These white shorts are lined, so you don't have to worry about them being see-through. They also have an elastic waistband for comfort. I bought them last year, but I've only worn them once and they've been in my closet since. They have pleats and can be styled with cardigans or knitwear for a clean look, so I think they'll be useful in the coming season. The thread on the button at the waist is a little loose, so I've priced them a bit lower, but it would be best to have it resewn.
