Freakin in love with these, THANK YOU for finally releasing and please don't be afraid to keep them (and the Seasoft shorts) year-round and add more colors! They're the perfect alternative for those of us who'd love to be comfy in fleece pants/joggers year around but live in the warmer regions wher...e that's only an option a couple months out of the year! They're the most comfy shorts for lounging with the added bonus of also being high quality with a classic style and enough coverage to wear out and about. I used to buy fleece shorts from a certain big box retailer but they were always lower quality (would show their age fast) or too short for anything but lounging. Happy to pay a little more for more durability and wear. As for sizing, I wear the same size as the Forever Fleece joggers -- they're quite oversized, and at 5'9, 135lbs with longer legs, I'm an XS regular (didn't need the tall joggers, the regular was fine----for reference, I'm a M in all the leggings). Wasn't sure if the hip/rear fit of the shorts would be different than the joggers so I tried on in-store before I purchased (they fit the same for me). I've worn them a LOT and am glad to see new colors coming out!

Have never ordered this style before, sized down to XXS & glad I did, very heavy fabric & still seems really big on me, if I roll the waistband over they fit better, looks really cute with my Seasoft white sweatshirt.

Comments about Forever Fleece Short

Color is super bright, fun beach shorts for the summer! Runs a little small, I'm 5'0" 160lbs and wear M in Athleta fleece sweatpants but needed a L in these. Three stars because they're overpriced for what they are - maybe add a zipper pocket for keys/ID/credit card.

I always size down one size in these for a comfortable fit. I love the color offered! These shorts look great on, are comfortable, wash well and you can wear them anywhere.#Sweepstakes
