The style of shorts you choose has a lot to do with your personal priorities.
Youll also want to consider the overall fit.
When the weather permits, nothing feels better than tossing on a pair of breezy shorts and heading outside.
Here are my top plus-size short picks, all of which have rave reviews on Amazon.
The shorts have a zipper-fly closure, an elastic waistband, and front and back pockets.
According to a reviewer:Fit was absolutely perfect.
These are honestly the best quality shorts I have ever purchased.
Material is breathable and stretchy but still holds you in nicely.
Highly recommended; you couldnt find something this well made in a department store.
The pull-on pants have a thick elastic waistband and a drawstring closure, so theyll stay comfortably in place.
Plus, they come in unique shades like rust orange, mustard yellow, and army green.
They look nice enough that I could definitely wear them out and around if I wanted.
These plus-size black shorts are also available in classic charcoal heather.
According to a reviewer:The fabric is nice and thick, but still very soft.
There is a lot of stretch.

But I could definitely use them for walking if I wear a long Tshirt.
The legs do not roll up and the waist band does not roll up.
They have a slim fit throughout, but thanks to the hint of spandex, theyre not constricting.
This pair features a rolled hem, zipper fly for easy on and off, and pockets.
