If they'd had 4 I'd have gone with those, but I thought 5 might be too big with a looser fit. They are the most comfy shorts ever, I feel like I need to go hit an all-you-can-eat buffet in them ha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2721846 Sat, 08 Apr 2017 14:42:52 +0000 Smurfette 2721846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babypugs: oh those look comfy.

At first I was a little meh on the drawstring shorts (I thought they were going to be super "mom" out of the package) but once I got them on I was like oh yeah!!</p> <p>Now I just have to shave my legs so I can wear them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2720972 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:33:02 +0000 Boogs 2720972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babypugs: So I got and tried on the two pairs of factory shorts I linked to and love them! Can't wait to hear what you found! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717732 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 09:39:38 +0000 youboots 2717732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: thanks again! I may get more.</p> <p>This thread is good for me. I am really self conscious about my legs. I have several scars from biopsys for skin cancer. Strangely I feel fine in swimwear (because it's for a purpose) but I have typically only worn long pants or maxis in the summer. Since I had my daughter I'm so much prouder of my body and am finally wearing shorts and short dresses regularly and feel good about it. I need to be a good example to my daughter. I also need some shorts 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717703 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 08:30:57 +0000 jape14 2717703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: yes! the jacquard ones are my fave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717681 Wed, 29 Mar 2017 07:49:42 +0000 Anagram 2717681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>JCrew factory had these super flattering shorts last year with an elastic waist that really help the mommy love handles. I assume I got the 5" shorts and not the 3" kind, but I'm not sure. They had more colors last year, but they were like this. <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/PRDOVR~C0434/C0434.jsp" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/PRDOVR~C0434/C0434.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717593 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:48:16 +0000 travellingbee 2717593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite are the Banana Republic Hampton shorts which are 3 1/2 inches. But I'm only 5'4" so fairly petite, and long shorts are not flattering.. I'm almost 40! 😱 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717580 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 18:04:20 +0000 Charm54 2717580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Ann Taylor city shorts ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd/page/2#post-2717578 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 17:49:09 +0000 babypugs 2717578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: Got some of those too, I'm all about comfy! </p> <p>I can't go back and thank everyone because of the page break but seriously, thank you!

They were the most comfortable things EVER. Super bummed they don't have them again this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717497 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:43:25 +0000 youboots 2717497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: I just bought 3 pairs, 50% off and free shipping, score. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717491 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:27:20 +0000 Portboston 2717491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My vote is target. I got a great pair of distressed cut offs last year. They're probably slightly too short for my age but I (sadly) lost all my ass when I stopped nursing. So I don't have much to cover up 😥 My next favorite pair is a 3-4" rolled up denim short from H&amp;M. I found them online and had to order about 4 different pairs before I found one that fit. But I love them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717486 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:18:14 +0000 Boogs 2717486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jape14: I saw those and almost grabbed a pair to try, now I want to try them lol. Gotta love an elastic waist band! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717469 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:46:19 +0000 jape14 2717469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to put in a plug for the J.Crew factory pull-on (aka elastic waistband) shorts. They come in 3" and 5" lengths and they're amazing. I have worn them 9 months pregnant, newly postpartum, and not-so-newly postpartum, and I love them like crazy. Madewell has a version that I also really like. </p> <p><a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/PRDOVR~A5329/A5329.jsp" rel="nofollow">https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/boardwalk_pull_on/PRDOVR~A5329/A5329.jsp</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717466 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 13:38:54 +0000 muffinsmuffins 2717466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eddie Bauer! I bit the bullet and bought 3 different styles last year and I love them all. I have large thighs and butt and they are stretchy but not clingy, good rise, and a great length. Looks like they have a sale now too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shorts-for-the-over-30-crowd#post-2717433 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 12:30:38 +0000 snowjewelz 2717433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babypugs: You really can't...
