High-waist shaping shorts with a longer leg — smoothing through the middle and down the thigh in one piece.
The two reasons people buy these
The stated one is the smooth line under a dress or fitted trousers. The unstated one is that the longer leg stops thighs rubbing, which for a lot of women is the actual reason they own several pairs. Both are legitimate; only one usually gets mentioned in the copy.
Fit
- High waist that sits above the natural waistline
- Leg long enough to cover where rubbing happens
- Flat leg finish so it does not print a band through clothing
Sizing
Between sizes, take the larger — shorts that are too small roll at the waist and ride at the leg.
