I bought these shorts in size 4 which I wear in the full length pants with no issues. The shorts looked hideous on me. They were quite baggy in the seat and thigh area. I guess they would work okay for a woman with a bigger butt and thighs but they didn't look good on me. I returned them. I'm not going to order clothing online any longer as the sizing is never consistent and I end up returning almost everything I order. I had to spend $8 on return shipping. Never again.

Size
For this active 70+, these are my absolute go to shorts! They do run a bit big but nice to order a size smaller than usual!
The shorts are a good length and have many pockets which is nice but the material is heavy. I bought two pairs in different colors both in the the same size. One pair though is bigger than the other. Both are bigger on me but one pair hangs off of me.
I purchased the 10" and the 7" shorts in the tan color and I am very happy with them. I normally wear a 16 but I purchased 14 based on other reviews. They are fitted but comfortable. I like the wide band in the back and I think it makes a significant difference in the comfort of these shorts. I also really like the gusseted fabric in the crotch area. If I had purchased a 16 they would have been too large.
I realize these get high reviews, but I did not find these shorts comfortable. The material was stiff and I felt it would feel warm and not very breathable in the summer time. I do not know if they soften up with washing, but I was not willing to keep them to find out. The fit was off for me. I ordered 2 sizes, the smaller size fit me in the hips and thighs with the waist being just a bit snug, but wearable. The larger size was way too roomy in hips and thighs, but the waist was more comfortable. The multi-colored blue shorts are darker in person, and because of this, I felt they looked more like they were for a male.
