I absolutely love the Essex Patchwork Madras shorts! I think Essex is the best of the KJP color patterns- red, navy, light blue, burgundy, dark and light green, khaki, and white. These go with so many solid colored items I have. I’m only 5’1” so they are a bit longer on me, but I think it’s a perfect length. Pockets, a flat front waistband elastic at the back makes them functional and comfortable. They run a bit big- I sized down one size and they fit perfectly!
