FAQs
How short are they really?
The inseam is 3.75" — cute and casual without being too revealing. More coverage than a micro short, less than a bermuda. Right in the sweet spot that works for most occasions and most body types.
Do they stretch?
Yes — the 2% spandex gives real, comfortable movement without bagging out or losing shape. You'll feel the difference compared to a 100% cotton short from the first wear.
Are these flattering on curvy bodies?
Yes — the high rise holds and flatters through the waist while the stretch and relaxed leg opening accommodate the hip and thigh comfortably. Size up if you're between sizes or carry more through the hips for the best fit.
Will the dark wash fade?
Minimal fading with proper care — wash cold inside out and tumble dry low. The dark wash holds well and continues to look polished wash after wash.
Can I dress these up?
Yes — dark wash is the most dress-up-able denim wash. A flowy blouse, wedge heels, and gold jewelry turns these into a going-out or date night look. A white tee and sneakers keeps it casual. Both work completely.
What occasions work for dark wash distressed shorts?
Summer concerts, beach days, bachelorette weekends, girls trips, date nights, outdoor brunch, farmers markets, and everyday errands. Dark wash works everywhere light wash works — and then some. These are your most versatile summer short.
How to Style
Pair with a white fitted tee and sneakers for the classic everyday summer look. Style with a flowy off-shoulder top and wedge sandals for a date night or girls dinner outfit. Layer a denim jacket over a fitted bodysuit for a concert look. Add a flowy blouse tucked in the front and strappy heeled sandals for a polished warm-weather going-out look. Transition into early fall with an oversized flannel tied at the waist and ankle boots. These shorts work harder than almost anything else in your warm-weather wardrobe.
