Denim Summer Shorts
Denim shorts are a true summer staple; the kind you can rely on year after year. Their versatility makes them an essential part of any warm-weather wardrobe, but this season’s upgrades take them to a whole new level. What’s different? It’s all in the fabric and construction.
Women’s denim shorts at Ballentynes Fashion Central come in ultra-light cotton blends designed specifically for New Zealand’s summer heat. The classic 5-pocket denim short keeps things timeless, while the pull-on wonder denim style delivers comfort with a lightweight feel and an easy elastic waist. Both options offer breathable, summer-ready fabrics that keep you cool without sacrificing style.
If you’re refreshing your wardrobe, these upgraded denim shorts deserve a spot at the top of your list: effortless, durable, and made for everyday summer wear.
Stretch Shorts for Summer
If you’re spending your day under the sun from running errands, travelling, or staying active outdoors, micro-stretch shorts are the summer essential you’ll be grateful for. These
fast-drying, lightweight, and flexible shorts are designed for movement, making them perfect for hot, busy days.
The pull-on style sits comfortably and flatters the hips and tummy area, giving you an easy, smooth fit without fussing with buttons or zips. Their quick-dry fabric is a standout this season, especially for beach days, coastal walks, or anything that involves sun, sand, or a splash of water.
If you want shorts that keep up with your lifestyle, micro-stretch styles are the top pick for a cool, comfortable, and active Kiwi summer.
