Women's Plus Size Docker Metro Shorts

Women's plus size Docker metro shorts are a popular cut with a hemline that falls just above mid-thigh. Docker also makes similar shorts in other lengths, so the plus size woman can find exactly what she's looking for to fill out her summer wardrobe.

While other companies produce metro shorts, Docker metro shorts are a popular version of the company's most popular women's pants. They are casual but also dressy enough that they can be worn with open-toed heels, flip-fops or even athletic shoes. The cut of Docker's popular metro shorts complements plus size curves with a waistband that sits just below the natural waistline. They are machine washable and keep that crisp look with a pressed-in crease, so they make a great addition to a summer wardrobe for the woman who is on the go.

If you're in the market for women's plus size Docker metro shorts, you'll find more availability online than in your local retail shops. During the summer months, many online retailers provide exclusive offers to their customers that can't be found elsewhere, but shopping online also lets you find the shorts you're looking for even when they aren't in season. That way if you're planning a Caribbean cruise in December, you can still fine exactly what you'll need for those tropical ports. Here are a couple of online retailers to consider:

The Docker's website is a great place to start the search for a pair of the women's plus size metro shorts. They make shopping easy with images of the shorts from the front or back available with just the click of a mouse. The "curvy fit" features one inch more of fabric in the hip area than the regular fit and is cut with the plus size gal in mind to eliminate waistband gap. Sizes are available from 14W-28W.

If you prefer shorts that are a little longer, Docker also makes Women's Jaelynn Bermuda shorts or Misses Dockers Iconic Bermuda Shorts.

• Dockers Women's Jaelynn Bermuda – Fit much the same as Docker metro shorts, but are longer in length coming to just above the knee in Bermuda Shorts style.
• Dockers Iconic Bermuda Shorts also feature a flat-front and side-seam pockets. They are made from 98 percent cotton and 2 percent spandex.

Kohls.com also carries a selection of Docker metro shorts made with the plus size woman in mind. Along with Dockers, they offer a variety of styles and lengths of shorts with features like a flat front to provide a slimming look. Zipper fronts and tab closures help give you that perfect fit not available in shorts with an elastic waistband.

If you prefer to shop at a brick and mortar store, you can check with the Sears nearest you. They carry a selection of Docker shorts for women online and some neighborhood branches may have what you're looking for. It's always worth a call. The Docker shorts selection online includes:

• Dockers Relaxed-fit Pleated Shorts
• Dockers Relaxed-Fit Flat-front Shorts
• Dockers Shorts (up to size 16)

Dockers are not the only ones to manufacture 'metro shorts'. Trek makes women's metro shorts in plus sizes that are perfect for biking or other athletic events, but they look nothing like the casual/dressy version produced by Docker. The Trek metro shorts are designed with two layers. The layer next to your skin is made of fabric that wicks away body moisture to keep you dry while the outer layer is both durable and stylish. The shorts are designed with an elasticized drawstring waistband and front hip pockets to stash your things while you ride.
