FAQs
Does the elastic waist look like a waistband?
The elastic waist is designed to look like a proper waistband from the outside while providing the comfort and flexibility of an elastic interior. It doesn't have an exposed elastic band appearance.
Are these shorts true to UK sizing?
The elastic waist provides flexibility across sizes. Check your hip measurement against the size guide below as this will be the determining factor for fit. The elastic waist accommodates a range of waist sizes within each size.
What is the ruffle trim detail like?
The ruffle trim is a gathered, slightly flounced edge at the hem of the shorts — a softer, more decorative alternative to a plain hemline. It adds movement when you walk and a boho feminine quality to the overall look.
Are these shorts suitable for a beach holiday?
Yes — the lightweight fabric, elastic waist and feminine styling make these ideal for beach holidays. They work worn directly over swimwear with sandals or as casual daytime shorts throughout the day.
What tops work best with stripe ruffle shorts?
Simple, clean tops work best — a white fitted cami, a plain ribbed tank, a tie-neck blouse or an off-shoulder top. The stripe and ruffle provide all the pattern and detail the outfit needs; the top should complement rather than compete.
