Denim Shorts

Grey denim shorts in pure cotton, cut for a warm-weather wardrobe that leans casual without looking sloppy. The grey wash is a softer alternative to classic blue denim, so they slot into more outfits for women through the summer.

When the temperature climbs, you want shorts you can throw on and forget about. These are cotton, so they breathe and stay comfortable whether you're at the beach, walking around town or at a garden party.

The grey tone is the real reason to reach for these over a standard blue pair: it reads a little more polished and pairs with almost anything already in your rotation.

How to wear them

• With a plain white tee and trainers for an easy daytime look
• With a light linen shirt and sandals when you want something more put-together
• Layer an oversized blazer over the shoulders once the sun goes down
