Dakota Pleated Linen-Blend Shorts

Despite their expert hand-drapery, nothing at the hands of Australian designers Kathryn Forth and Julia Ritorto never appears too try-hard. Such is the endless appeal of their label, which returns this season in their effortless (yet-no-less-hardworking) style.

Cut from an airy linen-blend, the 'Dakota' shorts have a utilitarian-inspired silhouette with a pleated high waist that cinches with a D-ring belt. Try it with a crisp button-down to mirror the lookbook styling.
