Coût De La Liberté Zander Crispy Denim Baggy Short - Thames Wash

Finally, a pair of baggy shorts that actually fit my thighs without being baggy in the waist—the belt loops let me cinch it perfectly. The Thames wash gives it that lived-in look right out of the package, and the zip-fly feels solid.

The distressing on these is so well done — each fray and fade looks intentional, not like the denim got dragged down the street. The zip-fly with button closure is sturdy, and the cotton feels breathable enough for warm days. Baggy through the thigh but the hem hits just right.

The baggy fit is perfect for summer — roomy but not sloppy, and the distressed hem adds just the right amount of edge. Five pockets actually hold my phone and keys without bulging, which is rare in shorts like these.
