I really like these. So much so, that I went back and ordered more after trying them on. I have two in beige and two in black. They are the perfect length—short enough for short dresses and skirts so they don’t show, but just long enough to prevent chafing of the inner thighs. The criss-cross design is flattering and a cute design element, and has just enough compression to smooth any bumps without being uncomfortable. The material is smooth and thick enough to conceal panty color/lines under dresses, though do show if you wear them alone (non-seamless panty lines will show, and dark colors/patterns will show through the beige shorts). It’s a nice material—very comfy and doesn’t make me too warm like other biker shorts I’ve tried. I also love that it has pockets! The only downside I’ve experienced is that they tend to ride up, but I experience that with any sort of biker shorts.
