The verdict
Fit
The bloomer cut is gathered and sits at the thigh, a deliberately relaxed silhouette. Outdoor Voices fit is consistent; expect a comfortable, unstructured waistband. Bloomer proportions are forgiving.
Quality
Bloomers are casual basics. Outdoor Voices' construction is standard—reliable seaming and predictable fabric behavior. Not a durability-focused cut, but adequate for casual wear.
Is the price fair?
At $38, the price is reasonable for a playful, on-trend silhouette from a known brand.
Best for
A wearer seeking a fun, relaxed short for home wear, casual play, or retro-inspired styling.
Care
Machine wash; tumble dry low.
What owners report about Outdoor Voices shorts
Reviewers of the RecTrek shorts describe a very stretchy, durable fabric with deep trouser-style hand pockets that hold a phone securely, and note the colorblock seams have held up well in use. The main criticism is that the fabric sits at the heavy, thick end for shorts, making them better suited to cooler days than dedicated summer use. Broader owner feedback describes the brand's clothing as well-made with good freedom of movement, though the pricing draws comment.
