Polished even on the hottest day

When the temperature climbs, it is easy to give up on looking smart. These shorts let you stay cool and still look like you made an effort. The fine stripe and front pleats read as proper tailoring, so a loose white shirt and a pair of sandals are all you need. You walk into a cafe or a meeting looking fresh and put together, while everyone else is wilting in their jeans.

Room to breathe at the back

The front looks neat and flat with its button and pleats, while the back of the waistband is elasticated, so it moves with you when you sit down to lunch. The leg is relaxed and falls to mid-thigh, with a turn-up that keeps the hem from riding up as you walk. Slip your hands into the side pockets and you will feel how easy they are to wear from morning to evening.

City breaks and summer lunches

Pack them for a city break, where you will walk for hours and still want to look smart for an early dinner. Wear them for lunch on a terrace with friends, a gallery visit or a summer afternoon at the cricket. Tuck in a linen-look shirt and add a belt for a sharper look, or wear them with a knitted vest when the evening turns cooler. They are as happy at a wedding lunch as at the shops.

Your questions about this piece

Use your hip measurement: S (UK 8) measures 99 cm at the hip and 3XL (UK 18) measures 115.5 cm, taken on the shorts themselves. The elasticated back gives a little extra ease. If you are between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Tuck in a loose shirt and add sandals or loafers for town, or wear a simple vest with trainers for the weekend. A belt makes the high waist look even sharper.

Your order is prepared within 24 to 48 hours, then delivered in 8 to 15 days; costs and the free-delivery threshold are shown in your basket. You have 14 days from delivery to return it.
