Black Paperbag Waist Denim Shorts with Rolled Hem — Product Details & Care
How to measure (garment and body)
For the most accurate fit, measure the actual garment laid flat on a hard surface. Smooth wrinkles but do not stretch elastic areas. All "flat" widths should be multiplied by 2 to get full circumference. 1 in = 2.54 cm.
- Prepare: Lay the shorts flat, fasten any closures and smooth fabric without stretching. For inseam and hem measurements, roll the hem down flat if needed.
- Waist (laid flat): Measure across the top of the waistband from edge to edge. For a paperbag/elastic waist measure both relaxed (unstretched) and stretched so customers know the range.
- Front rise: From the crotch seam (where the inseams meet) straight up to the top of the front waistband.
- Back rise: From the crotch seam straight up to the top of the back waistband (useful for high-rise fits).
- Inseam: From the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the hem edge (measure with the rolled hem flattened if the product is presented rolled).
- Hip: Measure across the shorts at about 2.5–3 cm (1 in) below the crotch seam where the leg is fullest—multiply by 2 for circumference.
- Thigh: Measure across the thigh 2.5–5 cm (1–2 in) below the crotch seam—multiply by 2 for circumference.
- Hem opening: Measure across the bottom of one leg (rolled hem flattened) to indicate how loose the leg is.
- Side length: From the top of the waistband down the outside side seam to the hem.
How to measure your body: Use a flexible tape measure. For waist, measure at the natural waistline (for these shorts the high-paperbag position). For hips, measure at the fullest part of the hips. Measure snugly but not tight.
| Measurement | Example (Size S) — flat | Converted | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waist (relaxed, flat) | 33 cm | 13 in (circ. ≈ 66 cm / 26 in) | Measure unstretched; multiply flat width by 2 |
| Waist (stretched, flat) | 42 cm | 16.5 in (circ. ≈ 84 cm / 33 in) | Elastic-paperbag can stretch—show range |
| Front rise | 28 cm | 11 in | High-rise paperbag fit |
| Inseam (rolled hem flattened) | 6.5 cm | 2.6 in | Short, above-mid-thigh length |
| Hip (flat) | 45 cm | 17.7 in (circ. ≈ 90 cm / 35.4 in) | Measure 1–2 in below crotch seam |
| Hem opening (flat) | 28 cm | 11 in | Shows leg room at the hem |

Materials & construction
Typical composition and construction details for this style:
- Main fabric: Midweight black denim — commonly a cotton-rich twill with a small percentage of elastane for comfort and recovery (example: 98% cotton, 2% elastane). Some batches may be 100% cotton for a more rigid finish. Check the garment tag for exact fiber content.
- Trim & hardware: Metal button and zipper, belt loops, rivets (if present) and stitched rolled hem. Pocket bags usually cotton or cotton blend.
- Finish: Black wash or garment-dyed finish. Black denim may lighten slightly over repeated washes and can transfer dye when new.
- Performance: Breathable, structured with comfortable give if elastane is included. Paperbag waist uses elastic or casing to create the gathered top and provides a cinched silhouette.
Always refer to the sewn-in care and composition label for the definitive material information for your pair.
Model details (photography reference)
For reference, the model shown wearing these shorts:
- Height: 5'9" (175 cm)
- Wearing size: S (approx. UK 8 / US 4)
- Model measurements (example): Bust 32" (81 cm) • Waist 24" (61 cm) • Hips 34" (86 cm)
Use these as a guide when choosing size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit at the waist and hip—paperbag waists allow some adjustability due to cinching.
Care guide — keep it lovely longer
Follow these steps to protect the fabric, maintain color and preserve the shape of the paperbag waist and rolled hem.
- Wash: Turn shorts inside out and machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like dark colors. Wash separately or with similar darks for the first few washes to avoid dye transfer.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent formulated for darks; avoid bleach or strong whitening agents.
- Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Avoid high-heat tumble drying which can shrink cotton and damage elastane.
- Ironing: If needed, iron inside out on low heat. Avoid ironing elasticized waist directly with high heat; instead reshape with hands while damp.
- Spot cleaning: For small stains, spot clean with a gentle detergent and cold water. Avoid vigorous scrubbing on finished black surfaces to prevent color loss.
- Storage: Fold and store in a drawer or shelf rather than hanging by the waistband long-term, to avoid stretching.
- Extra tips: Avoid fabric softeners (they can reduce elastane performance) and remove promptly from the wash to minimize creasing. If color transfer occurs, rewash with a color-catcher sheet.
Style tips
How to make these black paperbag-waist denim shorts work in different looks:
- Casual daytime: Tuck a soft cotton tee or tank into the paperbag waist, add white sneakers and a crossbody bag for effortless everyday wear.
- Summer-ready: Pair with a cropped linen cami or a bodysuit and flat sandals. Add sunglasses and a straw hat for beach vibes.
- Smart casual: Tuck in a lightweight blouse and throw on an unstructured blazer; finish with mules or low block heels for a polished finish.
- Edgy/urban: Wear with an oversized band tee tied at the waist, chunky sneakers or ankle boots and layered chains.
- Transitional weather: Layer with a fitted knit or a cropped sweater and ankle boots; add tights for cooler days.
- Accessories: A slim belt can accentuate the paperbag cinch, delicate necklaces balance the volume at the waist, and statement earrings elevate evening looks.
- Color & proportion tips: Because the shorts cinch the waist and add volume at the top, balance with a fitted or cropped top. For a longer-leg effect, wear with a slightly higher heel or nude-toned sandals.
Black denim is highly versatile — try monochrome looks, contrast with bright colors, or soften with natural linen and tan leather accessories.
