High Waisted Dress Shorts With a Wide Waistband

Structured tailoring that flatters your silhouette

Some pieces solve the whole outfit without any effort, and these women's dress shorts are exactly that. A wide waistband, a high rise and a drape that holds its shape from morning to late afternoon.

The tailoring fabric has enough body to stay smooth, and the slightly relaxed fit through the thigh gives you room to move. If you are tired of pretty pieces that pinch, you will notice the difference the first time you wear them.

• Wide waistband with belt loops: supports the waist without squeezing and takes a belt whenever you want a new look
• True high rise: lengthens the leg instantly and highlights your natural curves
• Set in side pockets: truly functional and never bulky at the hip
• Clean straight hem: a short length with a neat finish and no folded cuff

Tailoring With Body and Breathability

A closed weave with a firm drape

The closed weave of these high waisted dress shorts gives you a firm drape without feeling rigid. With a subtle stretch in the yarn, the piece moves with you instead of resisting you.

Another thing that tends to surprise: the fabric barely wrinkles through the day. Even after hours in a meeting, the shorts return to their original shape on their own.

• Structured closed weave: holds its shape without stiffening your movement
• Wrinkle resistance: a polished look through the whole workday
• Balanced breathability: comfortable even on the hottest days
• Color that holds up in the wash: the waistband keeps its structure with frequent wear

The Cut of Tailored Dress Shorts

A short length with elegant proportions

The smooth front and the high waistband create one continuous vertical line, which is where the longer leg effect comes from. The slightly rounded side avoids a tight, restrictive look.

The difference between well cut dress shorts for women and a generic pair shows up right there, in the fit at the waistband and the fall of the tailoring fabric.

• Smooth front with no pleats: a minimalist look true to classic tailoring
• Discreet front closure: a button and zipper set into the waistband with no visible bulk
• Controlled short length: bold in just the right way and still work appropriate
• Two timeless colors: white and black, the two that go with everything

How to Wear Your Dress Shorts

From the office to happy hour without changing

At work, these women's high waisted dress shorts pair with a tucked in shirt and a blazer. When the workday ends, untuck the shirt and the same shorts become a dinner outfit.

On weekends they work with a tank and flat sandals just as easily. For travel, they are close to essential: they take little room in your bag and do not need an iron.

• Office and meetings: a professional posture with summer ease
• Dinners and casual events: instant polish with heels and a satin blouse
• Weekends: real comfort without giving up style
• Travel: a versatile pair that builds several outfits from a small suitcase
