Held, Then Released
Short box pleats sit closed until the swing opens them, then return. That is the whole structural argument. A curved front seam shapes the A-line without a rigid waistband fighting the body. One double welt pocket holds a golf ball. A second, along the side, fits a phone. The shorts are built in, joined at the top of the waistband, with a double-layered crotch gusset doing the work no one will see. Contrast binding finishes the top edge. The piece resolves itself.
