Women's shorts, from the city to the trail

A pair of shorts for every occasion

The shorts are the standout piece of summer, but they aren’t worn the same way in the city, on the beach, or while hiking. In the city, high-waisted denim or twill shorts go well with a shirt or a top. At the beach, light shorts are worn over a swimsuit. For hiking, quick-dry technical shorts support your efforts. The length, from mini shorts to bermuda shorts that stop above the knee, also changes the style.

Skirts

Skirts and shorts are also available in different styles:

• Short skirts.
• Long skirts.

All skirts and all shorts are gathered on the skirts and shorts page.

Denim, twill and chino

Denim shorts, like the Guess high-waisted Mom shorts, the Le Temps des Cerises, or the JJXX, are the most versatile: they go with everything. Organic cotton twill shorts, like the various colours from Colorful Standard, a brand from Copenhagen, are more structured and dress up easily. Chino shorts, such as the Aigle Coolmax, with breathable fabric, combine style and freshness. The bermuda, like the Payper Combat, which is longer, covers more of the thighs. The KAFFE Curve range caters to larger sizes.

Sport, beach and hiking

For hiking, the Helly Hansen QD shorts, which dry quickly, and Regatta, made from stretchy technical fabric, support your efforts and dry quickly after a downpour. The Roxy Oceanside, from the women's surf brand, is made for the beach. The Hummel, Project X Paris, and 47 Brand shorts, made of fleece or mesh, focus on sportswear comfort, and the Blaklader, which is robust, withstands tough work. You should choose your shorts based on your waist size and check the inseam length for walking comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length of shorts suits your body shape?

Short shorts show off the legs and suit slim silhouettes; bermuda shorts, stopping above the knee, cover more and are easy to style. A high waist lengthens the legs in all cases.

How to wear high-waisted shorts?

Tuck in a top, a knotted shirt or a bodysuit to accentuate the waist. The Guess Mom high-waisted shorts can be paired with both sandals and white trainers.

What shorts to choose for hiking?

Technical shorts made of lightweight fabric that dries quickly and allows your legs to move freely, with zippered pockets for small items. The Helly Hansen and Regatta models are suitable for walking in warm weather.

Denim or twill shorts, what’s the difference?

Denim is thicker and stiffer, softening over washes and suitable for everyday wear. Twill, a lighter and softer cotton fabric, falls better and gives a smarter look.

How to prevent denim shorts from stretching out?

Wash them inside out, in cold water, and air dry instead of using a tumble dryer. Stretch denim tends to loosen throughout the day: choose a pair that fits well when trying them on.
