Contrast Arrow Detail Western Denim Shorts

Western detailing is what separates these from every other pair of denim shorts. Contrast arrow embroidery runs across the pockets in a lighter thread, so the stitching reads clearly against the coffee brown denim rather than disappearing into it. Brown instead of blue is the other good decision here, because it sits differently next to cream, black and tan than standard indigo does, and it stops the pair from looking like the default.

The fabric is 71% cotton, 27.5% polyester and 1.5% elastane, and the shorts are listed as no stretch, so expect the structured hold of a proper denim rather than a soft pull on knit. They are embroidered and pocketed. Sizing runs by number from 4 through 16, which gives you a closer match than letter sizing usually does. At a size 4 the waist measures 27 in with a 36.8 in hip and a 13.4 in bottom length, growing to a 34.8 in waist and a 44.7 in hip at 16, while the length climbs only to 14.9 in, so the leg stays short across the whole run.

Wear them with a plain white tee and sneakers and the embroidery does all the work. Boots and a denim shirt lean into the western thread on purpose, while a black tank and sandals pull the opposite way and keep it simple. The brown works with gold jewelry and a tan belt, and it takes a bold color on top better than blue denim usually manages.
