Darong Striped Shorts Set

The cotton in this set has a soft, dry hand, the kind that warms up fast against skin. Stripes run through the knit rather than sitting on top of it. Pull the fabric and it gives, then settles back, so the shape you start the day with is the shape you end with.

The slim fit sits close, which is the point here: this is a set for lounging, not for swimming around in. We draft it on the same block as the rest of the range, so your size behaves the way it does everywhere else on the shelf. Add the sleeveless top from the range in the other colourway, and the drawstring waist and side-seam pockets carry the rest. $36.99.

The Striped Shorts Set is sized S to XL from $36.99, and where a size is missing from a shade the table says so rather than leaving you to find out at checkout.

Size charts are a starting point, not a promise. Body measurements vary between people of the same height and weight, knit fabrics move differently on different frames, and a measurement taken over clothing reads larger than one taken against the body. Measure yourself with a soft tape held level and snug, compare those numbers with the chart rather than with the size you usually buy, and where you fall between two sizes, decide by how you want the garment to sit rather than by the label.

How to measure for this

Fabric: Cotton.

A hot dryer is the one thing that shortens the life of the striped shorts set: wash cold, dry flat, and the cuffs and hem stay where they were cut.
