These are excellent shorts and well worth the money. Though I am still slender and fit, I am nearing 60 and the skin on my thighs is getting saggy. :( I no longer feel confident bearing too much thigh. These shorts end about 3 inches from the top of my knee and they fit very comfortably because there is a slight stretch in the fabric. I am 5'5", 127 lbs, and I normally wear a size 4, but I ordered a size 2 because nicer name brands tend to run bigger. I'm glad I did because they fit perfectly. So if you are looking for a longer, quality pair of shorts, these are the shorts for you.
