The Avenue Shorts feature a moderately high rise, an elastic waistband, and a subtle A-line silhouette that flares slightly through the legs for an easy, breezy fit with a touch of volume. Mix and match details like inseam pockets, side stripes, a split hem, back pockets, and a ruffle hem to create one of 24 possible versions, and find your perfect “avenue”.

The Avenue Shorts can be made in a variety of fabrics depending on the look you’re going for. Woven fabrics in the 3-8 oz range are a great place to start, and are what I most commonly reach for.

You can also experiment with less traditional options, like ripstop nylon or supplex nylon for a more outdoorsy feel, or sweatshirt fleece and French terry for lounge shorts.
