Who wears short shorts? Well, not Us. Definitely not all the time. We think many shoppers can agree that sometimes we just want something a little longer, a little looser, a little less likely to leave us constantly pulling down the hiked-up hem. We’re all about shopping mid-length shorts lately!
Mid-length shorts (or midi shorts) are longer than Daisy Dukes but shorter than Bermuda shorts. They sit at a sweet spot right in the middle, offering a little more coverage and usually a little more comfort too — while still looking majorly cute! Check out our 17 current favorites below from Amazon and beyond!
