BEST SELLING COLOURS AND STYLES OF SHORTS
Move over winter tights, our new arrivals boast the latest styles and colours in women’s shorts to flaunt all summer long! We’ve got soft and stretchy knee-length denim shorts in timeless black and white washes to pair with matching shoes and a nice purse or wallet.
High waist paperbag shorts are on high rotation thanks to their gathered elastic waistband that looks flattering on all shapes and sizes. Find them in a white wash for an easy-breezy look when teamed with t-shirts and singlets.
Go from the beach to brunch with our cotton shorts made for Australian summers. Available in pink or khaki, slip them over swimwear with a sun hat before adding a half-tucked casual tee to grab a bite to eat.
Step it up a notch with our knee-length dress shorts in crisp white. Made from a stretchy denim, they can be kept laidback with a denim jacket or elevated with a blazer for smart casual.
FABRICS FOR COMFORT
Comfort is key when it comes to women’s shorts that keep us cool on summer days. Grae shorts are crafted from lightweight natural fabric blends for maximum breathability and softness. Cotton is natural, lightweight and allows the skin to breathe which makes it a top choice for summer sleepwear and shorts. Discover knee-length and mid-length shorts made from 100% cotton in seasonal shades for easy mixing and matching with your other warm weather faves.
Cotton and polyester shorts are less prone to wrinkles and are durable for wearing year after year. If you like your shorts more fitted, check out our cotton and elastane blends which contour more closely to the body for an elegant silhouette fit for dressier occasions.
FINDING THE RIGHT STYLE AND FIT FOR YOU
Unlike an all-in-one maxi dress or jumpsuit outfit, women’s shorts offer ultimate flexibility for wearing with all of your essential tops and outerwear. Our new in styles come in an inclusive range of women’s sizes and styles for every body and every occasion.
From relaxed high waist paper bag shorts to stretch denim shorts that can be dressed up or down, it’s easy to find your perfect match at Suzanne Grae. Think you can only wear shorts in the summer? Turn a summer staple into transeasonal wear by layering them with jumpers, knitwear, cardigans, hoodies and vests. A scarf will add even more warmth on cold days.

HOW LONG ARE WOMEN’S SHORTS?
In shapes and styles to suit every body from size 6 to 24, you’ll look and feel great in regular sizes and women’s plus size shorts in mid length and knee length designs.
The inner leg length of mid length shorts and knee length shorts varies a little depending on the design. Grae mid length shorts range from between 21-24cm at the inner leg seam, while knee length shorts can span about 31-36cm.
Try both lengths to see where you feel the most comfortable, and if you love them both you’ve got casual denim clothing covered! Pairing shorts with any new season shirts or tops is so easy with the flexibility to wear shirts and tops over the shorts or tucked in.
WHAT TOPS SHOULD YOU WEAR WITH SHORTS?
You can dramatically change the look of a pair of shorts by choosing tops in different designs and accessories like belts, shoes/sandals and jackets. Try:
- A pretty print top with ladies shorts worn either loose, tucked in or half tucked to look as fresh and carefree as you feel.
- A basic tee worn beneath a linen blend blazer and paired with matching linen blend shorts creates a sophisticated vibe.
- Add a cute belt and hat to knee length denim shorts teamed up with half tucked V neck or scoop neck tees in complementary colours and you’re set for whatever the day may bring!
- Tuck in plain long sleeve and short sleeve shirts and tops to accentuate the waistline of paperbag waist shorts and everyone will see how totally comfortable you feel.
Once you slip into a pair of leisure shorts, knee length denim shorts or elegant linen shorts you’ll discover the easy-wear benefits and the cool comfort of a beautiful pair of women’s shorts in your summer wardrobe.
