Arden Short

Living at the intersection of smart and playful are these flippy A-line shorts, which have all the same tailored details as your go-to trousers—belt loops, hook-and-bar closure, back besom pockets—only with much more airflow. They’re short, sure, but not so short that you can’t wear them with heels on a night out. Note: If you picked up last year’s ivory Arden Short, know that these new ones are cut from a slightly different cloth—it’s 100 percent cotton, rather than stretch-infused cotton of last year’s version.

• 100% cotton
