The Mel Milaana Cotton Drawstring Shorts are the easy, breezy warm-weather shorts you will reach for all season long. Made from 100% cotton double gauze, these lightweight cotton shorts have that soft, airy, lived-in texture that feels relaxed from the very first wear. They are comfortable, flowy, and effortless — exactly the kind of piece that works for beach days, summer travel, casual lounging, market strolls, festival weekends, and everyday boho outfits.
Designed in a one size fits most silhouette, these women’s cotton drawstring shorts feature an easy elastic waist, adjustable drawstring tie, relaxed leg shape, and side pockets. The double gauze cotton gives them a breathable, slightly crinkled texture with a natural linen-look feel, but with the softness and ease of cotton. They are a perfect option if you love lightweight summer clothing, boho basics, hippie clothing, cotton lounge shorts, or comfortable vacation outfits that still feel pulled together.
For the easiest matching set, pair them with the Sahana Sleeveless Cotton Top. Together, they create a relaxed cotton two piece set that feels simple, polished, and perfect for hot days. It is the kind of outfit you can wear at home, pack for vacation, throw on after the beach, or style with jewelry and sandals for an easy, casual day out.
Looking for a longer version with the same soft, gauzy feel? Try the Mel Milaana Pants for a flowy full-length option. The shorts are great when you want something cooler and more playful, while the pants give you a little more coverage with the same relaxed, breathable cotton vibe.
These also style beautifully with the Chandani Cotton Pleated Button Tunic for a casual, layered look, or with the Chandani Cotton Camp Tunic for an oversized, easy lounge outfit. Wear them as a matching set, mix them with printed tops, pair them with tie dye clothing, or build your own outfit from our solids collection, mix and match styles, and summer clothing favorites.
Simple, breathable, and endlessly wearable, the Mel Milaana Cotton Drawstring Shorts are a staple for anyone who loves relaxed bohemian clothing, comfortable cotton basics, and easy summer outfits that do not feel overdone.
