I think it would work, not too baggy though. I mean I ride with my jersey unzipped and stuff in the pockets. I am mainly looking for somewhere safe to keep the phone and neother shorts have deep enough rear pockets. The Victory Chimps have a zipped in the front pocket, but that means keeping your phone in your front pocket. That's a no.
best design are some Evans house-brand shorts they discontinued, and they have two zipped pockets that go backwards from the side seem. Someone needs to rip that design off, its perfect.
Anything that’s loose is no good for carrying shit, as it just swings around. If I want casual look with jersey pocket option, I wear an Overland Dual baselayer with something else over the top. Only annoying thing is that I cant wear it as a “true” baselayer as bib straps need to be underneath to allow access to the pockets. As a result I usually end up with a normal mesh baselayer on as well
