A MIDSIZE fashion fan has found the perfect pair of shorts for summer.
So if you've dug out your denims from last year and they're fitting a bit snug, fear not, you've come to the right place.

Not only are these shorts super purse-friendly, but they're so stretchy too.
But you'll need to move fast if you want to nab them, as sizes are selling out fast.
Sophie, a size 12 fashionista from Cardiff Bay, Wales, recently took to social media to show off her latest H&M order, which she described as one of her 'favourite H&M hauls ever.'
Not only did Sophie try on a gorgeous pair of brown trousers and a gorgeous dress that would be perfect for a wedding, but she also modelled the new Denim Drawstring Shorts.
Sophie was overjoyed with the shorts, as she beamed: ' Elasticated everything & COMFORT at its finest.
'Girls, I can't even deal!!! The denim shorts will be a staple piece to your wardrobe!'
Sophie styled the Denim Drawstring Shorts with a cropped white blouse and a pair of chunky black sandals, a look that we think is perfect for warm days.
The denims, which many online shoppers have hailed as the perfect length, are available to buy in three colours - light denim, medium denim and dark denim.
The loose-fit shorts are made with cotton denim and have a narrow drawstring at the waist.
Featuring side pockets and straight-cut hems, as well as a small slit at the side, these denim shorts are sure to turn heads this season.

You'll be pleased to know that they're super affordable and you'll even get change from a £20 note.
The shorts, which have amassed an average rating of 4.7 out of five on the H&M website, are priced at £19.99 and sizes range from an XS to a 4XL, making them perfect for a variety of different body shapes.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
Thanks to the elasticated waistband, these shorts are sure to be ideal for bloated days, but will also look fabulous for running errands or enjoying a picnic in the sun with pals.
Fashion fans beam
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ sostylishsoph, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 152,700 views, 4,527 likes and 30 comments in just 24 hours.
Fashion fans were left gobsmacked by Sophie's H&M finds and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Every single one of these I want! Love love love.'
Another added: 'Love everything.'
A third commented: 'You look incredible in it all!'
Meanwhile, someone else simply penned: ' Obsessed!'
