Product Insights & Style Tips

WILDFANG’s The Empower Wide Leg Short channels suiting authority with a flipped script—tailored yet laidback, serious but unafraid to play. Cut from a soft, drapey rayon blend with a touch of spandex, these high-rise shorts feel both refined and effortless. The double-pleated front and generous wide leg mirror the charm of a borrowed-from-the-boys trouser, only recast at a fresh knee length that reads irreverent and cool. Sartorial details like the tab front closure and neat welt pockets underscore the brand’s love for classic menswear, reimagined with a modern wink.

Sizing from 0 to 30W and true to a high-waisted silhouette, the Empower Short sits comfortably at the waist, then falls away effortlessly—making room for afternoon walks, bike commutes, or impromptu meetings. The soft structure gives the shorts enough polish to slot easily under a blazer, while side and back pockets are deep enough for essentials yet subtle enough to keep the line clean. The length works with boots, platforms, or sneakers, and a tucked-in tee or crisp button-down overlays with zero fuss. It’s rare to find tailoring that moves with you in every sense, but WILDFANG has always been about blurring boundaries—these shorts make that everyday reality.

Pairing a progressive size range with confident tailoring, WILDFANG stands out for turning suiting into street style. The Empower Short embodies that ethos, giving you the feel of suiting with the freedom of summer—and a glimpse of where the modern cool-girl uniform is headed.
