Lee Comfort Waist Cassidy Bermuda Shorts —

These are not your grandma's elastic waist bermuda shorts (although she would likely enjoy owning a pair herself). Lee Comfort Waist Cassidy Bermuda Shorts are an updated version of an old classic. Instead of choosing between the style of a button-and-zip waistband or the comfort of a pull-up elastic waist, Lee brilliantly combined the two to create a pair of shorts that are both comfortable and flattering.

With a 10-inch inseam and a just-below-the-waist fit, I knew I was going to love these shorts the moment I saw them on the JCPenney.com website. The bermudas are made of cotton/spandex stretch twill that responds easily to every move you make. There are two front pockets and two back pockets so they are practical as well.

The best part of the jeans, for me, is the comfort elastic that is hidden behind the waistband. The covered elastic lies flat against the waistband and it hasn't shown any signs of twisting, bunching, or rolling.

Anyone who has a wider than average torso, or who is very short-waisted will appreciate that you can now wear a pair of shorts that won't cut into your waist. Until I discovered these bermudas, I often bought my shorts one size larger to accommodate the waist, and then had the rest taken in to get rid of the extra fabric in the legs and seat. Either that, or I was stuck with pull-up style shorts. Comfortable, yes; stylish, no.

Lee Comfort Waist Cassidy Bermuda Shorts are available in black and latte, in both misses and women's sizes, and ranging in price from $21.99 to $24.99. As you can probably tell, I love these shorts and I think you will too.
