What to Keep in Mind When Buying Women's Shorts

Finding the right pair of shorts is about more than just fit. Think about how and where you'll wear them, and what makes you feel most comfortable. Keep these key points in mind:

1. Occasion: Choose cotton shorts or casual shorts for laid-back settings, or tailored styles for events or smart-casual dress codes.

2. Length: Bermuda shorts offer extra coverage, while mid-thigh options feel easy and breezy for everyday wear.

3. Rise: High-rise or high-waisted shorts create a flattering shape with tucked-in t-shirts, while low-rise styles offer a laid-back feel that works well with oversized shirts.

4. Comfort: Look for elasticised waistbands, soft materials, or pull-on styles that move with you throughout the day.

Which Fabrics Work Best for Women’s Shorts?

The Australian climate calls for lightweight and breathable fabrics that can keep up with your day. Sussan’s women’s shorts are made from premium materials that balance style and function.

Linen is ideal for hot weather thanks to its natural breathability, while cotton offers everyday softness and versatility. For more structure, denim holds its shape and offers durability across seasons. Stretch blends provide ease of movement, perfect for long days out.

Our collection features thoughtfully selected fabrics, including lyocell, BCI cotton, 100% linen, linen blend, Australian cotton, cotton blend, 100% viscose, LENZING™ ECOVERO™, and viscose blends.

How Should Women’s Shorts Fit

Your shorts should sit comfortably at the waist without digging in, and allow ease through the hips and thighs. Mid-rise or high-rise options offer a flattering silhouette, while baggy styles give you room to move.

Length is personal, too. Some prefer shorter cuts, others feel confident in longer fits like chino shorts or cut-offs. For the best fit, check out our online size guide. It’s a helpful tool for choosing sizes from XXS to 4XL with confidence.

How To Style Women's Shorts

There’s no shortage of ways to wear women’s shorts. Mix and match pieces from our new arrivals or best sellers to build looks that work across your week. For easy inspiration:

1. Pair linen shorts with lightweight t-shirts and sandals for warm days on the go.

2. Style tailored shorts with a button-up shirt and loafers for office-ready polish.

3. Go casual in denim short styles, teamed with hoodies and sneakers for a relaxed look.

4. Choose printed shorts with a tucked-in long-sleeve blouse for smart-casual weekends.

5. For holidays, try a pull-on short with loose tanks, swimwear layers and a wide-brim hat.

6. Swap out skorts or jumpsuits for a belted short and soft tee when you want more freedom to mix and match.

7. Add a crisp pleated shirt with a front pocket short and flats for an easy, elevated outfit.

8. Keep it simple on busy days with cotton shorts styled like activewear for comfort without compromising style.
