Hi Readers–
This weekend is forecasted to hit 90 degrees in the city, so what I was hoping to be a longer term search is going to be more immediate. To wit:
I endeavor to find, and purchase, at least one pair (ideally more, though) of shorts which posses the following traits:
- Work appropriate (casual dress code, but still looking professional, if that makes sense)
- Approximately knee length
- Has actual functional pockets for wallet, cell phone, chapstick
- Machine wash/dry-able
- Not crazy expensive
- Actually fit (Meaning–not tight in the thighs, ride at or just below the belly button, don’t show my crack, available in my size which ranges from 10 to 14 depending on the manufacturer)
My biggest hurdle so far has been the combination of 1 and 3–”work appropriate” means “don’t look like I am wearing men’s shorts” and, well, only men’s shorts get good pockets. Apparently ladies don’t need to, um, have things? Or just that the smooth thigh/ass is more important than functionality. Whatever.
This may be impossible, but I aim to try. I’m all about goals these days. Any suggestions, kids?
