Let me start by saying, these Chubbies Chino Shorts are a game-changer for anyone who struggles to find the perfect balance between comfort and style. The 5.5-inch inseam is just right—not too short, not too long—making them ideal for casual outings or even semi-professional settings.

The elastic waistband is a dream come true, especially for those of us who are between sizes. It offers just the right amount of stretch without feeling too loose. Plus, the side and back pockets are super functional, though I did find a receipt from a previous owner in one of them—guess I got a used pair!

The fabric is a stretchy cotton blend that feels lightweight and breathable, perfect for summer. They don’t wrinkle easily, which is a huge plus for someone like me who hates ironing. The colors are rich and vibrant, exactly as pictured.

Now, the downside: they’re pricey. At $60 a pop, they’re definitely an investment. But if you’re like my husband, who’s on the shorter and chunkier side, these shorts are worth every penny. They fit him perfectly, hitting just above the knee, and he no longer looks like he’s swimming in his clothes.

One tip: size down if you’re between sizes. I followed the size chart and ended up with a looser fit than I’d like. A belt fixes the issue, but it’s something to keep in mind.

Overall, these shorts are a solid 9/10. They’re comfortable, stylish, and durable. I’ll definitely be buying more—just hopefully not used ones next time!
