Ella Flared Button Front Shorts

That smocked back waistband is the kind of detail you don't know you needed until you've worn it all day running errands, grabbing lunch, and still feeling like yourself at 5pm. These aren't your typical denim shorts — the gathered, tiered panels give them a flowy, almost skirt-like movement that feels feminine and fun without trying too hard. Six natural-tone buttons down the front add a vintage-inspired touch that makes a simple tee and sandals look genuinely put together.

The dark indigo wash reads a little more polished than your average cutoffs, which means they transition beautifully from a Saturday farmers market to dinner on a patio. Side pockets are fully functional (because pockets that aren't are a crime), and the fitted waistband with smocked stretch at the back means you get structure in the front and give where you need it. The 90% cotton blend keeps them breathable for these warm spring days while holding their shape wash after wash.
