Striped Trim Drawstring Shorts

These are the shorts that quietly become the most worn thing you own. A drawstring waist, real pockets and a stripe of contrast trim down the side is not a complicated idea, but it is the right one. They are comfortable enough to lounge in and tidy enough to leave the house in, which is the whole point.

The fabric is a 65% rayon, 30% polyester and 5% spandex blend, which gives them a soft fluid hand rather than the stiffness of a plain cotton short. The drawstring lets you set the waist exactly where you want it and adjust it through the day. Pockets are there and they are useful. Waist measures about 26.8 inches at size S and 37 inches at size 2XL, with hip running from 41.3 to 51.6 inches. Bottom length runs roughly 14.6 to 16.1 inches across the range, so the hem lands around mid thigh.

Wear them with a fitted tank and slides for the most comfortable version of a summer day. A plain white tee tucked in at the front keeps the proportions neat. A loose linen shirt worn open makes them look considered on holiday, and a cropped sweatshirt pairs well when the evening cools. Sneakers make them a walking short. They come in gray, black, gray and white, and navy, sizes S through 2XL.
