Velvet Ruched Lace Trim Shorts in Black

Velvet is a fabric with a memory. It catches light along the pile, goes darker as it turns, and gives even a very simple pair of shorts a sense of occasion that cotton never will. These Elowen shorts take that and add ruching through the body and lace at the trim, which is a lot of texture packed into a small garment.

The material is 100% Polyester. The lace detail sits at the trim and the ruching gathers the fabric so it falls in soft folds rather than lying flat. These are cut short. The inseam runs from 3.1 inches at S to 3.9 inches at 2XL, with a bottom length of 13.4 inches to 15 inches across the range, so they sit high on the thigh. That is worth knowing before you order rather than after.

Black velvet is a useful thing to own. These work as a going out short with sheer tights, ankle boots and an oversized blazer, which is a whole outfit built in about a minute. They work just as well the other way, worn at home with an old knit and bare feet, because velvet is quietly one of the most comfortable things you can put on. The lace trim means they also sit happily in the lingerie and loungewear category if that is how you want to use them. Silver jewelry and a sheer black tight keep it cool and sharp. Gold and a cream knit warms the whole thing up.
