Why You’ll Love It

From bed to beach and everywhere in between — the Matilda Shorts are here to make getting dressed feel like a treat, not a chore. With their easy boxy shape, elastic drawstring waist and those essential pockets (because we all need somewhere to stash snacks), these shorts are comfort with main-character energy.

Whether you're lounging hard or running errands in your slides, you'll be living in these.

Why you'll love her:

  • Soft 100% cotton fabric that breathes with you
  • Elastic waist with adjustable tie for that sweet-spot fit
  • Functional side pockets (yep, real ones)
  • Relaxed, boxy silhouette made for movement
  • Colour: Rust
  • Pregnancy and postpartum-friendly
  • Designed to match with our Matilda tops or anything in your wardrobe
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Matilda Shorts are designed to sit high-waisted with a relaxed, roomy fit through the leg. The waistband features both elastic and a functional drawstring, so you can adjust them to suit your shape and comfort level. The cut is intentionally loose to offer maximum movement and airflow (aka: no digging in, no riding up).
• True to size for a relaxed fit
• Size down if you prefer a neater fit around the waist and hips
• Generous through the thighs — great for those who like a little extra space there
• Maternity and postpartum friendly thanks to the stretchy waistband

If you’re in between sizes, we recommend choosing based on how you like your lounge shorts to fit: relaxed and breezy? Stay true. Snug and more fitted? Size down.
Love Me Long Time (Care Tips)

🌸 How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts
Your Matilda Shorts are made for lounging, living, and everything in between — here’s how to keep them looking cute and comfy:
* Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, inside out to protect my colour.
* Skip the harsh stuff – No bleach or soaking; it’ll dull my vibe.
* Air me out – Line dry in the shade; tumble drying isn’t my thing.
* Smooth me out – A warm iron or gentle steam on reverse will keep me fresh.
* Store me simple – Fold or hang, and I’ll be ready for our next adventure.

Lovely shorts

Love these! So much I’ve gone and bought multiple pairs in the same style. I sized up and picked the XXL because I’m 35 weeks pregnant and want to fit for the last few weeks and post partum. I am usually an 18, and these fit me now and will fit me well post baby as well especially with the draw string. These are super flattering !
