Vintage Elizabeth & James, Black High Waisted Sailor Shorts, size 4

Very high waisted and super short, with real working buttons down either side for a retro aesthetic that is reminiscent of work wear crossed with naval pinup girl. These dress shorts feature the immaculate attention to detail that Elizabeth & James is known for, with a hidden clip layer that offers more support and ensures a perfectly cinched fit. There is a small tear in the seam on the hidden layer (as shown in the last image), otherwise these are in perfect condition. Short dress shorts were an extremely popular style in the 2000s, worn by celebs like Mischa Barton, Taylor Swift and Cameron Diaz. Size 4.
