Wide-leg, below-the-knee cut that skims rather than clings - the silhouette is relaxed but structured enough to hold its shape throughout the day. Patch cargo pocket sits flat against the thigh, adding a utilitarian detail without bulk. Tie detail at the hem of each leg allows the fit to be cinched or left loose, giving you two distinct looks from one pair of shorts. Elasticated waistband sits comfortably at the natural waist, making these easy to pull on and wear all day without any stiffness. 100% cotton construction keeps things breathable and soft against the skin - the kind of piece you reach for on repeat through the warmer months. The wide, longline leg places these firmly in jort territory - longer than a classic cut but cropped enough to stay well clear of trouser proportions. That length works particularly well with a cropped jacket or oversized top layered on top, as seen here with a structured utility jacket. The tie hems are the detail worth noting: left loose, the leg opening drapes; pulled in, the whole silhouette shifts into something more intentional. Pair with chunky boots and a fitted long-sleeve underneath for a transitional-season look, or keep it simple with a vest and trainers for a casual weekend out. These are the kind of shorts that suit a market trip, a festival, or a low-key afternoon with friends - anywhere the dress code is relaxed but you still want the outfit to feel considered.
