The queen of all things Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow never misses when it comes to an effortlessly stylish fit. She recently romped around Napoli, Italy in a tie-neck blouse, structured white shorts, and a pair of low, pointed-toe heels. Our biggest takeaway? The “it” style of this summer is a high-waisted, pleated short that hits around the mid-thigh. Step aside jorts.

While we think Paltrow’s pair may be the $650 Technical Mesh Shorts by Max Mara (or a similar style), we tracked down an affordable alternative at Amazon for a fraction of the cost. Grab the Feiersi Tailored Wide Leg Shorts while they’re still on sale for $24.

Similar to Paltrow’s pair, these shorts showcase visual appeal via pleating that runs down the front of each leg. Shoppers agree the wide-leg design is a bonus: “I have a problem finding shorts that aren’t suctioned to my legs,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “[These ones] don’t hug my legs.”
The shorts are fastened with a concealed zipper and buckle at the front — but without restriction, thanks to the elastic waistband at the back. In one review, a 5-foot-4-inch-tall shopper shared that, “The stretchy waistband makes them super comfortable, and they’re really very flattering.”
As we all know, having a breezy pair of shorts during the summertime is indispensable. “I love that the material is lightweight and quick-drying,” shared a buyer who appreciates the shorts’ breathability during Texas summers.
Unlike a pair of Daisy Dukes, these shorts offer plenty of versatility. For a dressier look, follow in Paltrow’s steps by tucking in a flowy blouse and elongating your legs with a pair of tan kitten heels. Otherwise, these would make for a fashionable coverup over a halterneck one-piece swimsuit, like Mandy Moore recently wore.
