Okay, so I’ve been living in these Soffe shorts for weeks now, and I gotta say—they’re a game-changer. First off, the cotton is *chef’s kiss*. Thick enough to feel durable but still breathable for Florida’s swampy heat. No weird polyester nonsense here.
The waistband? A hero. It actually holds up my phone (and my dignity) without sagging like some other brands I’ve tried (*cough* Hanes). Plus, the drawstring is long enough to double-knot—no mid-walk wardrobe malfunctions.
Fit-wise, they run true to size but lean baggy (which I love for lounging). If you’re into shorter shorts, maybe size down or embrace the knee-length life. Pro tip: They shrink a smidge after washing, so air-dry if you’re paranoid like me.
Pockets are deep enough for my phone + keys, and after 5 years of abuse (yes, FIVE), my first pair only just started fraying. Worth every penny—I’ve already stocked up in black. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who values comfort over fashion (but hey, they’re not ugly either).
