High-Rise Crepe Shorts

Ah, la belle Paris. Home to the Eiffel Tower, delicious food, little bistros and Maje, aka the creator of these shorts. Yes, they’re shorts, but they’re cleverly stitched with a fold of fabric that falls over the front so they look like a mini skirt. Best of both worlds, we say. Neatly cut so they sit high over your hips, they help create a defined hourglass silhouette. We’ve teamed them with a silky pussybow blouse and Western-style boots – only thing missing? A beret, bien sûr.

• 67% polyester, 29% viscose, 4% elastane; lining 56% acetate, 44% viscose

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
