Product Description

Some denim shorts look good standing still.

The real test is living in them.

The Lennie was designed for the days when you’re moving — errands, travel, dinner plans — and you want shorts that keep up without constant adjusting.

These are women’s high-rise distressed denim shorts with built-in tummy control and comfortable stretch. Designed to smooth through the waist, balance through the hips, and deliver that broken-in denim look from day one.

Casual denim. Done intentionally.

Feels like: Comfortable stretch denim that moves with you.
Looks like: Classic distressed shorts with a flattering high-rise fit.

Why You’ll Love It

  • High-Rise Structure: Sits at your natural waist for a smoothing, secure fit that stays in place.
  • Built-In Hip-to-Hip Tummy Control: A shaping panel supports the midsection and creates a clean, confident front.
  • Distressed Denim Finish: Intentional distressing adds texture and a lived-in look without feeling overdone.
  • Balanced Leg Opening: Relaxed through the hips with a flattering leg opening that feels comfortable and easy to wear.
  • Premium Stretch Denim: Cotton blend with recovery that maintains shape while staying comfortable.
  • Two Inseam Options: Because coverage preferences are personal. Short 3.5” and Regular 5.5”
  • Light Wash: Soft stone washed light blue denim for a fresh, warm weather look.

Ava Lane Denim

Ava Lane denim is designed with intention. Every pair features our signature hip-to-hip tummy control panel, thoughtfully engineered to provide smoothing support without sacrificing comfort. We use premium stretch denim designed for comfort and movement while holding its shape wear after wear.

Our premium denim is made with pre-shrunk fabric to ensure long term fit and durability over standard denim. Each pair includes a personal message from our founder on the inside panel, reflecting our commitment to creating denim that supports real women and real bodies.

Every Ava Lane denim style arrives in a custom pink box that is giftable and thoughtfully designed for a premium unboxing experience.

We are proud to work with manufacturing partners that use responsible production practices, including water saving dyeing techniques, energy efficient machinery, and material reuse wherever possible. This allows us to create denim you can feel good wearing in every sense.
