High-rise woven shorts in taupe, with a self-tie belt in the same fabric that draws the waist in as tightly as you want it.
Highlights
✓A self-tie belt in the same cloth — you set the waist yourself, which is the difference between shorts that fit and shorts that nearly fit.
✓High-rise cut — the waistband sits at the narrowest point, so a tucked top stays tucked and the leg looks longer than the length suggests.
✓97% cotton with 3% spandex — cotton for the dry, breathable handle in heat; the small amount of spandex is what stops them going tight after an hour sitting down.
✓17 inches long on a size Small — measured through the body, with a 13.5 inch waist and 21.5 inch hip flat on that size.
✓Wash cool, dry low — cotton shrinks in heat, and taupe is a shade that dulls in a hot wash. Cool water keeps both the fit and the colour.
Taupe is the reason these work harder than printed shorts: there is nothing to match them to. They go with white, black, navy, denim and every other neutral in the wardrobe, which makes them the pair that ends up packed for a hot week away and worn three times.
Wear them with a plain tank in the afternoon and a blouse with the belt pulled in for the evening. Browse the rest of the jeans and bottoms, the tops to go above them in women’s tops, or the whole warm-weather edit in summer.
