High Waisted Short Shorts

American Eagle Outfitters pays homage to summer festivals and festival culture with its festival shorts for women. Hi-rise festival shorties help you keep your style notes completely on point over a long weekend out in the sun. Whether you're checking out the band or hitting the dance floor hard in one of the DJ tents, stay cool in these on-trend shorts.

Hi-rise festival shorties are fitted through the waist and hemline for a body-con fit. The 2.75-inch inseam shows a lot of leg for fun days in the sun and nights out on the town. Lace and frayed hems play off each other in clever combos of hard and soft. Distressed denim looks plenty rock and roll, and peekaboo, lace-embellished pockets and colored denim offer even more variety. Front slant pockets and rear signature pockets keep your lip gloss and car keys on hand. If you love this length, check out our shorties for even more denim options. For a little more flow, Aerie shorts are 100 percent breezy, effortless and feminine.

Women's hi-rise shorts have a waist that settles right below the navel to embrace your curves. A touch of Spandex gives the women's hi-rise festival shortie a hint of stretch so you can move throughout the day or night. For an even more dramatic waistline, super high-rise shorties sit at your natural waist for a vintage silhouette. If you appreciate the lovingly worn-in look, try a pair of tomgirl shorts in destroyed and distressed denim.

Hi-rise festival shorties are figure flattering for your favorite summer events. Whether you're hanging at a backyard party, making your way to the beach or checking out the hottest acts on the main stage, these boho shorts may just become a summer favorite. A word of warning, though: they are so unconventional and original, you may just upstage the band.
