This women's Bermuda short is a wide-leg, high-rise style made from 100% Masters of FLAX FIBRE™ linen, a certified European linen with a thick, durable washed weave. It features a ruched elastic waistband with a tie cord, front slant pockets, buttoned patch back pockets, and small side vents. For size small, the front rise measures 12 inches (30 cm) and the inseam is 8 inches (20 cm); customer reviews generally report a true-to-size fit, though a few note the waist runs large.

Product Insights

Contemporaine's Drawcord Waist Pure Linen Bermuda Short offers thick, certified European linen that is prewashed and traceable, with a relaxed drape from heavy washed linen creating broad pillowy folds. An adjustable ruched waist with drawcord ensures a stay-put fit for between-sizes wearers, while an 8-inch hem and 12-inch rise lengthen the leg line. Side vents preserve the A-line silhouette, and slant and buttoned back pockets combine convenience with security. At $79, it undercuts comparable designer shorts by half, earning a 4.6/5 rating from early buyers. However, the linen requires cold washing and low heat drying to limit first-wash shrinkage to 3-5%.
