Alexandre Vauthier High-rise stretch-cotton shorts

Reflecting Alexandre Vauthier's sharp Parisian aesthetic, these shorts are defined by a structured, high-rise silhouette. The design’s architectural form and precise tailoring create a powerful profile, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional skirts for both day and evening wear, embodying a modern sense of glamour.

The art of the detail

Cut from a crisp cotton-blend fabric with a hint of stretch for structure, these shorts are a study in meticulous tailoring. The design features a flattering high-rise waist that descends into precisely shaped legs with turned-up cuffs, creating an elongated and commanding silhouette. Presented in a versatile green hue, the style's utility-inspired elements are reinterpreted through a luxury lens, evident in the clean lines and sculptural quality. The substantial feel of the fabric ensures they hold their architectural shape perfectly.

How to wear

Style these shorts with a fluid silk blouse and pointed-toe pumps for an elegant evening ensemble suited for gallery openings or dinner reservations. For a contemporary take on city dressing, pair them with a form-fitting bodysuit and strappy sandals. The structured silhouette lends itself well to layering with a tailored blazer for transitional seasons. An angular clutch and minimal gold jewelry complete the look, underscoring the shorts’ inherent sophistication for any upscale occasion. This piece seamlessly adapts from daytime polish to after-dark allure, proving its versatility within a modern wardrobe.
