Women's Shorts

Shorts for Women: Sports Shorts, Denim Shorts, Tailored + Cargo Shorts

Legs out weather? We’ve got you. Our women’s shorts are here to carry you through heatwaves, holidays and last-minute plans with minimal effort required.

Denim is forever, and we’re doing it every way. Think low waist denim shorts for a throwback feel, ripped denim shorts that add instant attitude, and grey denim shorts to switch up your usual blue rotation. Into longer cuts? Baggy shorts and jorts are leading the charge – relaxed, easy and made to style with tanks, baby tees or oversized shirts.

If comfort’s top of your list, boxer shorts bring that borrowed-from-the-boys energy, perfect for lounging or layering. Sport shorts keep it practical but cute, ready for park runs, pilates or just pretending you’ve got plans. Want something with pockets and presence? Cargo shorts are having their moment.

When you’re feeling bold, micro shorts are here to make a statement. Tiny, confident and not for the faint-hearted – just add boots or chunky trainers and go.

From chilled-out fits to head-turning cuts, these are the shorts you’ll be living in all season. Consider your summer line-up sorted.
