I had planned on using the shorts for sublimation or vinyl application. Turns out my daughter absolutely loved them.. and kept them! These can definitely be unisex short. She wore them right away. And continues to choose them first after every washing, out of all her other shorts! There are good quality material. I don't know if I would say lightweight.. but definitely sturdy and cozy! I would certainly buy them again.
Overall these shorts are very modest and go with anything. I love the pockets and how big they are and I like the drawstring waist. I ordered a small but I would size down if you want a tighter fit. Veryyyy soft. I recommend these shorts for anyone looking for a nice versatile pair.
