the Julie is the high-summer staple that actually holds its own. made from signature crispy cotton poplin, these shorts have a fresh, structured feel that keeps them from looking like pajamas. pair them with the avalon button down, blondie tank or lisa tee.

why we love it: it’s the substance of the fabric that wins us over. most cotton shorts lose their shape the second you sit down, but the julie stays crisp and holds its silhouette. we gave it a smocked elastic waistband for total comfort. whether you’re grabbing these for a beach-to-lunch transition, or just heading out for a coffee run, they make it look like you put a lot of thought into your outfit when you really just threw them on.

fit: sits at the natural waistline. true to size.
