Story

I usually don't design both shorts and pants within one collection, but this fun polka-dot fabric was just begging to be made into a pair of vintage-inspired shorts, so I made a last-minute addition. These shorts have the same cut as FW18's Aurora Pants, but instead of a wide leg they have a not-too-short, not-too-long 3.5" inseam. The high rise and semi-relaxed fit through the hips give the Aurora Shorts a pinup vibe that's played up perfectly with a knotted top.

Design Notes

• Shell: 100% linen
• Lining: 100% organic cotton
• Designed, cut, and sewn in NYC
• High-waisted shorts with semi-relaxed fit through hips
• Side zipper and button closure
• Slash pockets in front, no pockets in back
• Fully lined
• 12" rise, 3.5" inseam
• Hand wash cold, line dry, warm iron as needed (learn more about garment care here)

Fabric

These shorts are made of flax linen fabric woven in Japan. Crisp and lightweight with a fine weave, it is a true navy blue with light grey dots scattered about.

The shorts are lined with GOTS-certified organic cotton voile milled in India. Lightweight and airy, the lining creates a soft, breathable layer against your skin.

Fit

Take a look at our Size Guide to find your size.

Use both your waist and hip measurements when determining your size in the Aurora Shorts. If you fall in between sizes, I recommend sizing up.
