Ten styles of women's shorts, across two distinct camps. On one side, wide-leg linen Poppy shorts in mocha brown and khaki green and Made in Italy Lula belted cotton-blend shorts in striped blue, pink, and stone. On the other, the stretch Magic Shorts range: the Paris plain pull-ons in navy, stone, and white, the frayed-hem stretch version, and the Pippa capri-style in light grey. Same idea as the Magic Trousers, just shorter.
Linen shorts suit a holiday mindset, they're for warm days in Fleet or warm evenings abroad, and they pack and wash without complaint. The Poppy wide-leg cut is relaxed through the hip and has enough volume that it works as well with a T-shirt as with a loose linen top. The Lula belted styles are slightly more structured: the woven cotton stripe and the self-belt give them more presence.
If comfort and ease are the priority, the Magic Shorts earn their name. The Paris plain versions in particular have become regulars in the summer wardrobe of women who already know and love the Magic Trousers. Same pull-on stretch waistband, easy to wear all day.
