Billabong Buttoned Up Denim Shorts, a Modern Take on the Classic Cutoff
The Billabong Buttoned Up Denim Short takes the original cutoff silhouette and updates it with distressed denim and exposed hardware. It is built as a women's denim short with a classic 5-pocket layout and an exposed button-up fly, giving it the lived-in look people search for when they want a denim short that already feels broken in.
Fabric and Construction
These shorts are made from stretch denim, a blend of 98% cotton and 2% elastane, which gives the fabric enough give to move comfortably while keeping the structure of true denim. The cutoff hem and button front closure carry through the vintage cutoff styling, and the 5-pocket design keeps the functional details of a classic pair of jeans intact.
Everyday Wear in South Florida
Denim shorts with a bit of stretch are an easy layer for warm weather days, whether that means walking the boardwalk, running around town, or pairing with a swimsuit top on the way to and from the water. The cutoff hem and relaxed cut make them easy to move in without the shorts feeling restrictive in the heat.
Fit and Care
Because the fabric has stretch built in from the elastane content, these shorts are meant to move with you rather than needing to be broken in like rigid denim. The care instructions call for a machine wash, and the shorts are imported, so following the wash care label helps preserve the distressed detailing and button hardware over time.
