ELIZABETH SHORTS
A tailored women's short should hold the same standard as a tailored pair of trousers. The same fabric, the same construction, the same attention to every seam and pocket. Lindsay Nicholas named this one after her sister, Elizabeth, and gave it the Super 120's tropical-weight wool.
Eight colourways, with pockets. A silhouette that sits above the knee with the precision of suiting and the ease of a warmer month. These are women's suit shorts for the woman who refuses to lower her standard when the temperature rises.
The Elizabeth Shorts Collection
The Elizabeth Short in Black Tropical Weight Wool is the anchor. The shade that pairs with everything and matches the Elizabeth Jacket for a full short suit for women. The Elizabeth Short in Steel Blue Pinstripe and the Midnight Blue offer two different takes on blue, one with a pattern, one solid.
The Elizabeth Short in Chocolate Prince of Wales Plaid and the Grey and Burgundy Plaid bring heritage patterns with warm, grounded tones. The Classic Red is for the woman who wants her Elizabeth shorts to speak first. And the Khaki Camo and Black Camo add an unexpected edge to a tailored silhouette.
How to Style Your Elizabeth Shorts
The short suit is the sharpest move. Pair the Black with the matching Elizabeth Jacket and a Tuxedo Blouse tucked in for a look that carries the same authority as a full trouser suit. The Steel Blue Pinstripe with its matching jacket and a Bow Blouse for Women creates a coordinated set with rock-chic energy.
For something more relaxed, wear the Chocolate Plaid with a Poet Blouse for women in Leopard and a flat sandal. The Classic Red with a simple black top and a pointed-toe heel is an outfit that needs nothing else. Layer a Wellesley Sweater over the Khaki Camo and add ankle boots to extend the season into early autumn.
Complete the look with a piece from the Fire Horse Collection or an accessory that carries the same intention.
Why Tropical Weight Wool Works for Shorts
Most short Elizabeth pieces on the market are cut from cotton or linen. Lindsay chose Super 120's tropical-weight wool because it does what lighter fabrics cannot. It breathes in warm weather without wrinkling, holding its tailored shape from morning to evening. And it drapes with enough weight to feel like suiting rather than casual wear. Whether you pair it with the Elizabeth Jacket, top, or Vest, the wool stays consistent, so everything works together without effort.
Every pair is constructed in workshops that meet strict ethical compliance standards.
