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:

  • Made from breathable 100% cotton light denim
  • Elastic waist with adjustable tie for that sweet-spot fit
  • Functional side pockets (yep, real ones)
  • Relaxed, boxy silhouette made for movement
  • Colour: Light Denim
  • 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 feature a relaxed, boxy fit with a mid-thigh length that gives you room to move without riding up. The soft elastic waistband with an adjustable drawstring means they sit comfortably on your waist (or under your bump) without digging in. Designed to feel easy and breezy on all body shapes — from size 6 to 26. Stick to your usual size for a laidback, roomy vibe.
A little TLC for your piece

🌸 How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts

Your Light Denim Matilda Shorts are easy, breezy, and made to keep up with you — from couch hangs to coffee runs. Here’s how to keep them comfy and looking fresh:

Wash me gently – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle. Turn me inside out to protect my light denim wash and keep me soft.

Stay cool – Hot washes can shrink cotton and fade denim, so cold water is your best friend.

Dry with care – Air dry flat or hang me in the shade. Please skip the tumble dryer — it can stiffen my fabric and alter my fit.

Smooth me out – A gentle steam or warm iron will take care of creases. Just avoid too much direct heat on my waistband.

Store me well – Fold me or hang me in a cool, dry place. Keep me out of long sun exposure so my denim stays light and fresh.

Matilda black shorts for the win

I love these shorts because they are so easy to style in different ways. I love a matching set with the black top but also with the red gingham . Can be dressed up and dressed down with the top and accessories .

Will never wear any other pair of shorts again

I was a bit skeptical about the matildas originally because I am a bigger thigh girly and shorts are always a hit or miss but after being obsessed with the posey pants I thought I would try. But I tell you I will never go back to wearing any other pair of shorts again. The Matilda’s are so comfy and loose enough for room but not too oversized that they look ridiculous. The material is to die for, will be buying in multiple colours!
