BUTTON-TRIM DENIM SHORTS CAPRI FOR WOMEN

There's a certain ease to pulling on a pair of knee-length denim shorts that sit right without any fuss at the waist. These capri-style shorts are cut for warm-weather mornings, the kind where you want to walk to the markets or sit out on the patio without tugging at your waistband all day. The elastic mid waist moves with you, so getting dressed takes no thought at all.

A plain front, side pockets, and a trio of buttons stitched at each hem give these denim shorts a bit of personality beyond the basic cut. The side pockets are deep enough to hold a phone or a set of keys, which means short outings don't need to involve a bag. The knee-length hem keeps legs cool while still offering more coverage than short shorts, striking a balance for anyone who wants a relaxed fit without going too brief.

Sized true to form with room through the hip and leg, these womens denim shorts suit a wide range of body types, including those shopping the plus size denim shorts rack for a fit that doesn't pinch. Knot them with a plain top for errands, or pair them with sandals for something dressier come evening. They're built for spring and summer, though a lighter wash can easily carry into early autumn.

A pair of shorts earns its spot in rotation when it works across seasons and occasions without asking much in return. These capris do exactly that, becoming the pair you reach for without a second thought.

Machine wash cold, hang dry.
