This is my absolute favorite item of
clothing! I bought it for
golf, but will live in it this summer. The waist is non-existent (if you like that, I do!) There is no elastic, just a fabric waistband, but stays up nicely without squeezing anywhere. The rise is very low, which I love, too. The material is light, almost sheer, but in the black it works. The
shorts are more like boy-short
underwear than compression
shorts. They fit nicely-- not too snug and very light and cool. All in all, the perfect fit, fabric and styling for me. I jut wish they had it in other colors. I must say I ordered it in white and the white is too sheer. The
shorts show through.
