I think baggy shorts feel better to wear, and are less restricting. The summer here jumps out at us in the space of a week, so we dont expect the heat, baggy shorts are a blessing.
Totally agree. I wouldn't wear tight or short shorts. I prefer the ones that are like cutoff combats, with loads of pockets (inc. zip-up ones). When I go out on a hot day I don't like taking a jacket with me, unnecessarily, so it's good to have somewhere to put the wallet, the credit cards, two sets of keys, rail season ticket wallet, tissues, phone, headset etc etc.

I keep getting bought useless shorts with crappy mesh pockets that are too shallow to put anything in. They just get chucked in the bottom of the drawer and are never worn (in fact they'll probably end up in the charity collection!).
