Whether you’re cruising on your bike or soaking up the sun in your backyard, no summer wardrobe is complete without a few pairs of durable, dependable shorts. With this in mind, our short collection goes the extra mile to ensure your comfort — and the planet’s health. Our men’s shorts and women’s shorts are made using only organic and recycled materials, and each pair purchased plants ten trees. But with so many options, which pair best suits your summer style?
To save you from clicking back and forth between product pages, we break down everything you need to know from fabric to fit so you can find your perfect match. And to make things even simpler, we’ve put each pair into one of three categories for quick reference: Made For Every Day, Made For Movement, and Made For Lounging.
The Made For Everyday category features versatile shorts you’ll reach for time and time again. Whether you’re heading to the office or meeting a friend over brunch, they’ve got you covered (literally). When summer’s in full swing, the Made For Movement shorts will transition you seamlessly from one outdoor to the next or just to the couch to catch your breath. And last but not least, the Made For Lounging category speaks for itself. They’ll keep you cozy and cool around the house while also giving you that effortless lounge look when you head out the door.
So let’s dive in and start with the women’s styles. (Scroll ahead to jump to the men’s.)
Women’s Styles
Made For Everyday
1. Instow Short
The Instow Short is a comfortable pull-on short that’s practical and durable. It features roomy front and back pockets with an elastic waistband and drawcord, making it easy to adjust to your perfect fit.
Featured: Women’s Instow Short
This style is made from 100% TENCEL™ Lyocell, known for its super soft texture. TENCEL™ is a wood pulp fibre with a small environmental footprint, thanks to its closed-looped production process. As a result of this process, 95% less water is used in production than with conventional cotton.
2. Hemp Stretch Instow Short
With front and back pockets, an elastic waistband and drawcord, the Hemp Stretch Instow Short is similar to the style above but has a little more stretch with a fabric blend of 53% Hemp, 44% Organic Cotton, and 3% Spandex. Hemp is an ideal summer material as it’s naturally anti-microbial and UV resistant.

3. Twill High Waist Short
If you’re looking for a more structured fit that’s still breathable, look no further than the Twill High Waist Short. Made using organic cotton stretch twill (97% Organic Cotton and 3% Elastane), this style ensures all design elements, right down to the zipper, are sustainable. The YKK NATULON® zipper is made using recycled materials from post-consumer polyester products, ensuring nothing goes to waste.

4. Linen Offshore Short
The Linen Offshort Short has a relaxed high-rise fit that pairs perfectly with your favourite summer tops, whether it’s a classic tee, cropped cami, or knit tank top. Made from a blend of 65% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 35% Linen, it’s important to note that this fabric doesn’t stretch. So when you’re adding it to your cart, select the size that fits the widest part of your body for the most flattering fit.

5. Linen City Short
A variation on the Linen Offshore short, the Linen City Short still gives you the same flattering high-waisted look but with a longer inseam. With a similar blend of 73% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 27% Linen, ensure you select the size that fits the widest part of your body since this fabric isn’t the stretchiest.

Men’s Styles
Made For Everyday
1. Twill Latitude Short
A blend of 97% Organic Cotton and 3% Elastane, the Twill Latitude Short was designed with your best summer in mind. With four earth-inspired tones to choose from, this style features a hidden zipper pocket to ensure your essentials are safe and uses a recycled YKK NATULON ® zipper. Because why waste resources when we can just recycle, right?

2. Hemp Latitude Short
The Hemp Latitude Short has the same fit as the Twill Latitude Short but is made from a blend of 53% Hemp, 44% REPREVE® Recycled Polyester, and 3% Spandex.

3. Joshua Hemp Short
The Joshua Hemp Short features the same soft, sustainable fabric blend as the Hemp Latitude Short but has a slightly shorter inseam (7” vs. 9”). With this shorter inseam and extra back pocket, they’re great for beach days or running errands around town.
