Product Insights
Icône's drawstring-waist wide-leg boxer-style short offers a breathable poplin silhouette that resists collapsing for an airy fit, featuring an adjustable drawcord and elastic waistband that flatters hourglass and pear figures by cinching the waist and eliminating hip bulk. It delivers 300-500 CFM airflow and 8-12% moisture absorption for cool comfort, and the coordinating set with a matching blouse aligns with 2025's boxer trend. The main tradeoff is sheerness: the lightweight, unlined organic cotton poplin may be somewhat sheer in bright light, though the pattern helps minimize show-through. At a sale price of $19.99 CAD, it undercuts comparable options from Lands' End and Jockey.
Verified claims
- Breathability
- Poplin's plain weave passes 300–500 cubic feet of air per minute and cotton absorbs 8–12% of its weight in moisture, which helps keep the shorts cool in hot weather.
- Shape retention
- Poplin's crisp hand resists collapsing, keeping the wide-leg silhouette airy in heat.
- Sheerness
- Patterned Blue color may be somewhat sheer in bright light due to lightweight unlined poplin.
- Hourglass & pear flattery
- Cinch waist and wide leg flatter hourglass and pear figures.
- Waistband performance
- The drawcord and elastic waistband are adjustable and generally stay in place during sitting and moving, though individual fit may vary.
- Material
- 100% organic cotton poplin holds shape and breathes, but may be sheer.
- Trend context
- Paperbag waist and matching blouse co-ord set align with the women's boxer trend recommended by ABC News and Vogue.
- Fit
- Drawcord paperbag waist provides a secure, adjustable fit that flatters hourglass and pear body shapes.
- Value
- Sale price $19.99 CAD undercuts comparable women's poplin boxer shorts from Lands' End ($44.95 USD) and Jockey ($28 USD).
- Coordinated outfit
- Matching blouse available creates a coordinated set.
- Climate comfort
- Poplin's weave allows airflow and absorbs moisture for cool comfort.
- Opacity
- The unlined poplin may be somewhat sheer in bright light, but the pattern helps minimize show-through.
- Co-ord set styling
- Matching blouse creates a co-ord set recommended by ABC News and Vogue.
- Wash care
- Cold wash and low tumble dry minimize shrinkage.
- Silhouette
- Hidden pockets and unlined build flatter hourglass and pear shapes by eliminating hip bulk.
- Lightweight construction
- Cotton poplin typically falls in the 100–150 GSM range, placing these shorts in the lightweight category for coverage without heat-trapping weight.
- Outerwear co-ord styling
- The matching blouse turns these shorts into a full co-ord set, elevating them from loungewear into a polished day-to-evening outfit rather than underwear.
- Size small proportions
- In size small, the 12.5-inch rise places the paperbag waist at the natural waist, and the 4.75-inch inseam keeps the leg line short to avoid overwhelming volume on petite frames.

Compared within this brand.
| Drawstring-Waist Wide-Leg Boxer-Style Short: Choose this if you want airy warm-weather shorts in crisp, lightweight 100% organic cotton poplin, with an elastic paper bag waist that adjusts with a drawcord and a loose wide-leg boxer silhouette that hits at mid-thigh (a 4.75 inch inseam in size small). The unlined design includes hidden side-seam slit pockets, a wide folded cuff hem with contrast horizontal stripes, and thin vertical pinstripes on a pale blue ground in Patterned Blue. Note it comes only in sizes X-Small to Medium and is unlined, and the merchant page shows it as part of a matching two-piece outfit with a buttoned top.[1,2,3,4] | Crinkled Texture Smocked Waist Short: Choose this if you want a flowy, lightweight short with a delicate crinkled texture, a broad stretch smocked waistband, and a gathered, flared hem that creates a relaxed, skirt-like silhouette — cut from 100% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose in an olive green, in sizes X-Small to X-Large. In size small, the rise measures 11 inches (28 cm) with a 3-inch (7 cm) inseam. Note that it is unlined and subtly sheer, which matters if you prefer more coverage.[5,6,7,8] | Deep Pleating High-Waisted Short: Choose this if you want a high-waisted, wide-legged black short with two deep front pleats and a relaxed A-line shape that falls to just above the knee, in a stretch viscose blend (75% LENZING ECOVERO viscose) with a linen-look, matte finish. Reviewers report the lightweight fabric and comfortable cut work well for all-day summer outings, and the pleating draws compliments at social events, while the hidden back zip and no visible rear pockets keep the look clean. Note that the high waist is very pronounced, so it won't suit a low-rise preference, and some reviewers found the fabric quality just okay rather than premium.[9,10,11,12] |
