    Pleat front shorts

    The pleat front shorts are a great dress short, which are excellent for work on hot summer days, or worn casually. The material is nice and good quality.

    Max does it again

    These pleat front shorts are everything I hoped they would be. Super flattering around the stomach area with the pleats, but tapers nicely around the back and legs, achieving a modern, baggy look without too much fabric and bulk. These will be on rotation all summer long - even to work with loafers and a blazer.
