MAKEMECHIC 3 Pack Linen Gingham Shorts

The shorts come off at the bedroom chair and are ready for the afternoon. Three linen blend pairs fold into a tote, each in a different checked or striped colourway. An elastic waist keeps the line simple, so the pattern does the talking: gingham one day, plaid or stripe the next. They sit light in a bag and uncrumple with a pause.

On a warm morning they live beside a sunhat and a paperback. The cut is straightforward and made to rotate through a week of evenings on the terrace or a slow weekend market. The set gives a handful of looks from the same silhouette. Note the limit: they are shorts first, not a multipurpose trouser.

One of 213 on the skirts, shorts and pants rail in the MAKEMECHIC lineup. It also answers to shorts. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
