The Zadie Mid-Rise Tummy Control Distressed Denim Shorts

Zadie has that easy summer energy that makes getting dressed feel simple.

The wash gives it character. The distressing keeps it casual. The fit still gives you the smoothing support you want through the midsection. It is relaxed, flattering, and just undone enough to make a basic outfit feel more styled.

These are mid-rise denim shorts with built-in tummy control, comfortable stretch, and a bold rock indigo wash with heavy fading for added dimension. Designed to sit at or just below the natural waist, they balance support and ease with distressed thigh details and a frayed hem that keeps the overall look laid back.

Feels like: Stretch denim with support where you want it.
Looks like: Lived-in summer shorts that make even a simple tee feel more intentional.
