Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult women seeking comfortable, stylish denim shorts with a modern fit. The key benefit is the blend of classic design with contemporary high-waist and slightly relaxed thigh elements for easy, everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the 'wider thigh' fit may not suit those preferring an extremely slim silhouette. The Lee Carol Short Screen Saver offers a timeless aesthetic with a flattering high-rise waist, a comfortable, slightly looser fit through the thighs, and a classic button fly closure. Crafted from durable cotton denim, these shorts are designed for versatility and lasting wear.

FAQs
What does 'Screen Saver' refer to in the product name?
The 'Screen Saver' likely refers to a specific wash or finish applied to the blue denim, suggesting a clean, possibly slightly faded or matte appearance rather than a high-gloss finish.
Are these shorts stretchy?
These shorts are made from 100% cotton denim, which typically does not have stretch. They are designed for a comfortable, relaxed fit rather than a form-fitting, stretchy feel.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the product's sizing chart, paying close attention to the waist measurement for the 'Size Mens Waist UK 28' specification. Compare your measurements to the chart for the best fit.
Can I wear these for active pursuits?
The wider thigh fit offers good mobility for casual activities. However, for highly strenuous activities, their lack of stretch might be a limiting factor.
What kind of tops pair well with these shorts?
Due to the high waist and relaxed thigh, they pair well with fitted tops, t-shirts, blouses, and sweaters that can be tucked in or are cropped to emphasize the waistline.
What is the rise of these shorts?
The description indicates a 'high waist', meaning the rise is designed to sit at or above the natural waistline.
How should I care for the blue denim color?
Wash inside out in cold water with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or line dry. This helps to preserve the original color and prevent premature fading.
Troubleshooting
Fit is too loose in the thigh.
While designed with a wider thigh, consider pairing with tops that balance the silhouette, or explore if other Carol Short variants offer a slimmer fit.
Button fly is stiff.
Work the buttons gently with each wear. For immediate ease, a wax candle or bar soap can be rubbed lightly on the buttonholes.
Color fades unevenly.
Ensure you are washing inside out in cold water with like colors and avoiding bleach. Air drying can also help maintain color consistency.
