Product Description
Product Description
Zadie has that easy summer energy that makes getting dressed feel simple.
The wash gives it character. The distressing keeps it casual. The fit still gives you the smoothing support you want through the midsection. It is relaxed, flattering, and just undone enough to make a basic outfit feel more styled.
These are mid-rise denim shorts with built-in tummy control, comfortable stretch, and a bold rock indigo wash with heavy fading for added dimension. Designed to sit at or just below the natural waist, they balance support and ease with distressed thigh details and a frayed hem that keeps the overall look laid back.
Feels like: Stretch denim with support where you want it.
Looks like: Lived-in summer shorts that make even a simple tee feel more intentional.
Why You’ll Love It
- Mid-Rise Comfort: Sits at or just below the natural waist for a comfortable, everyday fit that feels secure without feeling too high.
- Built-In Hip-to-Hip Tummy Control: A smoothing panel supports the midsection and creates a cleaner, more flattering front.
- Rock Indigo Wash: A rich indigo base with heavy fading gives these shorts bold contrast and standout character.
- Distressed Thigh Detail: Intentional distressing adds edge and keeps the overall look relaxed and casual.
- Frayed Hem Finish: A raw, lived-in edge gives the shorts that effortless summer feel.
- Premium Stretch Denim: Soft stretch denim moves with you while holding its shape throughout the day.

Care
Machine wash cold, wash inside out. Tumble dry low.
The Why Behind the Design
Some denim shorts feel too structured for summer. Others lose all shape and support.
Zadie was designed to sit right in the middle. A little smoothing. A little edge. A fit that feels easy, with enough detail to make the whole outfit feel more intentional.
Because casual denim should still feel good on.
