Walmart has been impressing shoppers in many departments, but especially with their clothing and shoes. From workout rompers to soft shorts, Walmart has some good lookalike products that rival high-end brands. One of their linen-blend shorts from Sofia Vergara’s clothing line is a perfect example, as it’s chic and looks so much like a style sold at Nordstrom that’s three times the price.
The shorts we’re talking about—which are labeled as one of their best sellers on Walmart’s site—are the Sofia Jeans Women's and Women's Plus Linen Blend Paperbag Shorts. These $20 bottoms are pretty straightforward paperbag shorts, meaning that they pleat at the top, almost like a bag would. They have a 4.25-inch inseam, so they fall at about mid-thigh or right above it. As its name suggests, it’s made of a linen blend of 55% linen and 45% rayon for the outer part of the shorts. The lining is made from 100% polyester.

These shorts have a high-rise fit, two pockets and belt loops. The pair comes with an adjustable O-ring belt that is the same color as the shorts. There are two colors or patterns to choose from: a solid “whisper white” or “opera mauve,” which is a pink, purple and orange print of big, tropical leaves. They also come in sizes XS through 5X, so the line has pretty great size inclusivity too.
So far, there are only 22 reviews, but it has a 4.6-star rating, which is promising. And the reviews the shorts do have are also favorable.
"Good buy," one person titled their review. "Elastic back made it comfortable. Flattering fit and lightweight."
Another person wrote that the shorts are “lovely” and they’re “very impressed” by them.
“They are a linen blend and look much more expensive,” they went on to write. “True to size… flattering high waist. The inseam was a smidge longer than I like, but they look nice cuffed as well, which makes them the perfect length for me."
MANGO Belted Linen Shorts, $59.99 at Nordstrom
As we already mentioned, and as one reviewer said above, these look a lot more high-end than they are. So it’s no surprise that they look like MANGO’s Belted Linen Shorts, which are $59.99 at Nordstrom. The MANGO shorts don’t have a paperbag style, exactly, but the cut and fit of the shorts are nearly the same. They also come with a belt with a statement buckle (but this one is rectangular and not an “O”). They are 100% linen and seem to fall at about the same length as Walmart’s.
Even if you haven’t shopped at Walmart for clothes before, the Sofia Jeans Women's and Women's Plus Linen Blend Paperbag Shorts seem like an instant purchase if you’re looking for stylish summer shorts. You can dress them up or down, and the fact that they’re so similar to the more expensive MANGO shorts is reason alone to snatch them up before they’re gone.
