Drawstring High Waist Denim Shorts with Pockets | Medium / 4 100100002690181

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For the most accurate fit, measure a similar pair of shorts that already fits you well, or measure your body. Always measure on a flat, smooth surface and record measurements in both cm and inches if needed.

Measuring the product (recommended)

• Waist (laid flat) — Lay the shorts flat and smooth the waistband. Measure straight across the top from side seam to side seam and multiply by 2. For a drawstring/elastic waistband, record both the unstretched measurement and the comfortably stretched measurement.
• Hip / Seat (laid flat) — Measure across the fullest part of the shorts (usually about 6–10 cm / 2–4" below the waistband) from side seam to side seam and multiply by 2.
• Front rise — Measure from the top of the front waistband down to the crotch seam.
• Back rise — Measure from the top of the back waistband down to the crotch seam.
• Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg to the hem.
• Outseam / Total length — Measure from the top of the waistband (at the side seam) straight down to the bottom hem.
• Thigh — Measure across the leg 5 cm (2") below the crotch seam from side to side and multiply by 2 for circumference.
• Leg opening / Hem — Measure across the hem from side to side and multiply by 2.

Measuring your body

• Waist — Wrap the tape around your natural waist (where you want the shorts to sit), keeping it comfortably snug but not tight.
• Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with feet together.
• If between sizes, consider the style: for a snug/high-waist fit choose the smaller size; for a relaxed look or if you plan to layer, choose the larger size. Allow 1–2 cm (≈0.5–1") tolerance for home measuring variations.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect color and hardware.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with like colors; avoid strong detergents and bleach.
• Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners which can break down elastane over time.
• For elastic/drawstring waistbands, fasten or tuck the drawstring before washing to prevent snagging.
• Remove promptly after wash, reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to dry in shade to minimize fading and shrinkage.
• If using a dryer, tumble dry low only; high heat can reduce stretch and damage fibers.
• Iron inside out on low heat if needed; avoid ironing directly on trims or hardware.
• Spot clean when possible and wash less frequently to preserve color and fabric life.

Style tips

• Casual day out: Pair with a tucked-in graphic tee, white sneakers and a crossbody bag for effortless everyday style.
• Beach-ready: Wear over your swimsuit or with a lightweight tank and slide sandals; add a straw hat for sun protection.
• Elevated summer look: Tuck in a silk cami or button-down, add a slim belt and heeled sandals for a night out.
• Layered cool-weather option: Combine with sheer tights, ankle boots and an oversized blazer or cozy cardigan.
• Festival vibes: Crop top, layered necklaces, chunky boots and a lightweight kimono create a fun, boho look.
• Pro tip: Use the drawstring to define the waist, or add a statement belt for a polished finish.
