Polished shorts for town

Denim shorts can look a little too casual for lunch in town. These are different. The deep wash, front pleats and high waist give them the neat, tailored look of a pair of smart trousers, only cooler. Tuck in a pretty blouse, add a few gold bangles and a clutch, and you look pulled together and elegant on the warmest day of the year. You will feel smart without ever feeling overdressed.

A high waist that holds you

The waistband sits high and flat, so it holds you comfortably and stays put when you sit down. The pleats add a little room through the hip, and the leg falls straight to mid-thigh without riding up as you walk. Slip your hands into the slanted pockets as you wander round the shops. The denim feels sturdy yet comfortable, keeping its smart shape from morning until evening, however much you walk.

Lunch dates and summer city breaks

Wear them for lunch with a friend in a sunny courtyard, an afternoon wandering round a gallery or a summer city break where you want to look smart and stay cool. They are just as good for a Saturday at the farmers' market with a striped tee and espadrilles. In the evening, add a fine knit over your shoulders and a pair of wedges for an outdoor supper in the garden with friends.

Your questions about this piece

Sizes run from S (UK 8) to 5XL (UK 22), with the EU and US equivalents in the size guide. The waist sits high and fitted, so take your usual size, or the larger one if you are between two.

Tuck in a blouse or a fine knit to show off the high waist and pleats, then add sandals or loafers and a small bag. They also look good with a light blazer.

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.
