Frequently Asked Questions

We know, right? It’s partly because of the clever construction of our women's cargo shorts, partly because of the first-rate fabric blend and partly because it supports your body without feeling constricting. Plus, IT HAS A POCKET.

They're both! We’re glad you asked. Think of them as a combination between an old-school slip, a boxer brief and a bike short: They give you coverage under short or too-sheer outfits, stop your inner thighs from trying to start a forest fire, and light smoothing with no VPL (the word “panties” weirds us out, too). Plus, the knit-in cotton-rich crotch means you can wear them without underwear if you want, eliminating the need for an extra layer.

Thigh Society shorts don’t compress you or suck you in like shapewear. Instead, they’re a lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking essential you’ll reach for again and again.

Flexible and stretchy, our waistband is made from the same fabric as the shorts, just double-folded and sewn-in. It stretches to your curves, never cuts into them. The waistband is like the Loch Ness Monster: you’ll doubt it really exists.

The pocket is made of the exact same fabric as the shorts, and sewn in with a flat seam that sits flush against your body. No added bulk aside from the treasures you decide to stash in it.

Cargo shorts

I love being able to wear these under summer dresses so I have a pocket for my phone, and no more sweaty or chafing inner thighs!

Cargo thigh 5”

I recently purchased the cargo shorts.
I wore them under a summer dress and was pleasantly surprised with the fit being snug without being too compressed. They moved with my body and no wedgies. They kept me cool and comfortable all day. Love them.

LOVE

I love these shorts I have so many colors, I wish they had more colors because I love to wear them and match them with t shirts for workout or casual activities!

Best I’ve found

They’re long enough they don’t roll up, high waisted so they don’t roll down, breathable material that’s not itchy, even a pocket.

I’m typically a size 14/16 petite, I bought a L and sized down to a M. So depending on waist size consider sizing down.

Took like 6 pairs with me on vacation, where have these been all my life?
