You pull on the high-waisted denim shorts on a warm morning, and the faded blue lands at your natural waist while the raw frayed hem flares wide at the mid-thigh.

The wash is a light retro blue, softened across the front and around the pockets the way a well-worn pair fades over a summer. From the high waist the cut opens into an A-line leg that flares out toward the hem and stops high on the thigh, so these read as a proper short rather than a longer bermuda.

This is cotton denim woven firm with no stretch, so it holds its A-line shape instead of clinging. A button and zip fly close the high waist, belt loops circle the top, and five pockets sit front and back. The hem is left as a raw frayed edge, the two back patch pockets carry the same rough-edge trim, and a stitched leather heritage patch sits at the back waist. The one color offered is Blue, in sizes S through 5XL.

Key Benefits

• High-waisted fit The waistband sits at your natural waist and stays put, lengthening the leg line under a cropped top or a tucked shirt.
• Mid-thigh A-line cut The legs flare wide from the hip and stop high on the thigh, an airy short that keeps you cool through summer heat.
• Raw-edge finishing The hem and both back pockets are left frayed on purpose, giving the denim a lived-in, slightly edgy look rather than a plain clean finish.
• Rigid cotton denim A firm non-stretch weave holds the flared A-line shape all day instead of stretching out at the seat.
• Five-pocket styling Two front pockets, two back patch pockets and a button zip fly with belt loops keep the classic denim layout you already know how to wear.

Best for: warm-weather days when you want a short, breezy denim with an edgy raw-edge finish, worn with sneakers, sandals or a cropped top.

Why It Works

Plenty of denim shorts sit either plain and stiff or so short they lose the denim structure. This pair keeps the high waist and firm cotton denim of a real jean, then flares the leg into an A-line and finishes the hem and pockets raw, so it stays cool and casual while still holding a clean, structured line.

How It Fits Your Routine

Pull them on with a fitted tank or a cropped tee on a hot afternoon, and the high waist keeps the look tucked and tidy while the A-line leg lets the air move around the thigh.

As the evening cools, layer a loose shirt over the top and swap sneakers for ankle boots. The raw frayed hem and faded wash keep the look casual and a little edgy from a midday walk into a relaxed dinner.

Because the denim is rigid and non-stretch, pick your usual denim size for a firm, structured fit through the waist and hip.

FAQ

How long are these shorts? They are a mid-thigh cut, with the A-line legs flaring out and stopping high on the thigh rather than at the knee.

Do they stretch? No. The denim is a rigid cotton weave with no elastane, so choose your usual denim size for a firm, structured fit.

Are the frayed edges a defect? No. The raw hem and rough-edge back pockets are an intentional design detail, not damage, so the fraying is meant to stay as it is.
