  • wonderful
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set D
Absolutely Thrilled! These Clothes Are a Game-Changer! I just received my latest clothing order and I am genuinely beyond impressed – these pieces are an absolute revelation! I honestly don't know where to start praising them, but suffice it to say, if you're on the fence about trying this brand or these particular items, jump right off and hit "add to cart" immediately. From the moment I unboxed them, the quality was immediately apparent. The fabric feels luxurious against the skin; it's soft, drapes beautifully, and has a substantial, high-end feel without being heavy. You can tell these aren't just trendy throwaway pieces; they're made to last and feel incredible doing so. But it's not just the feel – the fit is absolutely impeccable. I often struggle with finding clothes that truly complement my shape, but these are tailored to perfection. They hug in all the right places without being restrictive, and the cut is incredibly flattering. It’s that magical combination where you feel both incredibly comfortable and effortlessly stylish. I felt an instant boost of confidence the moment I put them on. The attention to detail is another huge win. The stitching is flawless, the buttons (where applicable) are securely fastened and thoughtfully chosen, and any subtle design elements are executed with precision. It’s these small touches that elevate a garment from good to truly exceptional. I've already put them through their paces (and a wash cycle!), and they've held up beautifully. No fading, no shrinking, no loss of shape – they look just as fantastic as they did fresh out of the package. This speaks volumes about the quality of materials and construction. Honestly, I haven't been this excited about new clothes in a long time. These aren't just purchases; they feel like an investment in my wardrobe and my comfort. If you're looking for pieces that blend superior comfort, sophisticated style, and undeniable quality, look no further. I'm already planning my next order! Five stars, wholeheartedly recommended! ... show more

  • Questionable Longevity, but Amazing Value
Size: XX-Large Color: Set J
These shorts are quite comfortable and fit very nicely, however, you certainly get what you pay for in quality. After my first wear, two of the shorts had already begun unraveling slightly. However, a quick snip of the loose threads have held off that problem for the time being. In terms of appearance, they do really look nice in person! The designs are what you would expect from a far more expensive shorts brand, while only setting you back a small fraction of the price. In terms of sportswear, they're very stretchy and lightweight while not feeling overly cheap (despite my issues with the loose threads). For the price, I'm quite happy and can easily recommend these, as long as you're comfortable with these not lasting for many years. ... show more

  • Decent Value, But Some Trade-Offs
Size: 3X-Large Color: Set M
These shorts are a decent deal for the price — you get five pairs, and they’re lightweight and breathable, which is great for workouts or just lounging around. The mesh material keeps you cool, especially during summer. That said, the quality is a bit hit or miss. Some pairs fit slightly differently than others, and the stitching doesn’t feel super durable. One pair started to fray after just a few washes. Also, the pockets are a bit shallow — things like phones tend to fall out if you’re moving around a lot. Overall, they get the job done for casual use or as backup gym shorts, but don’t expect premium quality. If you’re on a budget, they’re fine — just manage your expectations. ... show more

  • Affordable, durable & reasonably good looking shorts!
My family & I have bought a total of six sets of these for 3 members of the family over the years. If you're on a budget & looking for something that'll last a while to act like shorts? This should be your go-to selection.

  • Versatile Athletic Shorts That Deliver on Every Promise
Size: X-Large Color: Set M
This 5-pack of Real Essentials mesh shorts has become my go-to for everything from gym workouts to weekend errands. The 9-inch inseam hits the perfect length - not too short to be inappropriate for casual wear, but not so long they interfere with athletic movement. The variety of colors in the pack gives me great options to match different shirts and activities. What stands out most is the mesh fabric quality. It's substantial enough to be durable and non-see-through, while providing excellent breathability during intense workouts. The material wicks moisture effectively and dries quickly, which is essential for both gym sessions and hot weather activities. After months of regular washing, they've maintained their shape and color without significant fading or pilling. The fit is comfortable and true to size with a relaxed cut that allows full range of motion. The elastic waistband with drawstring provides secure adjustment without being restrictive. Pockets are deep enough for phone, keys, and wallet without items falling out during activity. The loose fit works well for basketball, running, and weightlifting without binding or chafing. Build quality across all five pairs is impressively consistent. No loose threads, uneven seams, or construction defects - each pair feels identical in terms of quality and fit. The reinforced stress points show attention to durability where it matters most. For the price of this 5-pack, the value is outstanding compared to buying individual athletic shorts from major brands. Having multiple pairs means I can rotate through them easily during busy workout weeks. Perfect for anyone needing reliable, comfortable athletic shorts - excellent quality at an unbeatable multi-pack value. ... show more
