    Oh yeah, no worries buying from the women’s section. They get all the fun clothes that guys can also look cute as hell in. One of my buddies got some shortalls from the women’s section and looks great.

    Chubbies has some shorts that are currently out of stock, but come in many sizes and colors. https://www.chubbiesshorts.com/products/the-khakinators-2-originals?Size=L

    I ended up going with some shorts from Huckleberry just to test the waters and have something immediately, I found 5" dark green chinos, not unlike the model above. Unfortunately no D-ring closure, but still close.

    Thank you for the tips and terminology! I’ll keep up the hunt for good tops to pair with these shorts.

      Fair warning for buying trousers made for the opposite gender as what you were assigned. Women’s section trousers will have a bigger difference in the waist circumference and hip circumference. This could make them bulge/flare weirdly at the hip (just a guess, I have the opposite problem where the top of the waist band will have a gap even if the bottom of the waist band is snug. AFAB mostly buying men’s trousers.) Might take a while to find ones that you like, or you could get them tailored. But at that point, it might be easier and cheaper to get longer inseam shorts and have them shortened. Re hemming can even be done yourself if you have access to and cursory knowledge of a sewing machine, or know someone who does.

        Oh yeah, I’ve bought non unisex clothing before and I’m used to the different cuts. That’s just the world we live in! Sometimes you get baggy spots where your hips are thinner, or narrower in the chest.
