Shorts 331-L — dress shorts with darts and button

White dress shorts pattern with front darts and a button closure, a structured cut for summer formal and office sets.

These shorts come with a high rise, defined front darts, a button closure and fly, and structured straight legs that end above the knee. In the photo it is shown as part of a set with a sleeveless vest in the same tone.

To keep the structured cut, work them in gabardine or twill, with poplin as a lighter alternative. They sell in formal or smart-casual office set lines and pair with a vest or sleeveless blazer in the same tone. Mark the front darts carefully before sewing the waistband so the shorts keep their straight drape.
