These don’t. The high waist, pleats, and rolled-up hem give the shorts the structure of dress pants — just in a short length. Paired with a blouse, they work for a restaurant; with a tank top underneath, they’re perfect for the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes these shorts different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh waist as a proportion tool:\u003c\/strong\u003e The waistband sits at the natural waist — the narrowest part of the torso. Visually, the leg starts where the waistband ends, which lengthens the leg line. Low-rise shorts cut the leg line at the hips and shorten the silhouette.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePleats for a structured fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e The front pleats add volume over the thighs without pulling tight across the hips. The effect: a straight silhouette from the front, room to move when sitting or crouching — no pulling, no digging in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical stripes as a lengthening axis:\u003c\/strong\u003e The stripes guide the eye from the waist to the hem in a continuous line. The eye follows the vertical — making the leg area look slimmer and longer than it actually is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRolled-up hem as a design anchor:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cuff is sewn in, not just rolled — it won’t come undone, keeps the hem edge in shape, and gives the shorts a defined finish instead of a soft fade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReal side pockets instead of decorative ones:\u003c\/strong\u003e The slanted side pockets are deep enough for a smartphone, keys, or your hand — and they don’t pull the fabric because they’re integrated into the side seam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButton plus belt loops:\u003c\/strong\u003e The front button closure is complemented by five belt loops — a slim leather belt further defines the waist without stressing the waistband.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s important when wearing and caring for them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common concern with pleated shorts: that the pleats will flatten after washing and the structured fit will be lost. The trick is in drying. Machine wash inside out at 30 degrees, not hot — hot water loosens the pressed pleats. Take them out of the drum immediately after spinning, gently reshape the pleats at the waistband, and air dry upside down on a pants hanger so the pleats fall naturally under the shorts’ own weight. No tumble drying — heat flattens the pleat edges. When ironing, work on the inside and reshape the pleats from the inside with the tip of the iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade for women who want to wear shorts in summer without switching to casual mode: for outdoor appointments with indoor meetings, for restaurant visits at 30 degrees, for travel with mix-and-match capsule luggage, and for days when the weather calls for shorts but the occasion demands more than a T-shirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor women who know that short doesn’t have to mean informal.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hike \u0026 Haven","offers":[{"title":"Blue \/ XS","offer_id":53087311921495,"sku":"DAM-BLAU-X38H42","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ S","offer_id":53087311954263,"sku":"-BLAU-J23H39","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ M","offer_id":53087311987031,"sku":"-BLAU-F01C05","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ L","offer_id":53087312019799,"sku":"-BLAU-I86C96","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ XL","offer_id":53087312052567,"sku":"-BLAU-V18C26","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ 2XL","offer_id":53087312085335,"sku":"-BLAU-J07Q96","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ XS","offer_id":53087312118103,"sku":"-ROSA-U96L47","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ S","offer_id":53087312150871,"sku":"-ROSA-D32Z36","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ M","offer_id":53087312183639,"sku":"-ROSA-Q37H17","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ L","offer_id":53087312216407,"sku":"-ROSA-Q97U49","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ XL","offer_id":53087312249175,"sku":"-ROSA-T61S61","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pink \/ 2XL","offer_id":53087312281943,"sku":"-ROSA-S04X92","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XS","offer_id":53087312314711,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-S51V20","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":53087312347479,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-A74V72","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":53087312380247,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-I28H23","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":53087312413015,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-H32J42","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":53087312445783,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-L79H51","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 2XL","offer_id":53087312478551,"sku":"-SCHWARZ-L67G57","price":44.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/1207\/3559\/files\/GoogleProductPics_4_a996777c-3ce1-4f04-8b24-a0d441beb11a.png?v=1774349582","url":"https:\/\/hikeandhaven.com\/en-gb\/products\/damen-hochbund-shorts-mit-streifenmuster-gerader-schnitt-mit-bundfalten-und-aufgekrempeltem-saum","provider":"Hike \u0026 Haven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
