WOMEN'S SHORTS, THE PIECE THAT MAKES SUMMER
SHORTS, THE SUMMER ESSENTIAL THAT ALLOWS NO COMPROMISE
When summer arrives, shorts become the most worn piece in a woman's wardrobe. Yet they're also the piece most prone to compromise: cuts that don't suit every figure, uncomfortable fabrics, hit-or-miss lengths. At Place du Jour, we work on shorts with the same rigor as our full-length trousers and jeans. A high-waisted cut to structure the silhouette, a carefully considered length that flatters without revealing too much, and fabrics suited to the heat without wrinkling. Place du Jour shorts are designed so a woman of 40, 50, or 60 can wear them as easily as she would at 20.
DENIM, JOGGJEANS, AND LACE SHORTS — EVERY VARIATION
Place du Jour shorts come in several fabrics and lengths. In classic denim for timeless casual style. In joggjeans for summer comfort with the look of jeans. In lace for dressier, more feminine pieces. In colorful versions for those who love a bit of personality. Carefully crafted details: embroidered belts, novelty buttons, daisy or heart embroidery, exposed zip fastenings.
HOW TO WEAR SHORTS TO FLATTER EVERY FIGURE
The golden rule: always go high-waisted. High-waisted shorts define the waist, lengthen the legs, and flatter every figure — including those who think they can't wear shorts at all. On length: shorts that hit just above the knee are universally flattering; mid-thigh takes more confidence to pull off; longer shorts that fall below the knee bring a chic, dressed-up bermuda feel. On footwear: slim flat sandals, wedge espadrilles, mules. On tops: tuck a top into the waistband to show off your curves.
