Denim shorts that actually look like something — the striped metal button detail high waist design brings specific personality to a category that can easily read as generic. The vertical stripe detail in blue creates a visual elongating effect through the leg; the metal button fly and button-detail waistband read as quality construction; and the 72% cotton blend gives the denim the right weight and drape for warm weather without being uncomfortably heavy. High waist, clean line, strong detail.

Why You'll Love It

  • High waist construction — elongates the leg and defines the waist, the most flattering denim shorts cut
  • Stripe detail — vertical stripe in the denim creates visual elongation through the thigh
  • Metal button fly and waistband detail — quality hardware that elevates beyond basic shorts
  • 72% Cotton, 26% Polyester, 2% Elastane — denim weight with a touch of stretch for comfort
  • Clean, straight leg — works with everything from tucked blouses to oversized tees
  • Available in UK sizes 8–20 (US 4–12) — consistent fit across a wide size range

Fabric & Care

72% Cotton, 26% Polyester, 2% Elastane. Light stretch. Machine wash cold inside out; hang dry; do not bleach. The stripe detail is woven into the denim rather than printed — it will not fade with washing.

How to Style It

As Who What Wear UK and Vogue UK consistently note, high-waist denim shorts are one of the most versatile summer bottoms in women's wardrobes. Three formulas: tucked linen shirt + espadrilles for a classic summer look; oversized tee half-tucked + trainers for the casual version; quality blouse + block-heeled sandals for smart-casual. Browse our blouses and shirts collection for tops that pair perfectly and women's tops for casual options.

How does the sizing run for these denim shorts?

Sized in US sizing (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) which corresponds to UK 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 respectively. The high waist construction means the waist measurement is the most important fit point — check the size chart and measure your natural waist. The 2% elastane provides a small amount of give through the waist and hip.

What length are these shorts?

Mid-thigh length — the hem sits approximately 3–4 inches above the knee on most figures. The high waist means the overall leg exposure is similar to knee-length shorts but with a more elongated, leg-lengthening visual effect.

Can I wear these denim shorts to work?

In most UK offices, shorts are not appropriate workwear regardless of styling. In very casual creative environments where shorts are accepted, these high-waist denim shorts with a quality tucked blouse and loafers could pass a smart-casual shorts dress code. For most UK workplaces, reserve these for weekend wear.

What tops look best with high waist denim shorts?

Cropped or tucked-in tops are the most proportionally flattering — they allow the high waist to read clearly rather than being hidden under untucked fabric. Fitted T-shirts half-tucked, quality blouses tucked in, and crop tops all work well. Very long tops worn fully untucked over high-waist shorts can obscure the waist definition that makes this style flattering.

Are these shorts suitable for a holiday?

Yes — the stripe detail and metal button hardware give them a more polished quality than plain cut-off denim shorts, making them appropriate for holiday activities that range from beach to casual restaurant. The cotton-blend fabric is comfortable in warm weather and packs well for travel.
