Ciao Lucia Joska Short

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Ciao Lucia Joska Short channels that carelessly chic Mediterranean summer, all whitewashed and breezy. Cut from a midweight cotton-linen blend, the fabric has a tactile hand that strikes a balance between crisp and soft, with just enough body to keep its shape through sun-drenched afternoons. The scalloped hem, finished with delicate floral embroidery, elevates these shorts into something worthy of golden hour escapes and impromptu Aperol spritz runs—think Côte d’Azur energy, translated for the downtown set.

The elasticized waistband brings ease to the pull-on fit, so they sit comfortably at the waist and move with you, never feeling fussy or restrictive. These aren't your standard beach shorts, though—the silhouette gives you enough length for city walks, and the weight of the fabric keeps them from ever feeling revealing. The Joska Short holds its own styled solo with a tank or layered over a breezy swimsuit, and when the night cools, it slips right beneath an oversized shirt or open knit. Roomy without being oversized, the shape makes space for essentials (think: phone, a key, lip balm) slipped into pockets or a woven tote.

Ciao Lucia leans into that effortless romance L.A. girls do best, but with a nod to timeless European femininity—making these shorts a go-to seasonal staple alongside strappy sandals and a vintage button-down. The finishing touches—scallops, embroidery, that easy mid-rise—put them firmly in the category of wardrobe favorites, equally at home on coastal holidays or afternoons in the city.
