Pistola Nova High Rise Cut Off Shorts

Product Insights & Style Tips

The Pistola Nova High Rise Cut Off Shorts play in that sweet spot between vintage Americana and modern cool. Cut from pure cotton, they channel authentic denim energy—the kind that softens and molds with each wear but never loses that slightly rigid, well-loved structure. The raw hem keeps things nonchalant and a touch rebellious, while the faded indigo wash ("Calling") lands right between sun-bleached and high-impact. These are shorts that look like they’ve lived a life—perfectly distressed, endlessly toss-on-able, and effortlessly undone.

With a true high-rise waist, the Nova cinches without pinching, sitting comfortably above the hips to elongate the silhouette. The rigid denim offers support with just enough give as it breaks in, and the classic five-pocket layout means you can go hands-free (phone, card, lip gloss—handled). Rolled solo or layered under blazers or cropped knits, these shorts hold their shape and mood no matter the styling. They move easily between daytime errands, festival weekends, and impromptu rooftop evenings, all while keeping that Pistola edge in play.

Pistola consistently nails the cool-girl denim archetype, and the Nova slots right into the rotation with its considered fit and elevated, undone energy. Pair with a ribbed tank and chunky sandals for model-off-duty ease, or throw on an oversized shirt for a glance at LA-girl nonchalance—these shorts are built for whatever the moment demands.
