1930s Pleated Shorts
Aqua
1930s inspired shorts from The House of Foxy
Back again - a vintage favorite for your summer wardrobe
The iconic 1930s inspired shorts from The House of Foxy are finally back - and they're just as charming as you remember them. With their authentic cut and fine details, they are a must-have for any vintage lover dreaming of a classic and feminine summer look.
The shorts are inspired by original 1930s patterns and vintage sportswear - including the iconic tennis shorts - giving them a nostalgic and elegant look. The deep pleats all the way around create a beautiful, wide silhouette almost reminiscent of a skirt, while still being practical and comfortable.
They sit at the waist and close with a beautiful asymmetrical button closure on the side - a nice detail that emphasizes the authentic vintage look. Made from a natural blend of ramie and cotton, the material has a lightweight, breathable and exclusive feel with a linen-like texture - perfect for warm days.
Style them with the matching sailor top in the same material for a complete and irresistible 1930s look - ideal for summer days, vacations and vintage events.

Why we love 1930s Pleated Shorts in Aqua
The material
The material gives the trousers structure and a beautiful drape, making them both wearable and refined.
How to style them
Style them with a feminine blouse, a shirt or a soft cardigan. Add a belt to define the waist and bring the look together.
Fit note
High-waisted trousers should sit comfortably at the waist and fall nicely over the hips and legs. If you are between sizes, check the measurements on the individual style.
Questions about fit, styling, and silhouette
Are you unsure about size, body shape, or how to style your trousers? Here, we've gathered the most important answers about fit, silhouette, and vintage-inspired trousers to help you more easily find the pair that best suits you.
Measure your waist and hip, and compare with the size guide on the product. High-waisted styles should typically fit snugly at the waist, but still allow room over the hip and thigh.
Yes. Vintage-inspired trousers and jeans often have a higher waist and a more defined fit than modern styles. They are designed to emphasize the waist and create a feminine silhouette.
If the product has no stretch, we generally recommend choosing based on your precise measurements and not going too small. If the product has stretch, there may be a bit more flexibility in the fit.
Style them with shirts, tie-blouses, T-shirts or cardigans. Tuck the top into your trousers or tie the shirt at the waist to emphasize the high-waisted vintage silhouette.
No. Our trousers, jeans, and shorts are newly produced styles inspired by vintage and retro fashion. They are not second-hand or original vintage finds.
