Full details
This guide is for adult women seeking a comfortable and stylish pair of denim shorts with a modern, relaxed fit. The key benefit is the easy-to-wear, classic vibe combined with a flattering high-waisted design. A potential caveat is that the "slightly looser fit on the thighs" might not suit those preferring a very slim silhouette. These shorts feature a high waist, a wider thigh cut, and a button fly, inspired by the classic Carol jeans, offering a versatile addition to a casual wardrobe.

FAQs
What material are these shorts made of?
These shorts are made primarily of denim. Specific material composition may vary slightly but is designed for a classic denim feel and durability.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Pay attention to waist and hip measurements for the best fit, considering the high-waist design.
Are these shorts stretchy?
While the denim provides some natural give, these shorts are not designed with significant stretch. The fit is intended to be regular with a relaxed thigh, rather than form-fitting due to elasticity.
Can I wear these for more formal casual occasions?
The grey denim wash and classic cut make them suitable for smart-casual events. Pair them with a smart top, sandals or loafers, and simple jewelry for a polished look.
How should I care for the grey color?
To preserve the grey color, wash the shorts in cold water, inside-out, with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can cause fading.
What is the difference between this and the blue version?
The primary difference is the color. Both versions share the same high-waist, wider-thigh design inspired by the classic Carol jeans. Material composition might also vary slightly between colorways.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight after washing
Denim can shrink. Try gently stretching the waistband and thigh area while the shorts are damp. If they consistently feel too tight, consider ordering a size up next time, especially if you prefer a looser fit.
Color fades unevenly
This can happen with denim. Ensure you are washing inside-out in cold water with like colors and a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
Button fly is difficult to fasten
Ensure all buttons are properly aligned before fastening. Sometimes, a bit of 'breaking in' is required for new button fly closures.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cold, inside-out, with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry low or hang dry for best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity. Avoid high heat drying.
