It won't be chilly for much longer, soon you'll get to show off a little leg. (Amazon)
We’re in the thick of summer, and the temps just keep climbing. Those drapey linen pants you loved a few weeks ago? Suddenly, they feel like too much. Time to switch gears. What you need now: a pair of comfy, breathable shorts you can throw on for anything — running errands, lounging around the house, even dashing out for an iced coffee. And if you want something that keeps you cool without showing too much skin, we’ve found the perfect pair: Quenteen Casual Sweat Shorts. Even better, they’re just $17 with the on-page coupon.
Grab a pair in black or choose from multiple other colors.
Not only are these shorts reasonably priced, but they tick all the right boxes. Soft and breathable, these stretchy shorts are made with cotton, spandex and polyester. That means they’re durable and will keep you cool and comfortable through the rest of the summer and even into fall. One feature that makes these shorts so comfortable? The waistband — not only is it elastic for comfort, but it also has a drawstring to make the fit customizable.
Falling just above the knee, these shorts are neither too long nor too short, but they come in plenty of colors. But if you want to stick to neutrals, you can get them in multipacks to shave a couple of bucks off the price.
More than 1,700 Amazon shoppers rave about these shorts. "I have been searching for shorts to wear to the gym that are appropriate for an almost 70-year-old woman!" rejoiced a happy shopper. "Longer length (just above the knee) & loose fit! Will probably order a couple more pairs."
"The perfect shorts wrote another satisfied customer. "Sturdy, heavy fabric, which could be hot except the shorts fit loose. The pockets are deep, so you don’t have to worry about losing your stuff, plus plenty big for an iPhone 11. A great short, but also long enough to cover my 69-year-old legs. I’m going to buy more, but there are too many color choices, making it hard to decide. Such a problem."
"[I] had just about given up on finding the 'perfect' [shorts] but yay! These are perfect," raved another fan. "The fit is comfortable, the legs are loose enough to be attractive and don't bind (I'm old). I'm very happy with them."
"They are stretchy and cool, and they wash and dry very well with no shrinkage," shared a savvy shopper, but added a caveat. "I do wish they had left off the metal ends on the ends of the ties. A fabric knot would be better, and not noisy in the dryer."
