Product Description

FINAL SALE

Some denim shorts are made for trends.

Others are made for real summer days.

The Koda was designed to be the pair that feels comfortable the moment you put it on.

These are high-rise light wash denim shorts with a roomier fit through the thigh and a trouser-inspired hem that gives them a cleaner, more polished finish. The stretch denim keeps them comfortable while the structured waistband keeps the look intentional.

Relaxed where you want it. Structured where it matters.

Feels like: Soft stretch denim that moves with you.
Looks like: Clean light wash shorts with a polished, trouser-style finish.

Why You’ll Love It

  • High-Rise Structure: Sits at your natural waist for a secure, flattering fit that stays comfortable all day.
  • Fuller Thigh Comfort Fit: Designed with extra room through the thigh for movement, comfort, and confident coverage.
  • Trouser-Inspired Hem: A clean finished hem gives these shorts a more polished, elevated look.
  • Light Wash Denim: Soft light wash with subtle dimension that pairs effortlessly with summer tops.
  • Premium Stretch Denim: Cotton blend with stretch designed to move with you while holding its shape.
  • Non-Distressed Finish: Classic denim styling that keeps these shorts versatile and easy to wear anywhere.

Designed for Real Life

Travel days. Weekend errands. Patio dinners that stretch into the evening.

The Koda is the pair you reach for when you want denim shorts that feel comfortable but still look pulled together.

No stiffness.
No constant adjusting.
Just dependable summer denim.

Fit & Fabric

Fit note: True to size with medium stretch. Most customers find this matches their usual department store jeans size.

Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer the same size as their usual boutique size. If you wear a size L in Judy Blue, you will wear a size L in The Koda.

For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.

Rise:
Size S: 11.5"
Size 1XL: 13.5"

Inseam:
Size XS-XL: 6.5"
Size 1XL-3XL: 7"

Fabric: 70% Cotton, 25% Polyester, 3% Viscose, 2% Spandex
Stretch denim designed to maintain its shape while offering comfortable flexibility.

Care: Machine wash cold, wash inside out. Tumble dry low.

The Why Behind the Design

Many denim shorts either feel restrictive through the thigh or overly casual.

The Koda was designed to sit right in the middle — offering the comfort of a roomier fit with the polished look of a trouser-style hem.

Because everyday denim should feel easy to wear while still looking intentional.

Would have loved to give 5 stars because they are perfect length and very comfortable but the length in each leg is not the same and very noticeable when you have them on. After contact with Ava Lane they shipped me a new pair. That is awesome customer service. Will defiantly buy from them again.

Comfortable shorts right from the start! They are a little more high-waisted than I anticipated, but roomy in the thighs. Very happy with them overall!

I purchased the shorts in size medium, which fit perfectly. I normally wear a size 8 or 10. Very comfortable with the high waist and wider width shorts. Would buy them in different colors if that was available.

We're thrilled to hear you're loving your Koda shorts! It's great to know the medium was a perfect fit and that you're enjoying the comfort of the high waist and relaxed leg opening. We do have them in black denim on our website!

Im 5'6" 250lbs carry most weigh in the belly area. Love the color & lenghth for a 64 yr old gramma. Price was decent. Only reason for 3* was if leg opening would have been snugger i would have given 5*. Was just my personal preference

Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear you loved the color, length, and value of the shorts. We also appreciate you sharing your honest feedback about the leg opening. Fit preferences can definitely vary from person to person, and feedback like yours helps other shoppers as well.

If you'd ever like help finding a style with a slimmer leg opening, we'd be happy to help you find a pair that better matches your preferences. Thank you for giving them a try!

I love these shorts. They’re stretchy and comfortable. Being 70 y/o I wish they came in a longer length. Good quality, good fit.

Thank you so much for the sweet review, Janet! We’re really glad the shorts feel stretchy and comfortable for you. The Koda is our longest short at the moment, but we totally understand wishing for a bit more length, especially when you love everything else about the fit. Your feedback truly helps us as we look for longer options to bring in.

Great shorts!

These shorts are comfortable right out of the box. I am 145lbs, 5’6 and went with a large. Fit is perfect. They are a great length, right at mid-thigh. Love them!

Love this, Kelly! So happy the shorts were comfy right out of the box and that the large was your perfect fit. Mid‑thigh length is such a good sweet spot too. Thanks for the amazing 5‑star review!

I love these shorts! Until these, I'd honestly given up on denim shorts the past few years; with my body changing between postpartum and perimenopause, it was hard to find a pair that were truly comfortable on me. But the cut of these is wonderful. The high waist makes me feel held-in and supported without being too tight and constricting, even when I sit down. The fit is excellent around my hips and thighs, and the slight stretch to the fabric adds to the comfort and wearability. Highly recommend!

Hi Sam, we're so happy to hear these shorts made a difference for you! Thank you for sharing your experience and for the high recommendation. Enjoy your new favorite shorts!
