Pull-On

Pull-On Shorts have elastic-waist or smocked waistband construction instead of a button-fly closure — convenient for travel, lounge, and warm-weather wear. The linen options include 100% European Linen Shorts (standard + high-waisted), Cotton Linen Twill Pull On Shorts (a blend for added softness), and the 100% European Linen Skort. Organic cotton options include the Poplin Pull-On Shorts and the 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Shorts (lightweight, breathable, beach-ready). The Pull-On Tencel Chambray Shorts use Lyocell-derived fabric for a luxurious drapey hand. Performance-leaning pull-ons include SuperSoft Fleece Shorts, Flowknit Mid-Rise Shorts (designed to move with you), Micro Ripstop Mid-Rise Hike Shorts, and Organic Stretch Ripstop Shorts. The Vintage Wash Tencel Utility Shorts have an angled patch pocket detail. Lounge-leaning: Organic Heavyweight Fleece Sweatshort and CloudComfort High-Rise Sweatshorts. The 100% Washable Silk Lace Shorts are the dressiest pull-on — Mulberry silk with delicate lace trim.

A pull-on short replaces the traditional button-fly closure with an elastic, smocked, or drawstring waistband — you pull them on like leggings instead of fastening at the waist. The construction makes them more comfortable for long sitting (travel, lounging) and warm-weather wear when a fixed waistband can feel restrictive. Quince's pull-on construction varies by style: elastic waistbands on most linen and cotton options, smocked waistbands on the gauze shorts, drawstring closures on fleece styles. They're best for shoppers who want skirt or short styling without the button-fly fuss, and for shoppers who size between standard sizes — the elastic waistband accommodates body changes through the day.

Both are designed for comfort with elevated styling. The 100% Washable Silk Lace Shorts are Mulberry silk with a delicate lace trim and pull-on waistband — they feel soft and smooth against skin, and the "washable" construction means they can be machine-washed at home instead of dry-cleaned. The 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Shorts use soft, breathable cotton gauze with a comfortable elastic waistband — perfect for the beach or warm-weather everyday wear. Both work for daytime casual through dressier evening looks.

The Organic Heavyweight Fleece Sweatshort uses 375g heavyweight organic cotton fleece — plush, substantial, and warm. Best for cool-weather lounge wear or layering. The SuperSoft Fleece Shorts use Quince's proprietary SuperSoft fabric technology — lighter than the heavyweight fleece, with front pockets and a drawstring waist. The CloudComfort High-Rise Sweatshorts are buttery-soft and breathable with a flattering high-rise waist — designed for laid-back lounge or casual everyday wear without the heaviness of a true fleece short. All three are pull-on / drawstring construction.

For Tencel chambray and Tencel Utility: machine wash cool gentle, hang dry to preserve the drapey hand. For 100% Mulberry silk (Silk Lace Shorts): machine wash cold on a delicate cycle in a mesh bag, lay flat. For fleece sweatshorts (Organic Heavyweight, SuperSoft, CloudComfort): machine wash cool, tumble dry low. For ripstop styles (Micro Ripstop, Organic Stretch Ripstop): machine wash cool gentle, tumble dry low — avoid fabric softener which can coat synthetic fibers.
