The black high-waist denim shorts are described with decorative sashes and a zipper fly. A sash can change the visual waistline, but the page does not say it replaces the zipper or changes the waistband’s actual size. Choose the fit at the closed waistband and seat first; treat the sash as styling until its function is confirmed.

Measure where the shorts close

On shorts you own, fasten the zip and measure the top edge flat, then double that figure for a waistband circumference. Separately record the widest seat, front rise and inseam; a high-waist label does not supply any of those measurements. The current selector runs S through 4XL, yet the text only tells you to consult a size chart and gives no product-specific finished chart. Ask for one for the exact option, including where the waist is measured. A larger size may add room at the seat and leg as well as at the waist, so it is not a simple substitute for an adjustable sash.

The description identifies black denim and says cotton, with “100% cotton” in its prose, but no photograph of the care label or shrinkage measurements. If exact composition or after-wash fit matters, request the label and care instructions. The “regular fit” phrase is also too broad to establish thigh room; compare the finished leg opening with a pair that lets you sit comfortably. None of these checks requires guessing a size from the model styling.
