The inspiration behind the Papaya short was a desire for simplicity. A return to a simple garment that is easy to wear with anything to anywhere when it's too hot for pants. The Papaya features an elastic waistband, invisible side seam pockets, wide hem, and long inseam that hits mid-thigh. These wide-leg shorts look almost like a skirt with its loose and flowy shape.

The Papaya Shorts are available in cotton twill and 100% double organic cotton gauze in a separate listing.
