Vintage Liz Claiborne Classic Fit Denim Shorts – Tagged 10 (Fits Like a Modern 6–8)
Product Details
These vintage Liz Claiborne denim shorts are the definition of throwback structure and everyday ease. Originally full-length jeans, they've been custom cut into a wide-leg short with a raw hem and a medium vintage wash. Built from 100% cotton with no stretch, they hold their shape while softening with wear—offering a structured, classic fit that flatters and lasts.
Though labeled a size 10, these run smaller than today's standards and best fit a modern US women’s size 6–8, depending on your body shape. The high-rise waist and relaxed leg offer balance and comfort for those who like a non-stretch hold through the waist with room at the thigh.
