I had just about given up the search for shorts when I found Anna's JCPenney rec. I haven't shopped at JCP in years, but I clicked the link, liked what I saw, and took a flyer on them. I ordered the a.n.a. short shorts (3-3/4 inch inseam) in two colors, and they are perfect. Thank you, Anna!

If anybody else is thinking of ordering, here's how they worked for my body type: I'm a rectangle with broad shoulders, and sized down in these after reading the reviews (normally I'm a solid 10, with the exception of a few brands that I know run larger). So the 8s ended up working well for me. Nice fabric, light, perfect for our humid summers. I just went back to the website and ordered another two pairs, these in the 5-inch inseam for a little variety.
