Plus Size Women's Relaxed Fit Bermuda Short - Stretch Denim

Our review of the Lee Women's Plus Size Relaxed Fit Bermuda Short finds it best for women seeking a longer, comfortable denim short with a forgiving cut. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a mid rise that "sits at the waist" and a relaxed seat and thigh that keeps the fit comfortable without looking bulky. The stretch denim feels substantial yet flexible, so these Bermuda shorts move with you and retain their dark color through machine washing, making them a practical wardrobe staple.

Key Features

• Sits at the waist: Gives a secure mid-rise fit that works well with tucked tops and casual tees alike.
• Relaxed in seat and thigh: Provides extra room for comfort and better mobility compared with slim jean shorts.
• Stretch denim: Adds flexible comfort so the shorts keep shape and remain easy to wear all day.
• Five-pocket styling: Delivers classic denim utility with stitched back pockets for a neat, finished look.
• 10 in inseam: Offers longer Bermuda coverage that can be dressed up or down depending on footwear.

Who It's For

These Bermuda shorts are aimed at women who prefer longer denim shorts with a relaxed silhouette, particularly shoppers who want plus size options that do not cling in the seat and thigh. The comfortable stretch fabric and 10 in inseam make them good for everyday wear, errands, travel, and casual outings where modest coverage matters.

Shoppers who want a very fitted, fashion-forward short or a markedly short inseam should look elsewhere; this style favors comfort over trend-driven tightness. Also, if a lightweight summer-only short is desired, the substantial denim weight here may feel heavier than linen or thin blends.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Relaxed cut and stretch fabric combine for lasting all-day comfort.
• Durable denim and dark color hold up well to washer and dryer use.
• Versatile five-pocket styling and neat stitched back pockets make them easy to dress up or down.

Cons

• Longer 10 in inseam and heavier denim may be warmer than shorter, lighter summer shorts.
