Women's Denim Shorts

Find the right fit with jean shorts designed for everyday wear. Choose from high-waisted silhouettes and different cuts to suit whichever way you like to wear your denim. Play with proportion by choosing a shorter cut or a longer length for more coverage. Once you’ve found a length you love, explore the washes to find a pair that fits naturally into your wardrobe. Traditional blues work to keep things casual, while deeper tones can make an outfit feel a little more refined.

Quality women's denim should feel as good as it looks. As the seasons shift, women's shorts can still be a reliable number in your wardrobe. Build around them with an open shirt, light jacket, or longer layer, letting the denim act as an easy base while the rest of your look adapts as needed.

Loafers, sneakers or boots can be switched up depending on the occasion. Whether styled simply or layered with your favourite pieces, denim shorts for women become a versatile staple for everyday outfits, mid-morning brunches and beach days. Complete the look with a belt, sunglasses or a favourite bag that really makes the outfit feel like your own. And, for those cooler days, explore our relaxed fit jeans and wide-leg jeans.

Denim Shorts FAQs

1. What length are Unison's denim shorts (above-the-knee, mid-thigh, etc.)?

You can choose from different lengths across Unison's denim shorts range. Longer designs include the Denim Walk Short and the Rinse Denim Pleated Short, while the Denim Bermuda Short offers a classic Bermuda length that finishes just above the knee. Where the hem sits will depend on your height and proportions, so be sure to check the product’s description.

2. How do I find my true size/fit in denim shorts?

For the best fit, measure your waist and hips, then compare them with our women's size guide. All measurements are in Australian sizes and centimetres so that you can achieve a perfect fit. Because cut and fabrication differ between styles, read the fit notes on the product page before choosing your denim shorts for this season.

3. How do I wash denim shorts without fading or shrinking them?

You can wear your denim shorts several times between washes by spot-cleaning small marks with a damp cloth and mild soap. When washing, choose cold water and a gentle cycle, keeping them inside out and washing only with similar colours. Skip bleach, soaking, and the dryer, as it can cause fading and shrinkage. Always be sure to follow the garment’s care label.

4. Can denim shorts be shortened or hemmed if they run long?

Yes, most denim shorts can be shortened by an experienced tailor. The best approach depends on the original hem, stitching, pockets and overall cut. Try your shorts on, decide where you want them to finish, and make sure the alteration preserves the intended shape before proceeding.

5. What can I wear with denim shorts for different occasions?

Create a simple summer look by wearing denim shorts with a tee or tank, sandals and your favourite sunglasses. For more considered occasions, switch to a blouse or fitted shirt and add your favourite accessories. Layer with a lightweight knit and choose comfortable shoes ready to tackle any day you have ahead.
