Green Striped Pleated Shorts

The blend is 65% cotton and 35% polyester. The cotton content lets air move through the fabric so you stay cooler on warm days, while the polyester keeps the shorts holding their shape after repeated washes. You won't get the heavy, limp feel of a 100% cotton short, and you won't get the synthetic stuffiness of a full poly fabric either. It's a practical balance for a summer short you'll actually reach for.

The front pleats add room through the hip and thigh, giving the shorts a relaxed silhouette that doesn't pull or pinch. The back waistband is elasticated, so there's no rigid waistband digging in when you sit down. The overall effect is a straight fit that looks put-together without feeling restrictive. The model in the product photos wears size S for reference.

Yes. These have inseam pockets, which sit along the side seams rather than on the surface of the fabric. That placement keeps the front of the shorts looking clean while still giving you a functional pocket for your phone or a card. Inseam pockets on women's shorts aren't a given, so it's worth knowing these are full-depth, usable pockets.

The length is 14.5 inches, which puts them in mini-to-mid short territory. That length works well for weekend plans, beach or holiday trips, and warm-weather travel days when you want something easy to move in. The green and white stripe print and the relaxed chino cut also make them a natural pairing for a linen shirt or a co-ord top if you want a more complete look.

These shorts come in XS, S, M, L, XL, and XXL. The full six-size range means you can self-select your fit without guessing whether your size is even in stock. If you're between sizes, the elasticated back waistband gives a little extra room, so sizing up is rarely necessary.

Machine wash is fine. The cotton-poly blend holds up well in a regular machine cycle. To keep the green stripe colour looking sharp for longer, washing in cold water and turning the shorts inside out before washing helps.
