"Not too tight, not too big, not too long — absolutely perfect. Thank you from a busy mum of 3 still trying to find her style 3 years postpartum. ❤️"

Paige Doevendans Verified Buyer

"I have never found shorts that have fit me this well. The elastic waist fits my smaller waist and the legs sit beautifully over my hips. Got the matching Florence Top and love wearing it as a set!"

Tenille Verified Buyer

Why You’ll Love It

From bed to brunch to beach, the Matilda Shorts are here for every part of your day. Designed in our dreamy Garden Breeze print, these relaxed-fit lounge shorts are all about easy-breezy comfort with a touch of everyday style.

Featuring a tie-and-elastic waist for the perfect fit (hello, comfort), roomy functional pockets for all your bits and bobs, and a lightweight feel that’s perfect for warm days or layering over swimwear. Whether you’re lounging at home or heading out for coffee, these shorts are ready for it all.

Why you’ll love them:

  • Tie & elastic waist for an adjustable, comfy fit
  • Functional pockets (because life without pockets is a crime)
  • Relaxed boxy fit for ultimate ease
  • Crafted in our exclusive Garden Breeze print
  • Made in PRC

Pair them with the matching top for a co-ord moment or throw on a tee for an effortless, laid-back look.
How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

The Matilda Shorts are designed with a relaxed, boxy fit that sits comfortably on the body without feeling restrictive. The elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring allows you to customise the fit to your preference, whether you like them worn high on the waist or a little lower on the hips. The loose leg opening gives them an easy, breezy feel, making them perfect for warm days, lounging, or layering over swimwear. True to size for a relaxed fit — size down if you prefer a more fitted look.
A little TLC for your piece

🌸 How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts

Your Matilda Shorts in Garden Breeze are breezy, comfy, and made for everything from bed to brunch to beach days. Here’s how to keep them fresh and ready to wear on repeat:

Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle is perfect. Turn me inside out to protect my fibres and print.

Stay cool – Hot washes can shrink or fade me, so always stick with cold water.

Dry with care – Air dry flat or hang me in the shade. Please skip the tumble dryer — I like to keep my relaxed fit and bright print.

Smooth me out – A warm iron or gentle steam will bring me back to life if I wrinkle.

Store me well – Fold me or hang me in a cool, dry place. Keep me out of direct sunlight so my Garden Breeze print stays vibrant.

✨ Pro tip: With a little TLC in the wash, I’ll be your bed-to-brunch-to-beach shorts for many summers to come.

Stylish mumma

My first ever purchase from TLC. From a casual Tee and suck me in black tights to stylish mumma. I pair these Matilda shorts with Lacey Shirt | Boots & Badges. My confidence is slowly coming back, I get so many compliments in it and it’s so comfortable to wear.

Comfy and stylish

These shorts are a summer staple!
The rayon fabric is super breathable and soft, and I’ve not had to iron them yet, which is always a win to me. When paired with the Lacey shirt, it’s a stylish set, comfortable and the fit is relaxed without looking sloppy.
Super comfy, great quality and I absolutely recommend!
I have them in the blue crepe, mulberry seersucker and now the sandbar stripe!
