Women's Shorts

Shorts are one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe, and NYDJ makes it easy to put together a look you love. For a classic, effortless outfit, pair denim shorts with a tucked-in Pintuck Blouse or a relaxed Popover Top for that perfect casual-chic balance. Bermuda shorts in stretch linen or twill look incredibly polished with a fitted tee or a sleeveless blouse, making them a great option for days when you want to look put-together without much effort. If you are wearing a relaxed or boyfriend fit, balance the proportions with a more fitted top. For a fun, coordinated look, try one of our matching blouse and short sets, which take all the guesswork out of getting dressed. Finish with sandals or loafers and you are ready for whatever the day brings.

Understanding the different lengths and fits makes it so much easier to find your perfect pair. Here is a simple guide:
Bermuda shorts hit at or just above the knee, making them the most coverage-friendly and versatile option. They are ideal for work, travel, or any occasion where you want a more polished, put-together look.
11-inch shorts, like our Briella styles, sit at mid-thigh and are a classic everyday length. They are casual and comfortable without being too short, making them a great all-around choice for weekends, errands, and warm-weather outings.
Relaxed and boyfriend fits offer a looser, more laid-back silhouette with a slightly longer inseam and a roomier cut through the hip and thigh. These are perfect if you love a casual, effortless feel and pair beautifully with fitted tops to balance proportions.

When choosing your length, think about the occasion and what makes you feel most comfortable and confident. No matter what you choose, every NYDJ short is designed to fit and flatter beautifully.

Absolutely. The key to making shorts work in a business casual setting is choosing the right length and fabric. Our Bermuda shorts are the perfect starting point, with their longer, more tailored hemline that strikes a professional yet relaxed note. Styles in stretch twill, stretch linen, or our Sculpt-Her Vegan Stretch Leather are particularly polished and office-appropriate. Pair Bermuda shorts with a structured blouse like the Tuxedo Blouse or Trinity Blouse, add a blazer or the Meredith Ponte Knit Jacket, and step into loafers or block-heeled sandals for a look that feels sharp and confident. It is smart dressing made effortless.

The best shorts for you are the ones that make you feel confident and comfortable, and at NYDJ we design every fit with every woman in mind. Here is a simple guide to help you find your perfect match:
If you love to show off your waist, a high rise fit is your best friend. Our high rise styles sit at the natural waist, creating a smooth, flattering line and a beautifully defined silhouette. Pair with a tucked-in blouse to really highlight your shape.
If you want a balanced, elongated look, Bermuda shorts are a brilliant choice. Their longer length creates a clean, streamlined silhouette from hip to hem, making them incredibly flattering for a wide range of body types. They work especially well if you prefer more coverage and a polished finish.
If you have curves you love to celebrate, a relaxed or boyfriend fit gives you room to move comfortably while still looking chic and put-together. Balance the roomier fit through the hip and thigh with a fitted or tucked top for a proportional, stylish look.
If you are petite, a shorter inseam like our 11-inch styles will help elongate your legs and keep proportions feeling light and balanced. Pairing with a cropped or tucked top helps create the illusion of length.
Whatever your shape or size, NYDJ shorts are available in regular, plus, petite, and petite plus sizing, so every woman can find a fit that feels made just for her.
