Classic Mediterranean tailoring meets modern utility. Inspired by traditional military heritage and refined for coastal leisure, The Lido Gurkha Short features a distinctive, integrated double-button adjustable waistband that eliminates the need for a belt while creating a sharp, commanding silhouette.
Cut from a premium cotton blend with a tailored 5” inseam, these shorts sit perfectly above the knee for a modern, contemporary fit. Designed with subtle front pleats for enhanced drape and room, an elasticated back waistband for all-day comfort, and functional patch pockets, they effortlessly bridge the gap between relaxed resort wear and structured sophistication.
