I believe the correct term to use here is “paper-bag shorts” but I’ve officially dubbed these things mom shorts. Just tuck in those loose odds & ends, tie that puppy up and fuhgettaboutit. I often used to wear denim shorts pre-baby but now I find myself doing the fingertip rule and wondering if I should just toss those shorts that don’t pass the test because I’m not a regular mom nor a cool mom, just a mom who’s worried about her extra junk falling out. Ya know? Anyway these shorts just work cause they’re high-waisted yet appropriate in length and despite those two features, they don’t feel frumpy. I call that a win!
