Product Insights
Loulou de Saison's Lory Striped Poplin Short brings Chloé Harrouche's pajama-style dressing into the daytime city-to-beach wardrobe, pairing with the matching Maud shirt for a complete summer set. Cut from 100% cotton poplin that weighs 90–130 g/m², it holds a crisp, structured line, doesn't cling in humidity, and resists wrinkles even after packing, yet the tighter weave runs slightly warmer than linen and light colorways can appear sheer in bright sun. A mid-rise, slightly loose straight leg ends at the upper thigh, cinched with a self-tie over an elastic waist, while side slash pockets and a back patch add utility. The label, an Instagram-born studio renamed in December 2024 and sold through 338 doors including a Bloomingdale's shop-in-shop beside Chloé, offers only even sizes 36–42, making this a deliberately tailored short for humid summers with trade-offs in warmth, sheerness, and sizing.
Verified claims
- Styling
- The brand positions the Lory short as Chloé Harrouche's pajama styling translated into a crisp cotton-poplin daytime piece, not sleepwear.
- Matching set
- A matching Maud shirt coordinates with the Lory for a city-to-beach summer set.
- Sheerness
- Light colourways can look slightly transparent in bright sun.
- Design philosophy
- The label studies silhouette, texture and proportion before refining familiar shapes; the Lory is deliberate, not trend-led.
- Silhouette
- Mid-rise waist and slightly loose straight leg end at the upper thigh; the self-tie cinches the relaxed body.
- Brand heritage
- Loulou de Saison launched in 2019 as Chloé Harrouche’s Instagram-born Loulou Studio and was renamed in December 2024.
- Market position
- High-end contemporary label reporting 15.5 million euros in 2025 revenue, 338 doors in 44 countries and three Paris boutiques.
- Seasonal use
- Positioned as a all-summer city-and-beach short, with the matching Maud shirt carried in the same curated edit.
- Retail positioning
- High-end contemporary label sold through 338 points of sale, with a Bloomingdale's shop-in-shop beside Chloé.
- Breathability
- Cotton poplin moves air at 85 CFM, absorbs sweat, and does not cling in humidity.
- Summer warmth
- Plain-weave poplin runs slightly warmer than linen but cooler than denim or synthetics.
- Texture
- Poplin feels cool to the touch and weighs 90-130 g/m² with a smooth, dense weave.
- Structure
- Crisp poplin holds a pressed shape and does not cling, keeping a tailored silhouette.
- Adjustability
- Drawstring over an elastic waist cinches to the wearer's actual waist.
- Packability
- Crisp cotton poplin resists wrinkles and survives 50+ washes without losing shape or color.
- Care
- Wash cold and air dry to preserve the cotton poplin's shape and minimize shrinkage.
- Heat performance
- Tighter poplin weave runs warmer than linen but stays crisp, so it suits city-to-beach wear.
- Material
- 100% cotton poplin with a crisp, structured hand that holds a pressed line out of a bag.
- Pockets
- Side slash pockets fit a phone, sunglasses and a silk scrunchie.
- Back pocket
- One back patch pocket provides a third stash point.
- Summer performance
- Breathable poplin holds its shape in humidity but runs warmer than linen and can look sheer in bright sun.
- Use case
- Lory is the short to reach for from daytime city outings to beach afternoons all summer
- Size range
- Only even sizes 36, 38, 40 and 42 are offered; 34, 44 and half sizes have no variant.
- Variant refs
- Each variant ref maps to one label size: 4548892–4548895 equal 36–42.
- Sizing guidance
- The brand does not publish a per-size waist measurement chart for sizes 36–42; retailer fit guidance says the Lory runs true to size and the elastic drawstring waist allows a flexible fit, so your usual French size should work.
- Stripe construction
- The listing does not state outright whether the stripes are woven or printed, but shirting-weight poplin stripes of this sort are most likely yarn-dyed and woven; cold washing and air drying supports pattern retention through 50+ washes.
- Shrinkage
- The product information does not specify whether the 100% cotton poplin is pre-shrunk, so some shrinkage is possible with hot washing and drying; cold washing and air drying minimizes that risk.
- Shoe pairing
- Clean white sneakers, minimalist leather slides, or loafers anchor the Lory's pajama-style short for daytime; soft house slippers undercut the structured waist and crisp poplin.
- Third-piece styling
- A structured third piece, such as a summer blazer or oversized button-down, is the fastest way to make the sleepwear-adjacent Lory read as intentional daytime dressing rather than slept-in.
