High Waist Denim Shorts — Distressed Raw Hem — Light Blue

How to measure

To provide accurate sizing for this garment, lay the shorts flat on a hard, level surface and measure as follows. Record each flat measurement and multiply by 2 where noted to get the full circumference.

1. Waist (flat → circumference): Measure straight across the top of the waistband from one side to the other. Multiply that number by 2 for the waist circumference.
2. Hips (flat → circumference): Measure across the fullest part of the seat/hip area (about 2–3" / 5–7 cm below the waistband). Multiply by 2 for the hip circumference.
3. Front rise: Measure from the top of the front waistband down to the crotch seam.
4. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the hem.
5. Outseam / Length: Measure from the top of the waistband straight down to the hem.
6. Thigh (flat → circumference): Measure across the leg about 1" / 2.5 cm below the crotch seam. Multiply by 2 for the thigh circumference.
7. Leg opening (flat → circumference): Measure across the hem; multiply by 2 for the leg opening circumference.

Tips: for stretchy denim, record both the relaxed and gently stretched measurements. When comparing to body measurements, measure your natural waist and fullest hip area and allow ease for comfort and styling preference.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect color and distressed details.
• Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
• Wash separately or with similar denim for the first few washes to prevent color transfer.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry to preserve the raw hem and reduce shrinkage. Avoid high heat tumble drying; if necessary, tumble dry low and remove while slightly damp.
• Iron inside out on medium heat if needed. Avoid ironing directly over distressing and hardware.
• For spot stains, blot with cold water and a gentle soap. For odor refresh, air out or steam instead of frequent washing.
• Trim any excessively long loose threads at the raw hem with scissors; use a fray-control product if you want to minimize further fraying.
• Store folded or hung by waistband; avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent fading.

Style Tips

• Casual day: Tuck in a white tee or tank and add low-top sneakers for an easy everyday look.
• Summer-ready: Pair with a lightweight linen shirt or cropped blouse and espadrilles or flat sandals.
• Night out: Dress up with a silk camisole, layered necklaces and heeled sandals or mules.
• Smart-casual: Add an oversized blazer and a slim belt; finish with loafers or block-heel sandals.
• Transition-to-fall: Wear over tights with ankle boots and a cozy knit or trench coat.
• Beach / festival: Combine with a bikini top or boho blouse, layered jewelry and ankle boots or strappy sandals.
• Proportion tip: Because these are high-waisted, pair with cropped or tucked-in tops to emphasize the waistline and create balanced proportions.
• Accessories: Try a braided or wide leather belt, straw or crossbody bag, and layered gold-tone jewelry to complete looks.
• Sizing advice: If you prefer a relaxed, slouchy fit, consider sizing up; if you like a more fitted high-waist look, choose your usual size and check waist/hip measurements.
