90s vintage green esprit sport pleated long cotton shorts – medium, 28” waist | bright wide leg mom cut bermuda shorts

this colorful pair of vintage green shorts (~28” waist) from the 90s are timeless, versatile and super comfortable! the shorts feature a high-rise silhouette, are a longer “mom” length hitting around the knee, and they are slightly tailored into a wide leg for a relaxed and laid-back look. the shorts have a pleated front, belt loops, two side hip pockets and one back pocket, and they fasten at the front with a button and zipper waist. they are made of a lightweight 100% cotton and are unlined. kindly note, the shorts do not come with the silver chain belt that they are styled with in the pictures.

I love that these shorts have such a classic and simple design but the green adds a retro feel and a pop of color!
