B Sides Roma Shorts Chalk Overdye

Product Insights & Style Tips

B Sides’ Roma Shorts in Chalk Overdye are the kind of shorts that manage to be both unfussy and elevated—a rare middle ground of cool and ease. The mid-weight, non-stretch cotton twill gives the shorts a tactile, brushed surface with just enough structure to feel substantial without stiffness. The chalk overdye effect lends a soft, sunwashed palette that catches the understated, art school spirit B Sides is known for. These are shorts with presence: think borrowed-from-the-boys lines, but meticulously proportioned for a confident, contemporary edge.

The Roma Shorts are all about adaptability, with a high rise and generous 12.25-inch inseam that read effortlessly styled—never too short, always deliberate. The button closure and zip fly keep the look grounded in workwear tradition, while a classic five-pocket construction means you can travel light and hands-free. The cut sits easy through the hip and thigh, giving room to move but still holding a shape that flatters. Heavy enough to carry you through breezy mornings or layered over a slender knit for summer’s late afternoons, these shorts segue from studio days to after-dark gatherings without missing a beat.

This pair speaks directly to B Sides’ growing reputation for denim innovation and the cult appeal of their nuanced washes. Paired with a vintage tee or oversized linen shirt, the Roma Shorts channel the season’s obsession with reimagined classics—relying on quality, cut, and the kind of finish that feels authentically lived-in.
