Shorts in Size 12

For a casual daytime look, combine denim shorts size 12 with a simple tee and white trainers. Swap in a linen shirt or lightweight blouse for a smarter vibe at brunch. In the evening, a tailored pair with a silken top and heeled sandals can elevate your outfit. For sports casual, cycling shorts size 12 worn with a cropped hoodie or moisture‑wicking tee are comfortable for gym days or weekend adventures. Accessorise with a belt, a cross‑body bag and sunglasses for an effortlessly put‑together look.

Spring: Lightweight cotton or linen blends with a cardigan or denim jacket create a chic transitional look. Summer: Cool, breathable fabrics in natural shades pair with sandals or espadrilles for sunny days. Autumn: Tailored shorts paired with opaque tights and a knit jumper for a smart-cosy vibe. Winter (at home or mild days): Velvet or heavier fabrics with a warm jumper keep you comfortable indoors or on milder outdoor days.

For a pared‑back look, neutrals like black, navy, sand and ivory are reliable. To add colour, pastel shades or richer earthy tones work well with denim or linen. Stradivarius size 12 shorts come in a range of materials including cotton, linen, denim, cotton‑blend twill and lightweight jersey. Textures vary from smooth to softly brushed finishes, with details such as cuffs, pleats or subtle hardware to elevate your style. All versions are designed with comfort in mind, featuring soft linings and durable stitching for everyday wear.

• If the cut runs small, try a size up for a relaxed yet tidy silhouette.
• Choose mid‑rise or high‑rise styles to minimise ride and create a longer leg line.
• Look for shorts with a smooth waistband, soft linings and breathable fabrics to stay comfortable all day.
• If you have athletic calves or wider hips, consider a relaxed or straight fit to avoid pinching.

Size guide and fit notes

To ensure an accurate fit for shorts in size 12, measure waist and hip circumference and compare with Stradivarius size chart. If you fall between sizes, check the cut: high‑waisted styles may feel snug at the waist but looser at the hip, while mid‑rise cuts can offer a more balanced fit. When in doubt, try a couple of different styles to see what complements your shape best.

• Cotton and linen: Machine wash cold with like colours; air dry to preserve drape.
• Denim: Turn inside out, wash on gentle cycle, iron on medium heat if needed.
• Velvet or special trims: Hand wash or gentle cycle; avoid high heat to maintain nap and texture.

• Relaxed fits with clean lines remain popular for everyday comfort.
• High‑waisted silhouettes with subtle pleats offer a flattering shape.
• Belted waists, natural fabrics and earthy tones keep styling versatile.
• Denim remains a staple, with distressed finishes and mid‑length hems for modern edge.

Flat or mid‑heel sandals paired with lightweight tops create a modern, easygoing look. For smarter days, add a blazer over a simple blouse and finish with loafers or sleek trainers. If you’re heading out for a relaxed gathering, try a printed top with Bermuda or tailored shorts to balance proportions. Accessories such as a belt, a small cross‑body bag and a sunhat can complete your look with a refined touch.

Spring: Light knit layers with neutral shorts create a fresh, leg‑lengthening effect. Summer: Breathable fabrics in pale tones with sandals or canvas trainers for optimal comfort. Autumn: A knit cardigan and smarter shorts with opaque tights offer warmth and polish. Winter (at home): An oversized sweater and cosy fleece shorts for lounging in style.

Absolutely. In 2026, versatile cuts, high‑waisted designs and durable fabrics continue to be on trend. Denim washes, linen blends and tailored silhouettes remain essential, with subtle detailing such as belt loops or functional pockets ensuring both form and function stay on point. Shorter hems and longer lines can be mixed for contemporary looks that suit a range of occasions.

Shorts with a soft waistband, lightweight fabrics and a forgiving cut offer the best comfort for everyday wear.
