• Satin twill fabric with a smooth, light-catching finish that reads as occasion-ready without effort
• Generous self-tie bow at the waist - a considered detail that anchors the silhouette and can be styled full or left to trail
• High-rise waistband with structured pleating that creates volume through the leg for a refined, full silhouette
• Side pockets sit neatly within the pleats, maintaining the clean lines of the front
• Fully lined with an inside leg of 20cm - a shorts length that works as confidently as a midi for formal dressing

These shorts are built around one of fashion's quieter power moves - the tailored short worn as occasion wear. The structured satin twill holds its shape through the day, making it as suited to a summer wedding as it is to a day at the races or a graduation lunch. Style as the model does, paired with a fitted black top tucked in to let the bow and silhouette do the work. For a more formal event, swap to a silk or satin blouse in a tonal shade and add a pointed-toe heel to lengthen the leg. The self-tie bow offers a degree of versatility - worn as a full bow it reads as dressed-up; tied more loosely or to one side it softens the look for a smart garden party or outdoor celebration. A structured clutch and minimal jewellery keep the overall effect considered rather than overdone.
