Maxe High-Rise Woven-Cotton Blend Shorts

A skin-baring design primed for sunnier climes? It could only be the work of an Australian label and this time it’s SIR (an acronym for ‘separates’, ‘intimates’ and ‘ready-to-wear’). Dubbed Maxe, these high-rise shorts are whipped up in a woven-cotton blend to a tailored design defined by the contrasting stitching framing the zip-fly fastening. Style with the matching bandeau top and chunky sandals? Good thinking.
