Sometimes it’s not about modesty — it’s about not wanting your thighs stuck to a subway seat or brushing against a public bench with bare skin. If you’re the kind of person who likes a little barrier between you and the world, long shorts are basically non-negotiable.
You don’t have to choose between comfort and coverage. These 13 pairs of Bermuda-length and knee-grazing shorts keep things breezy without leaving your skin totally exposed. Whether you’re sitting at a picnic table, hopping into rideshares, or just not in the mood to feel every hot surface, these shorts on Amazon have you covered — literally.
