You may have traded swinging on a rope hung from the barn rafters for more adult pursuits, but that doesn't mean you still can't enjoy a short like you wore back then, the Carhartt Women's Tomboy Short. But although this longer-cut denim short is very similar in spirit, it boasts some sophisticated details like a rolled cuff with a side button tab.
These fit true to size and are great for cooler summer days or conservative dressers. The only downside is the rolled cuff is a little tight on the thigh because the short isn't fully flared at the bottom, still wearable though.
