Product Information
Full details
These Paulo Due Smart Pleated Tailored Shorts are designed for adult women seeking comfortable and stylish knee-length shorts for warm weather. The key benefit is their blend of smart tailoring with a soft, slightly stretchy cotton fabric for all-day comfort, making them versatile for casual outings or light outdoor activities. A potential caveat is that the 'regular' fit may not suit all body types, and the inseam length might be longer than some prefer for 'shorts'. Key features include a mid-rise waist, a wide waistband with belt loops, a zip fly with a single button closure, two side pockets, and a tailored finish.
