Carretto-Print Silk Twill Shorts

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Carretto-Print Silk Twill Shorts from Dolce & Gabbana feel like a festival of color, wrapped in the lustrous ease of silk twill. The signature Carretto print rides across the fabric in vivid, painterly swirls, while contrast piping defines the edges with a sharp couture wink. A partial elasticized waistband nods to everyday comfort, and the mid rise sits high on the hip for a confident, elongating line. A single front pleat adds quiet volume and movement to the silhouette.

The cut favors movement with easy legs and angled side slip pockets that stay out of sight when you sit. The button and zip fly anchors the waist while the silk drape skims the body without clinging, letting you layer a silk blouse, cardigan, or tee on top with ease. These shorts glide from daytime lunches to evening dinners, keeping the look polished without shouting.

As a Dolce & Gabbana piece, the Carretto motif nods to the brand's celebration of Italian folk art inspired prints and luxury craft. Made in Italy and finished with dry clean care, they pair best with minimal tops to let the print do the talking, think of a white shirt or a sleek satin camisole.
