Vintage High-Rise Distressed Jean Shorts
Retro spirit, modern edge, and made for summer.
The Vintage High-Rise Distressed Jean Shorts are inspired by the iconic 80s denim aesthetic and updated for the woman who wears her style with confidence. The high-rise fit is flattering and figure-defining, while the classic five-pocket construction keeps the look timeless and functional. Distressing details and a raw hem add a lived-in, effortlessly cool edge that makes these shorts feel authentic rather than overdone. Side slits and ridge fabric provide ease of movement and a comfortable, relaxed fit that is perfect for warm weather days from morning to night.
What Makes It Special
It is the combination of the high-rise silhouette, the distressing detail, and the raw hem that gives these shorts their distinctive vintage character. Inspired by the 80s Denim Collection, they carry that authentic retro energy while feeling completely current and wearable. The 100% cotton fabric is sturdy, breathable, and gets better with every wear, developing that perfect broken-in quality that only real denim can deliver. The single button closure, front zip, and belt loops keep the construction clean and classic, while the side slits add a subtle detail that makes the fit more comfortable and the silhouette more flattering. Available in sizes 1 through 13 for an inclusive fit.
