- Do these Express shorts run true to size?
- They are sold as one size for Small through Large, so the elastic drawstring waist does the fitting. Expect a relaxed fit that suits most waists but will be loose on smaller frames.
- What are the shorts made of?
- Cotton with stretch, per the listing. That means breathable but wrinkle-prone, so wash at 30 degrees and hang or fold promptly.
- Are they good for swimming?
- They are cotton casual shorts, not swim trunks. They dry slower than nylon swim shorts, so wear them to and from the water rather than in it.
- Is $19.97 a good price for these shorts?
- It is a low price for Express casual shorts and the only new listing as of November 7, 2026. There is no second store to compare against, so check the return policy before buying.
- What colors and patterns are available?
- This listing is the blue striped version. Express has offered solid and other striped casual shorts, but availability varies by season.
- Can I wear these to a casual office?
- The drawstring waist and bold stripe read as beach or weekend wear. They are a stretch for most offices, even casual ones.
- Where is the Express Striped Cotton Stretch Drawstring Elastic Waist Shorts cheapest?
- At Express, for $19.97, as of our latest check.
