"A high-waisted, side-tab short is just so hard to look bad in. The higher rise keeps all excess belly meat in cleanly (or lack there of), the lack of belt loops keep the front and back clean while the side tabs provide security throughout your day. The ramie fabrication has the natural wearing, breathable properties of cotton or linen but a whole lot more texture being slubby and nubby giving it almost a phantom pattern. You know the deal, open camp shirt, tank top tucked it, lookin smooth."---Kenshawn
