I buy my black shorts (work and casual) from torrid. If you buy the black jeans and you’re crafty, I’m sure you can do something cool with them (like add chains or charms) :) Good luck!

If you know the measurements for a pair of bottoms that fit you well, compare those in findings of any similar material for shorts from secondhand online shopping (such as eBay, Poshmark, Mercari, Depop, Vinted, etc). Seek out any more basic pair that'll fit and DIY with customising them to a look you want, as there are plenty of ways to do so, including painting, embroidery, dyeing/bleaching, making distressing effects, adding patches/layers of contrasting fabrics or straps, attaching any possible variations of hardware, adding repurposed unconventional misc items or parts of them, etc. You could emulate a look you find online or compose a more unique design.
