{"product_id":"womens-checkered-drawstring-shorts","title":"Women's Checkered Drawstring Shorts with Pockets","description":"\u003cp\u003eCheckered 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurved, piped hem.\u003c\/strong\u003e The hem rises at the sides, which frees your stride and makes legs look longer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElastic plus a drawstring.\u003c\/strong\u003e The band does the holding, the cord does the fine adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo checks.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink is playful and summery; black and white is graphic and goes with every top you own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrawstring Shorts With a Curved Hem\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawstring 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. \u003cstrong\u003eA curved hem shows a little more leg at the side and less at the front\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElastic Waist Shorts for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElastic 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePink Check and Black Check\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. \u003cstrong\u003eKeep the top solid\u003c\/strong\u003e, since a second pattern next to a check usually turns busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChecked Knit Shorts Out and About\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre knit shorts okay to wear outside the house?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo checkered shorts make thighs look bigger?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the piping pucker in the wash?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Threaded Pear","offers":[{"title":"Rose \/ S - 4\/6","offer_id":67600320626989,"sku":"LC731625-P620-S","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Rose \/ M - 8\/10","offer_id":67600324493613,"sku":"LC731625-P620-M","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rose \/ L - 12\/14","offer_id":67600324526381,"sku":"LC731625-P620-L","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Rose \/ XL - 16\/18","offer_id":67600324559149,"sku":"LC731625-P620-XL","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ S - 4\/6","offer_id":67600324591917,"sku":"LC731625-P220-S","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ M - 8\/10","offer_id":67600324624685,"sku":"LC731625-P220-M","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ L - 12\/14","offer_id":67600324657453,"sku":"LC731625-P220-L","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black \/ XL - 16\/18","offer_id":67600324690221,"sku":"LC731625-P220-XL","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/womens-checkered-drawstring-shorts-1.jpg?v=1791038272","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/womens-checkered-drawstring-shorts","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
