Stolen from your boyfriend on the Amalfi Coast. Candy stripe cotton. Lace trim that finishes everything.

The Gelato Shorts are the piece that turns the simplest outfit into the most photographed one in the group chat. A lightweight striped cotton in candy stripe — powder blue, cherry red, or kelly green — with a delicate scalloped lace trim at the hem, a soft drawstring waist with contrast tie, and a relaxed boxer cut that sits high on the hip. Pair them with a white tank for the morning espresso, layer them under a linen shirt for the boat day, wear them as-is for the dinner that turns into a long Italian evening.

Why you'll love them:

• Real lace, not glued-on ribbon — most striped shorts at this price use synthetic trim that peels off in the wash. The Gelato's scalloped edge is sewn directly into the seam, so it stays put through every spin cycle and every Mediterranean afternoon.
• The kind of piece that makes the whole outfit fun — slip them on with a white tee and you read like you woke up in Positano, pair them with a linen shirt and you read like the friend who always finds the best gelato place, wear them with a slip top and suddenly the dinner is a moment.
• Drawstring waist that adjusts to you, not the other way around — the soft cotton ties to your fit instead of fighting it, the elasticated band sits comfortably high on the hip, and there's no awkward bunching when you sit down on a vespa or a sunbed.
• Three colorways that pack like one — powder blue for the coastal pull, cherry red for the playful statement, kelly green for the unexpected favorite. Bring all three on the trip, wear a different one every day, and never feel like you packed wrong.
• Loved by 100k+ women worldwide — because finding striped boxer shorts with real lace trim, three colorways, and that pajama-but-make-it-fashion energy at this price is rare.
