Product Type: Shorts

Checkered drawstring shorts with an elastic waist, real pockets and a curved, piped hem: these are the shorts that make a plain tee look like an outfit. They come in a pink check, hot pink squares on light pink, and in a crisp black and white check, both in a stretch knit that feels as easy as loungewear.

  • Curved, piped hem. The hem rises at the sides, which frees your stride and makes legs look longer.
  • Elastic plus a drawstring. The band does the holding, the cord does the fine adjustment.
  • Two checks. Pink is playful and summery; black and white is graphic and goes with every top you own.

Drawstring Shorts With a Curved Hem

Drawstring shorts usually end in a straight line across the thigh. These curve upward at each side seam, the shape borrowed from running shorts, and a thin contrast piping traces the edge. A curved hem shows a little more leg at the side and less at the front, which reads longer and more flattering than a flat cut while keeping coverage where you sit. It also means nothing pulls when you climb stairs or take a big step.

Elastic Waist Shorts for Real Life

Elastic waist shorts win on comfort: no button digging in after lunch, no zip to fight. With 5% elastane running through the polyester knit, the whole short gives a little, not only the waistband. Pull the drawstring snug for a defined waist under a tucked top, or leave it loose when the shorts sit under a longer tee.

Pink Check and Black Check

The pink check looks sweetest with a white crop top, as the photos show, and gets louder with a hot pink tank that picks out the darker squares. The black and white check is the more adaptable pair: a black tee, a white tank, a denim shirt knotted at the waist, all of them work. Keep the top solid, since a second pattern next to a check usually turns busy.

Sizes run S to XL in women's numbers: S is a 4 to 6, M an 8 to 10, L a 12 to 14 and XL a 16 to 18. The elastic waist forgives a lot, so choose by the hips when you sit between two sizes.

Checked Knit Shorts Out and About

Are knit shorts okay to wear outside the house? Yes. With a tucked or cropped top and clean sneakers, knit shorts read as casual daywear, not pajamas, and the piping on the hem makes them look finished.

Do checkered shorts make thighs look bigger? A small, even check like this reads as texture rather than a bold pattern, so it adds little visual width. The curved side hem also helps by breaking the horizontal line.

Will the piping pucker in the wash? Wash cool and dry on low. Piping is a narrow strip sewn along the edge, and high heat is what makes it draw up and ripple.
