At Appart 17, women's shorts don't get packed away at the end of summer. The NORTON by FRNCH in faux leather, the Eta bermuda by JDY in faux suede and the knitted PCMOLLY by Pieces all work with tights and boots, while the denim and embroidered gingham styles from Laure plus Max are ready for the first sunny days. High waists, wide legs or a pleated bermuda: a tight edit with plenty of range, from under thirty to around a hundred euros.

Picking shorts for the season

  • In winter: go for a fabric with some structure, like the NORTON's pleated faux leather or the Eta's faux suede, worn with opaque tights and knee-high boots.
  • For a smarter look: a high waist and a quality fabric do the work, as with the pinstriped wool of the SLFTONIA by Selected Femme. Pair it with a blazer or a fine knit.
  • When the sun is out: the cotton broderie anglaise shorts by Pieces or the wide-leg Plummy by VILA look best with bare legs and flat sandals.
