Our Womens Denim Shorts collection features practical warm-weather options. Quality fabrics that breathe, comfortable fits that move, and construction that handles active Australian summers.

Womens Denim Shorts That Perform

Women's denim shorts from both country and western labels, cut for a summer spent moving - whether it’s on the farm, in town or at an open air concert.

Rise and Length

Rise changes how a pair of shorts feels more than anything else about them. A high or ultra-high rise sits at the waist and stays put through bending and lifting.. A mid-rise sits a touch lower and suits anyone who finds a full high waist restrictive. Length varies enormously, and that choice is usually guided by whether you’re looking for a practical garment or a fashion one. Practical options are generally longer in length, while fashion options could be any length. The stretch or no stretch question is also a big one. Loose fitting with no stretch is fine, but if they’re a close fitting or skinny short, stretch is what gives you freedom of movement.

Washes From Light Blue to Black

The palette runs the length of the blue scale. There’s everything from incredibly light faded or light blues to dark blues and blacks. Some days, you could be excused for believing that there is some kind of unspoken competition between the brands to come up with the weirdest name for what is, essentially, a shade of denim blue. Half the time the name gives you no indication whatsoever of the actual colour of the pair of shorts in question, so your best bet is to look at the product images and go from there.  

Western Detailing Without the Bling

Several pairs carry proper western work on them rather than a plain finish. Wrangler runs with their iconic ‘W’ across their  back pockets, and usually carry a logo button. Pure Western is the go if you want something that stands out from the crowd. They tend to feature detailed, colourful embroidery, and sometimes a little bling as well.  

Elsewhere, the treatment is more restrained. Ringers Western carries the largest share of this page in plainer finishes, though seasonally they can feature detailed western stitching.  Thomas Cook sits alongside them with a slimmer-leg option from its Wonder Jean collection. If you don’t see any shorts that are blinged up enough for your liking, check out the bling jeans collection. 

Men's and Kid’ss' Denim Shorts

The same labels cut denim shorts for the rest of the family. The wider denim shorts range takes in children's sizing, and men's denim shorts sit on their own page alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

What styles of women's denim shorts are available at Allingtons?

Our women's denim shorts range from tailored, finished-hem styles to relaxed cut-offs, in high, mid and low rises and a variety of washes. You'll find everyday casual cuts as well as dressier pairs for country events, from brands like Wrangler, Pure Western and Ringers Western.

How do I choose the right rise in women's denim shorts?

The rise is how high the shorts sit on your waist. A high rise sits at or above the natural waist (flattering and great for tucking in tops); a mid rise sits just below; a low rise sits on the hips. High and mid rises are the most popular and versatile – choose based on comfort and the silhouette you prefer.

Are there women's denim shorts with stretch for extra comfort?

Yes – many of our women's denim shorts include a little elastane for stretch, which adds comfort and a closer, more flattering fit that moves with you. Look for "stretch denim" in the product description.

What length options are available in ladies' denim shorts?

We carry a range of lengths, from shorter styles for summer to mid-length and longer (Bermuda-style) shorts for more coverage. Check the leg length on the product page and choose what feels most comfortable for you.

Can women's denim shorts be dressed up for country events?

Yes – denim shorts dress up nicely for casual daytime country events. Pair a tailored pair with a nice blouse or tucked-in shirt, a belt and western boots or sandals, and add a hat. It's a relaxed but put-together summer look.

How do I find the right size in women's denim shorts when ordering online?

Compare your waist and hip measurements to the size chart on the product page, and factor in the rise and whether the denim has stretch. Rigid denim has no give, so don't size too small; stretch denim is more forgiving. Always use the brand's specific chart rather than your usual size.
