Caroline | Women’s Elastic Waist Casual Drawstring Shorts Image

Cool, comfortable and covered

On hot days you want to feel cool without showing more leg than you would like. These shorts get it right. The relaxed, mid-thigh length feels comfortable and flattering, and the light, textured fabric looks fresh rather than sporty. Pair them with a plain tee and a pair of sandals and you look easily put together. You will feel relaxed, cool and ready to enjoy the sunshine, wherever the day takes you.

An easy waist and roomy pockets

The elastic waistband sits comfortably and the drawstring lets you set the fit exactly as you like, with nothing to pinch or dig in. The relaxed legs leave room to move, so you can sit, walk and kneel in the garden with ease. The patch pockets are roomy enough for your phone, keys or sunglasses. Light and airy, they feel almost like wearing nothing at all on a warm afternoon.

Garden days and summer holidays

A morning pottering in the garden, a walk to the village shop, an afternoon on the patio with a cool drink. These shorts are perfect for all of it. Pack them for holidays too, for days exploring a seaside town, lunches at the beach café and evening strolls along the front. With a tee and sandals by day and a light cardigan for the evening, they are easy summer dressing.

Your questions about this piece

Measure your hips and compare them with the guide, which gives UK, EU and US equivalents from UK 8 to UK 22 with length and hip measurements. The drawstring adjusts the waist; if you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

They fall to mid-thigh, a comfortable length that covers more than a short short while staying cool.
