Elm Stretch Tencel Cotton 4" Short

Q: How do the Elm shorts fit?
The Elm is a relaxed-fit short with a 4" inseam — hitting at the mid-thigh for a flattering, comfortable length that works on every body without being too casual or too precious. Available in sizes 24–31; true to size recommended. The stretch Tencel cotton fabric moves with you and recovers its shape beautifully, meaning no pulling, bunching, or adjusting throughout the day.

Q: Can the Elm short be dressed up for summer evenings?
Absolutely — and the fabric makes it easy. Stretch Tencel cotton has a refined, smooth finish that reads considerably more elevated than standard cotton or denim shorts. Pair the Black colorway with a silk blouse and simple sandals for an effortlessly chic warm-weather evening look, or style Parchment with a linen blazer for a summer occasion that requires a little more polish. The utility detailing keeps it interesting; the fabric keeps it sophisticated.

Q: How do the Elm and Kelley work together as a wardrobe?
The Elm short and Kelley midi skirt are cut from the same stretch Tencel cotton fabric family, making them natural wardrobe partners. While they don't share colorways exactly — the Elm comes in White, Parchment, Vetiver, and Black while the Kelley offers Cobblestone, Pale Chambray, and Natural — both anchor beautifully around the same neutral palette. Build your summer wardrobe around both and you'll have a warm-weather foundation that works from morning coffee to sunset dinner without a single redundant piece.
