Washed Raw Hem Denim Shorts

How to measure

To pick the best size, measure the garment laid flat and/or measure your body. For online shopping we recommend measuring a similar pair you already own and comparing the flat measurements to the product measurements.

Measuring the garment (lay flat)

1. Waist (flat): Button/zip the shorts, lay them flat and smooth. Measure straight across the top edge from left seam to right seam. Double this number to get the waist circumference. (Example: 15" flat = 30" waist.)
2. Hips: Measure straight across about 1"–2" (2.5–5 cm) below the crotch seam at the fullest part of the shorts. Double for hip circumference.
3. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband.
4. Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the back waistband (usually longer than front rise).
5. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the hem.
6. Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband to the hem along the outside seam.
7. Thigh: Measure across the leg about 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam and double to get thigh circumference.
8. Leg opening (hem): Measure straight across the hem and double for hem circumference. For raw hems, measure where the fabric is stable (just above loose frays).

Measuring your body

1. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist) keeping the tape comfortably snug.
2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks with feet together.
3. Inseam: Measure from the top of your inner thigh (crotch) down to where you want the shorts to finish.

Tips: 1 inch = 2.54 cm. For rigid (non‑stretch) denim allow ~2"–3" (5–8 cm) of ease for comfort; for stretch denim allow ~1"–2" (2.5–5 cm). If between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit.

Materials & construction

These shorts feature a washed denim with a raw, intentionally frayed hem. Typical material and construction notes:

• Main fabric: Midweight denim — commonly 100% cotton for a traditional rigid feel, or a cotton blend such as 98% cotton / 2% elastane for slight stretch and recovery. Always check the product tag for exact fiber content.
• Finish: Stone/enzyme or pigment wash for a softened hand and lived‑in color; raw hem cut and left unfinished for fray detail.
• Trim & hardware: Metal button and zip fly, rivets at stress points, contrast topstitching; pocket bags usually lightweight cotton.
• Care considerations: Dyed denim can transfer—wash separately or with similar colors for the first few washes.

Model & fit reference

Shown on a model for fit reference:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model is wearing: Size S
• Fit on model: Mid‑rise; hits the upper thigh (inseam approx. 3" / 7.5 cm) and shows the intended raw‑hem fray. For more coverage or a looser leg, consider sizing up or selecting a longer inseam option.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect color, hardware and the raw hem.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; use mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
• Wash separately or with darks for the first few washes to minimize dye transfer.
• Air dry by hanging or laying flat to preserve shape and minimize additional fraying. If you must tumble dry, use low heat and remove promptly.
• Trim any long loose threads at the raw hem carefully with scissors rather than pulling to control fraying.
• To stop localized fraying, apply a tiny amount of fabric glue or a fray‑stop product to the inside edge—test in an inconspicuous area first.
• Iron inside out on medium heat if needed; avoid direct heat on heavy hardware and use caution near the raw hem.
• Spot clean where possible to reduce frequency of full washes and preserve the washed finish.

Style tips

• Casual everyday: Tuck in a relaxed tee, add white sneakers and a crossbody bag for an effortless look.
• Elevated casual: Pair with a linen or cotton button‑down (knot at the waist), leather slides and a simple belt.
• Night out: Go for a fitted bodysuit or silk cami, layered necklaces and heeled sandals to balance the raw edge.
• Beach-ready: Wear over your swimsuit with a wide‑brim hat and flat sandals—raw hem reads relaxed and summery.
• Edgy vibe: Pair with a graphic tee and ankle boots or chunky sandals; throw on a leather jacket for contrast.
• Accessories: Add a statement belt to define the waist, cuff the hem once for a shorter look, or style with socks and retro sneakers for a playful twist.
• Fit styling: High‑waisted tops and cropped silhouettes emphasize the waist; if you have fuller thighs, consider sizing up or choosing a longer inseam for extra room.
