maamgic Men's Classic-fit 5.5" Cotton Casual Shorts Elastic Waistband with Multi-Pocket Daily Wear Walking Summer Outfit

Good fit. Comfortable. Like the style and it's well made.

I've been a fan of maamgic since I first found the brand on Amazon in 2021. I was a fan of Chubbies swim trunks and shorts, but they cost too much. One day, like a (misspelled) magic, maamgic appeared as I was looking for options!I started with their 2-n-1, 5" swim trunks with compression liners. Love them. Buttery stretch and fantastic durability. I use them 3 times a week for running/exercise, and wash them 3 times per week. Held up for years now.Then, I found out they made Cotton shorts too in the 5" length. I am 5'10" and 170 lbs with an athletic build (not slim fit) and a 33W fit me perfectly (true fit). They are pretty short, but not too short - just perfect where they are still long enough to cover your boxer shorts. I wear ExOfficio Boxer Briefs. Wore them on a recent Disney World trip and they kept me feeling cool in the heat and humidity, and they dried very quickly when I got splashed.The elastic looks a bit like "grandpa" shorts, but you're not going to tuck in your shirt are you? The elastic band has a very light tension which is great for comfort and feel like gym shorts.No negatives here! Just my opinion, but anyone over 6' probably should consider a 7" short.

They feel great. Sit on the waist well and are very comfortable and stretch. I did have to return to get a bigger size. I’d go at least one size bigger.

My wife had been telling me for years that shorter was sexier. I finally bit the bullet and bought three pairs of these for a trip to Italy (because when in Rome…) I originally tried to go with chubbies but the color I wanted didn’t come in my size so I tried these out and I’m so happy I did. Not only are they half the price but they are just as good if not better. The material is super comfortable, they don’t ride up the leg, the pocket depth is perfect and the elastic waistband means they stay on top of my ass instead of falling off it. I’m 6’-1” and 195 lbs. my waist is 34 and 34 fit me perfectly. I’m going to buy every color. Just make sure that your upper thighs are tan enough and you’ll be good to go. And your wife will be happier. Trust me.

Good quality and color, true to size

Shorts are high quality and fit perfectly. True to size.

Fits well, nice material and style

I was very happy with the shorts...until I washed them. Despite the description that suggests otherwise, they wrinkle significantly after a cold wash and low drying. They need to be ironed unless you don't mind wrinkely shorts. The feel, fit and look are excellent. But I thought I was getting a wash and wear pair of shorts. Nope.
