Product Description

Martha is one of those pairs that just works the second you put it on.

The fit feels secure. The wash feels fresh. The details give it just enough edge without making it hard to style.

These are high-rise denim shorts with built-in tummy control, a hidden button fly for a smooth front, and a raw cuffed hem with side slits that adds shape and movement. The light wash keeps them easy and seasonal, while the two inseam options let you choose the coverage that feels right for you.

Feels like: Structured stretch denim with supportive comfort.
Looks like: A clean, flattering light wash short with a little extra detail.

Why You’ll Love It

  • High-Rise Support: Sits at your natural waist for a secure, smoothing fit that helps define your shape.
  • Built-In Hip-to-Hip Tummy Control: A shaping panel supports the midsection and creates a flatter, more streamlined front.
  • Hidden Button Fly: Creates a smooth, clean finish through the front for a more polished look.
  • Raw Cuffed Hem with Side Slits: A fixed cuff with subtle side slits adds dimension and keeps the fit comfortable through the leg.
  • Light Wash Denim: Soft, fresh wash that works perfectly for warm-weather styling.
  • Two Inseam Options: Choose your ideal length. Short 3" or Regular 5".
  • Premium Stretch Denim: Moves with you while holding its shape throughout the day.

Designed for Real Life

Warm days. Weekend plans. Quick outfits that still need to feel put together.

Martha is the pair you reach for when you want something easy, flattering, and just a little more styled than your basic denim shorts.

Fit & Fabric

Fit note: Size down with medium stretch. Most customers find this runs larger than their usual department store denim shorts 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 Martha.

Size 3XL: 12.75"

The Why Behind the Design

Some denim shorts feel too basic. Others feel over designed.

Martha was built to sit right in between. Clean lines through the front. A little edge at the hem. Coverage options that actually matter.

Because the best shorts are the ones you do not have to second guess.

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.
