Quick verdict

A thin cotton athletic short with a mid-rise drawstring waist, loose straight cut, and no belt, listed in S–XXL across a wide color range. No buyer QC or sizing feedback for this listing turned up, and published Palm Angels fit guidance conflicts, so treat fit as unconfirmed and ask the seller for flat measurements.

  • · Mid-rise, loose straight cut with an elastic drawstring waist and no belt
  • · Listed across S–XXL and a broad color range
  • · No fleece lining, which matches a spring and autumn sports use case

Cons

  • · The listing describes the pattern as solid color while also citing print detailing, so the actual graphic should be confirmed

Fit notes

General retailer notes on comparable Palm Angels cotton shorts say they run true to size, but published brand fit guides disagree, and no buyer feedback for this listing resolves it. The listing allows a 1–3cm measurement tolerance. Ask the seller for waist and inseam measurements in your size.

Buy if

You want a light cotton sports short in a relaxed, mid-rise cut that closes with a drawstring, and you're comfortable confirming measurements with the seller before ordering.

Skip if

You need verified fit or independent buyer feedback before buying, or you want a lined short for cold weather — the listing states no fleece and places the item in spring and autumn.

Buying FAQ

Common questions

Does this short run true to size?⌄

Retailer notes on comparable Palm Angels cotton shorts with the same waistband and cut say they run true to size, but other published brand fit guides say the label runs large or small, and no buyer feedback for this listing was found to settle it.

What is the fabric and how heavy is it?⌄

The listing gives cotton as the main fabric, describes it as thin with slight stretch, and lists breathability and wrinkle resistance among its stated functions, with no fleece lining.

How does the short fasten?⌄

It uses a drawstring closure at a mid-rise waist and ships without a belt.

What should I check before ordering?⌄

Confirm the flat waist and inseam measurements for your size, allow for the stated 1–3cm tolerance, and verify whether the colorway you want carries the print detail or a plain finish.

Evidence

Public notes used

sizing · tip · 28% confidence

Line-level only: across Palm Angels cotton shorts of the same construction family as this listing (elastic drawstring waistband, side pockets, mid-rise, relaxed/loose cut), retailer size-and-fit notes repeatedly state the shorts run true to size, so buyers would generally take their normal size. This is not buyer testimony for this specific Weidian batch and no QC or buyer sizing feedback for this listing was found, so it should be treated as a general guideline, not a verified fit claim.

Source
sizing · mixed · 25% confidence

Line-level caveat: published sizing guidance for Palm Angels is contradictory — some fit guides state the brand's bottoms run true to size, while others claim the label runs large and still others say it runs small and advise sizing up — so the label alone is not a reliable indicator of fit for these shorts. No buyer discussion specific to this listing was located to resolve the discrepancy.
