Ladies, I am having such a bother finding some nice knee length shorts without paying heaps. I waited for sales, but alas too late. Do any of you have any ideas?

My sister bought a nice pair of cotton trousers from Asda and then cut them to the length she wanted.

For around the house and garden I get old jeans and chop.

Have you looked at M&Co. I got a nice pair in the sales. Have a look online.

Thanks for that HB. I did consider chopping pair of trousers down to size. I'd ordered a pair of shorts from a climbing shop. Well you should have seen them! Talk about baggy! Hubby could have put them on and there would still have been legroom to spare. They wouldn't have fitted him round his middle though.  So they are going back tomorrow. Linen ones are all just as baggy. Think I may have to give up and buy early next year. Sods law it'll be back to usual summer weather in 2014!

Thanks for this thread CG.
I desperately need to get some new shorts, as I can't get into any of my old ones     
Despite exercising most days

I got some from Matalan, £10. Knee length.

Shorts are in short supply - apparently

Have bought a pair of lightweight trousers from stressco and will cut to required length. At least that way I can get the length I want.

Good solution

I have a couple of pairs left over from previous years that didnt get much of an outing til now!

Legs chopped, hems turned up by hand and sun has vanished!

I bought some Capri trousers yesterday from Sai***urys, they are quite nice.
Couldn't find any proper shorts though, all to short/tight or long/baggy.

These are the type I like, look up a company called ORVIS online

[CLKD]

Cotton Traders?  I have at least got into a skirt since it became hotter, shorts 

[Joyce]

Totally forgot about Cotton Traders. Thanks for reminding me CLKD. 

Never heard of orvis. A tad expensive though. But thanks for suggesting it silverlady.

[CLKD]

Orvis do all types of 'wear'.  Particularly for the riding set .......... I see their Stands are Shows.  M&Co.  Charity shops .......
