The material doesn’t stretch and it runs very small, order 2 size up

These are very small shorts (I ordered a size XXXL) and they wouldn't even come up past my thighs. I've ordered other shorts from Fashion Nova, size XXXL, that fit perfectly fine, sometimes even a little too big, but this is now the second pair of these type of draw string shorts that are much smaller than they are indicated to be. BTW - The matching shirt fits perfectly. If you are a "plus" size guy, avoid these type of shorts.
