MAKEMECHIC High Waisted Wide Leg Shorts

A day in these high waisted wide leg shorts begins with movement. Printed in a blue colourway that reads like a clear-sky motif, they take the place of a faded summer dress when warm weather asks for less fabric and more air. The wider legs fall away from the body and read as casual polish for a picnic, a market run or an evening walk.

They ask for careful pairing. The cut does not tuck neatly into every top, so a shorter or cropped piece balances the high waist best. The print makes them the visual anchor of an outfit, which means other pieces should be quieter. They trade anonymity for presence and reward a little attention at dressing.

One of 213 on the skirts, shorts and pants rail in the MAKEMECHIC collection. 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.
