Women's Shorts & Skirts

When the warmer weather comes out to play, it’s time to say goodbye to jeans and pants - and say hello to David Jones’ range of women’s shorts and skirts. Available in a range of colours, style and prints, you’ll be sure to find the perfect style for you. If you’re a fitness fanatic, you can work up a sweat at the gym with our range of sporty shorts that mix functionality and fashion. Look to brands like P.E Nation and The Upside for a fashionable twist on the classics.

Tighter styles are great for biking and yoga, while looser styles are better for exercise that requires a lot of movement. In the warmer weather, keep it casual with loose-fitted summery shorts or a tennis skirt - perfect for the beach and casual daywear.  If you’ve chosen a printed style, or a bright coloured hue, keep the rest of the outfit understated by pairing it with a plain top or tee. We have a range of timeless denim shorts too, allowing you to create a classically simple yet chic look. A classic, wear-with-anything piece is the humble denim skirt, and over the years it has clearly stood the test of time. Forever in fashion, a denim skirt looks just as good at the beach as it does at brunch on the weekends. Look to faded, distressed styles or keep it fresh with a mid-wash hue. Try adding an oversized blazer and heels to take your look from day to night. If you’re looking for the perfect skirt for your 9-5, dress up a utility skirt or linen skirt for a laid-back take on casual Friday style. Try a maxi skirt for a classic summer look. Long skirts offer a touch of femininity and suit both tall and smaller frames.
