LONG SHORTS

LONG SHORTS FOR AN ELEGANT AND RELAXED WARDROBE

Long shorts are a stylish choice for those who want comfort and freedom of movement without compromising on a well-dressed look. The longer leg length creates a harmonious silhouette and offers a reassuring feel that many women prefer – in spring, summer and transitional seasons alike.

Whether you’re looking for long shorts for women for everyday wear, holidays or relaxed gatherings, they are a versatile alternative to both skirts and classic shorts. They work beautifully in a mature wardrobe and create a calm balance between femininity and ease. Long shorts can easily become a staple piece, as they can be styled across seasons and occasions.

KNEE-LENGTH SHORTS AND BERMUDA SHORTS WITH A FLATTERING FIT

Knee-length shorts – also known as Bermuda shorts – are defined by their flattering length, typically falling just above or around the knee. This length is ideal if you want extra coverage and a more sophisticated look.

In the selection you will find, among others:

• High-waisted shorts that highlight the waist and create beautiful proportions

• Straight styles for a classic and timeless look

• Slightly wider designs that fall softly around the thighs

• Knee-length shorts with an elastic waistband that combine comfort with a refined finish

For many, long shorts for women over 40 are an obvious choice, as they create a beautiful line over the hips and thighs and balance the upper and lower body. The right fit supports a relaxed yet thoughtful style and makes it easier to feel well-dressed every day.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT LONG SHORTS

When choosing long shorts, consider fit, fabric and purpose. Think about whether you prefer a more structured look or a softer silhouette, and how you primarily plan to wear them.

Consider for example:

• Whether the style is for work, holidays or leisure

• If you prefer a fixed waistband or elastic waist

• Which length you feel most comfortable in

• Whether you want a classic or more relaxed look

Fabric choice also matters. Cotton is breathable and comfortable for everyday wear, while linen is ideal for warm days when lightness and airiness are key. Viscose offers a soft drape, and styles with stretch ensure extra freedom of movement. Long shorts for summer holidays are especially popular, as they are easy to pack and simple to pair with different tops.

STYLING TIPS FOR EVERYDAY, HOLIDAYS AND SMARTER OCCASIONS

Long shorts are easy to integrate into your existing wardrobe and can be styled up or down depending on the occasion.

For a relaxed summer look, pair them with:

• A light cotton shirt and sandals

• A simple T-shirt and flats

• A feminine viscose top for a soft and elegant touch

For a more polished look, choose:

• A blazer and a simple top

• Classic colours such as navy, sand, white or olive

• Subtle accessories that support a clean overall expression

Elegant long shorts for everyday wear can, with a few adjustments, also work for dinner parties or informal workdays. It’s about creating balance in the proportions and letting fabrics and cuts work together.

STYLE LONG SHORTS IN SPRING AND TRANSITIONAL SEASONS

Long shorts are not just for summer. In spring, style them with light tights and ankle boots for a balanced and feminine look. Pair them with a fine knit, a classic shirt or a light jacket for a harmonious layered outfit.

In autumn, knee-length shorts and Bermuda shorts also work beautifully with tall boots and a blazer. The extra length makes them particularly suitable for transitional periods when you want flexibility in your wardrobe. Long shorts with tights allow you to extend the season and create new outfit combinations.
