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: Cobalt Blue
  • Pregnancy and postpartum-friendly
  • Designed to match with our Matilda tops or anything in your wardrobe
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

Let’s talk fit
The Matilda Shorts are designed with a relaxed, roomy fit and an elastic + drawstring waist, which means there’s some lovely flexibility around sizing. They sit high-waisted and have a loose leg, so you won’t feel restricted (even after lunch).

If you’re between sizes or prefer a more oversized lounge look, you can size up. But if you like a closer fit around the waist and hips, your usual size will work just fine.

Pregnant or postpartum? These are a winner. The stretchy waistband sits comfortably over or under a bump, and the drawstring helps adjust the fit as your body changes.

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.

Fit is so nice around the waist but still has a lot of room around the legs!

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 !
