Quick answer
Choose the Pima Sleep Shorts for lightweight, adjustable comfort during sleep or quiet evenings, and the French Terry Shorts for a more structured, breathable option that transitions from home to casual errands.
Fabric and feel
The Pima Sleep Shorts are made from handcrafted Peruvian Pima cotton with an elastic waist and adjustable drawstring, plus playful side slits for ease of movement. This makes them ideal for lounging in bed or relaxing at home where you want a soft, barely-there feel.
The French Terry Shorts use a soft, breathable French terry fabric that offers a bit more structure and durability. They are designed for warmer days and can handle light activity, like running errands, while still providing comfort.
Versatility and use cases
If you primarily need lounge shorts for sleep or quiet evenings, the Pima Sleep Shorts are purpose-built for that. Their lightweight design and side slits make them easy to move in while lying down or sitting.
For those who want a pair of shorts that can double as casual wear outside the house, the French Terry Shorts offer a more substantial fabric that holds its shape better. They come in versatile colors like Black, Ecru, and Sage, and are available in a full range of sizes from Extra Small to Extra Large.
