High Waist Paperbag Shorts With Patch Pockets

A softly gathered elastic waist and slim self tie give these shorts their easy paperbag shape, cinching in gently without any stiff hardware. The airy, lightly textured weave has a cool, dry hand for hot afternoons, and the loose cut skims rather than clings through the hip. Two generous patch pockets sit at the front for a phone and keys, while neat turn up hems land mid thigh. Eight shades cover soft neutrals, bright citrus tones and playful pinks, so there is one for every mood. They look just as good with a plain tee as with a swimsuit and sandals.
