Cotton Shorts: what to know before you buy
Budget and everyday options
The cheapest cotton shorts come from DHgate, with plain and embroidered styles sitting between around A$38 and A$65, including a unisex design and a yoga-style workout set. Loombasics shorts on LightInTheBox form a consistent mid-budget tier at around A$56 to A$57, mostly elastic-waist styles in white, blue and black, available across a run of sizes from M to 3XL, with one pocketed version. These are the practical, no-frills choices if you just want comfortable cotton shorts without paying for a brand name.
Designer and premium labels
Italist carries the premium end of the market, with cotton shorts from labels such as Moschino, MSGM, Babe & Tess and Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini priced roughly between A$125 and A$270. Above that sits a higher tier including Anine Bing, Pinko and Orlebar Brown, generally running from around A$365 to A$460. At the top, Dolce & Gabbana and Balenciaga shorts are priced over A$580, reflecting their position as high-fashion pieces rather than casual basics. Styles vary from striped and logo-embroidered designs to patchwork and flared cuts.
What to check before buying
Given the spread between basic and designer listings, check whether a price reflects a plain cotton short or a branded fashion piece, since the gap is largely driven by label rather than fabric alone. For the Loombasics range, confirm the size and colour match what's listed, as options vary by letter size and shade. For Italist listings, note the brand and colour carefully, as some styles like the Orlebar Brown and Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini shorts appear more than once at different prices.
