The Lakewashed Dock Shorts are generally well-received by customers. The fabric is described as soft, durable, and having a nice washed look. Customers praise the shorts for being comfortable, lightweight, and suitable for summer wear. The adjustable drawstring waist and roomy pockets are appreciated features. However, the fit seems to be a mixed bag, with some customers finding the length or leg fit not quite right. Overall, the majority of customers are satisfied with the quality, comfort, and versatility of the shorts.
I had a similar pair of shorts so I bought these when the old ones wore out. Very comfortable and the color goes with everything in my wardrobe. I love having 4 pockets!

I love the look of the lakewashed chambray shorts. They're as comfortable as an old pair of denim shorts but look so much nicer. I ordered a second pair for a vacation trip.

I just love the versatility of these shorts. They look smart and somewhat dressy and have a nice adequate (less tight) fit for the buttocks. The fabric resembles linen but is 98% c

Not For Me

Height: 5'3"
Size Purchased: 14
Fit: A little small
Used for: Casual or Every Day
I purchased these shorts hoping they would not be substantially different than the lake-washed shorts with natural waist that LL Bean has discontinued. Unfortunately, they were.

Great summer shorts
Fit: True to size
Just perfect for summer. These shorts don’t need ironed, they didn’t shrink in the washer or dryer. They are casual, comfortable and cool!

Nice little pair of shorts. Size up.

Fit: A little small

I sized up one size and this worked out well, since the rise on the new version of Lake washed is not generous. The color and fabric are good, though.
