Anyone ride in baggy knickers? If so, brands you like?

[Catrin]

I have the Zoic La Vida knickers and really like them! There are two snaps on the bottom so I can tighten them when I'm riding, and loosen them when I'm just walking around. The material is lightweight, and the liner is, well, Kick *** (that's the name of it, and it's very comfortable ). I wasn't sure what to do about the sizing, as my waist put me at a small, but my hips put me at a medium. I went with the medium, and haven't had an issue, as the waist has velcro straps that you can pull in to adjust the fit.

I also ordered the All Night Long shorts for when it gets a little warmer. I had tried on a pair and they're a little heavier-weight material than the La Vida's and have a lower cut waist. I went with the smalls on these. And I love the plaid, plaid, PLAID!

I love these, though am afraid of plaid

My problem is how I am built. Unlike most women, ALL of my weight is in my stomach, while everything is a lot smaller these days I still have that problem. There can be a full size difference between my stomach and hips Outside of being large busted I am built more like a man in that way.

Everything else is skinny

All of this leads to my question, on the shorts you have reported on, and the same for the Greta shorts if someone has experience with them. I do NOT want to get them to fit my stomach (I am extremely high-waisted which is why I am not referring to my waist) but to fit my legs. Do the waistband in these shorts provide enough give for this? I wear a medium in PI shorts (and their baggy shorts as well).

[NoNo]

They do have a non-plaid version. Maybe they would work for you, since, as I pointed out, they're a low-cut waist. So maybe your stomach wouldn't come into play. They just shipped today, but when they come in I'll post a picture to give an idea of their fit on a "real" person and not those stick models they love to use.

Oakley shorts fit wonderfully for a curvy butt.
