Hepburn Aura High-Rise Pleated Shorts

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Hepburn Aura high-rise pleated shorts feel like a sunlit blend of city polish and easygoing ease. The mid-rise silhouette sits crisply at the waist, while soft cotton-lyocell fabric gives a breathable, draped hand that moves with you. A pleated front adds subtle volume and a touch of vintage refinement, and the five-pocket styling + front zip anchor the look in everyday practicality—blue shorts that read polished but never fussy.

At the hips, the high rise and tailored pleats balance with a relaxed waistband, so they skim without clinging. The pockets carry what you need—keys, card, lipstick—and the zip keeps the line clean when you tuck in a tee or swap to a silky blouse. The fabric’s cotton-lyocell blend yields a cool, breathable feel that layers well under a light blazer or over a simple knit, and is machine washable, keeping care simple as you rotate through looks and occasions.

DL1961 has built a reputation on elevated basics with a denim-forward sensibility, and Hepburn Aura shorts carry that ethos into a polished warm-weather moment. Style notes: a crisp white shirt and sandals for a refined day vibe, or a ribbed knit tee and chunky sneakers for a street-ready edge.
