Wrangler Men's and Big Men's Outdoor Performance Side Elastic Waist Short (30-48)

These are already stretchy from top to bottom. but the extra elastic sides are a bonus for everyday where. zippers really help keep your belongings from falling out.

I have many technical shorts in my wardrobe that I have paid way above $50 for. As an everyday short, for any adventure, rock climbing, mountain biking, the boat, doing errands, etc. they are just great. Two things I love are the elasticized waistband and the low fabric weight. I have over a dozen pairs, all colors, because I wear them 11-12 mos. a year in Alabama. My only concern is that Wrangler will dc them. Every spring I order 6 pairs or more. Disposable, for any reason, but fancy enough to be worn under an expensive sports shirt. My Ruger LCP 380 disappears in the front pocket. In any setting where shorts are appropriate, these will always pass muster, never feel underdressed. Warning: they do not fit true to size. I'm 33-34, and even the 32 can sag if it gets completely wet. So try on when you get them and return/order accordingly.
