Illo Belted High-Rise Stretch-Denim Shorts

Shorts season is almost upon us (let the rapturous cheers commence), and Parisian label Maje is celebrating by whipping up this pair from stretch denim. Dubbed the “Illo”, these shorts sit comfortably high on your waist and shaped to a relaxed silhouette to betray the laidback nonchalance of the label’s hometown; well, Paris of course. Team them with cropped blouses or T-shirts and leather jackets.

• Main: 98% cotton, 2% elastane, Pocket lining: 65% polyester, 35% cotton

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.
