DL1961 Isabel Short

Britt's original note on these was basically perfect: 'I will be living in these all summer.' We get it. The Isabel is relaxed through the hip and thigh with a 2.5-inch inseam, giving white denim that unfussy, broken-in proportion that works with everything from an oversized linen shirt to a fitted tank.

The clean white wash, tonal stitching, and finished hem keep the look polished rather than beach-cutoff casual. This is the short you reach for when you want the ease of denim but need the outfit to feel a little more grown up.

• Relaxed through the hip and thigh
• 2.5-inch inseam
• Clean white denim with tonal stitching
• Silver hardware and clean hem

The Cove Edit: White shorts are everywhere. The reason to choose these is the proportion.
