    Shorts in Charcoal

    I ordered these shorts to go with a black linen top but it's not going to work. The shorts are truly a gray color. However, the fit and style is great and I am going to exchange for another color. Please make them in a true black.

    Really lovely shorts. Well made, soft floaty linen. Will last a long time so worth the slightly higher price.

    Perfect, comfortable shorts

    These shorts are perfect. Usually I find only denim shorts look right on me, but they’re just too hot to comfortably wear in 30C+ temperatures.

    I’m usually a UK14 but the size M fit like a glove.

    Customer services were extremely helpful when I had a sizing query prior to ordering, confirming that the Mae shorts are the same cut as the Sadhu trousers which was very helpful.

    I’d love it if these shorts came in more colourways - blush pink and terracotta options would be lovely!
