Womens Shorts
A tight, well-edited womens shorts collection. Denim cut-offs, linen pull-ons, soft cotton shorts and a handful of sport and swim options from Rhythm, Sisstrevolution, Patagonia and Billabong. These are lifestyle shorts, the kind you pull on after a surf at Rest Bay to head to the pub, or throw in a bag for a week on the Gower. Fabrics that breathe, cuts that sit properly, and colours that are not trying too hard.

Fabrics that suit British summers
Wales in July is a funny one. Hot for two days, drizzling for three, windy by the weekend. The shorts in this collection cover all of it. Linen and cotton for the warm days, slightly heavier denim for evenings when the sun drops and you still want to sit outside at the pub. Most of these have a bit of stretch woven in, which sounds obvious but really does change how they feel after a long day walking the coast path or driving down to Pembrokeshire.
Brands we rate
Rhythm and Sisstrevolution bring the surf-adjacent lifestyle cuts, relaxed but not baggy. Patagonia are the pick for organic and recycled fabrics with a proper gusset and pockets you can actually use. Billabong sit between them with classic denim and pull-on styles. It is a smaller range than the mens side, but every pair has earned its spot on the rail.
