Hoyaheel Posted January 6, 2015 #6 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Lands End carries shorts of different lengths - 7" or 10", bermudas that look to be maybe 11"? (they look longer than the 10" ones on the website). So what is the "right" length for you depends on your inseam. I've also been able to find varying lengths at Kohls, but they probably aren't in the stores right now (they do have some choices online). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 6, 2015 #7 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) You are right...the selection of short styles has been AWFUL in the past few years...but there are some "regular" shorts out there....just takes some looking!!! I like a 5" inseam. Edited January 6, 2015 by cb at sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ontariotrekker Posted January 6, 2015 #8 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Old Navy carries a range of lengths in regular and plus sizes. I'm a plus size and generally wear skorts on shorex. They can also do double duty for casual nights with a nice top. Shar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandyMommyof2 Posted January 6, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 6, 2015 J Crew and Old Navy sounds like it would fit the bill for ya :) They have shorts with varying lengths. I have seen 3 inch to 9 inch. I would consider the 9 inch more of a "bermuda". Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilblondegenious Posted January 6, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 6, 2015 J Crew Factory has some 5" shorts in a variety of colors for a decent price: https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shorts/solid/PRDOVR~21760/21760.jsp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsPete Posted January 9, 2015 #17 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You could always get a too long pair and roll the cuff or have a tailor hem them to exactly the length you want.I'm not quite 5' tall, and I've hemmed shorts. Why? Exactly the OP's reasoning: I want a nice mid-length short. I don't want to look like I'm trying to be 16 years old, nor do I want to look as if I've borrowed my 100-year old grandmother's shorts! At my height, I'm quite accustomed to hemming things.

I hear you. Got a pair of navy khaki shorts at KMart that hit at exactly the right place. Regular waist with a zipper. Never know where you'll find something.

I have a singer that tends to do the trick. My grandmother taught me the basics when I was growing up, and though I never follow the rules when it comes to sewing, the items I hem seem to turn out the way I want them to.

Rare Lois R Posted January 10, 2015 #21 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Hi:)...Beall's normally has a good selection.....Coral Bay is one of the store brands....I like them. I also have a couple of pairs from QVC's Denim & Co line which I really like.:).....hmmm....I love Chico's jeans so maybe I will have to check out their shorts too. Just like other clothing, everyone has their own preferences so what works for one of us may not be good for someone else........hope you find what you are looking for:) OOPS....I totally forgot.....I have 3 pairs of shorts from Dillard's...they have a house brand called Kim Rogers. They are like a cargo short...I prefer a longer inseam and these are perfect (for me).....they are button fly front with elastic around the back. I should have mentioned them first........
