Heidi Bottoms are made in the USA by Heidi Hat out of Aspen, Colorado. They are designed to fit like boy shorts - nice and snug. You get a choice of two styles - Low-Rise Hot Shorts and Hot Shorts. Its kind of self-explanatory. The low-rise version will land just below your hip bone and are cut a little higher in the leg opening. The other version is a more conservative cut - higher than the low rise but still below the belly button. The leg opening has a little bit of an inseam. Either way, they both have a lined gusseted crotch. Wear them wherever you like - at the water, in the fields, at yoga class, or under your sundress.
