Who makes slim-fitting "dressy" shorts?

I find that most generic makers produce rather baggy shorts -- they look like skirts!

Any thoughts/recommendations?

Just bought two wonderfully simple slim-fitting shorts at Zara.
But don't ask me about the quality.

I have a couple pairs of very trim linen dress shorts from Mabitex. My only caveat is that they require dry-cleaning.

I think he misread the title...

I think slim fitting shorts look very sophomoric.....almost school-boyish. Shorts are uber-casual....they should be baggy and comfortable. Unless you want to look like Angus from AC/DC

Thanks, I'll check out Zara.

I find that slim-fitting shorts are just as comfortable (slim-fitting, not form-fitting)... and they don't look like skirts.
