{"product_id":"emile-et-ida-denim-shorts-derek-denim-bleached","title":"Emile et Ida | Derek Denim Bermuda Short - Bleached Blue","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe EMILE ET IDA Derek Denim Bermuda short lands with a deliberate, sun-bleached nonchalance that belongs squarely in the lexicon of effortless Parisian dressing. Its defining feature is a relaxed, slightly flared cut that avoids the aggressive brevity of a traditional short, landing instead with a generous, elongated hemline that grazes the knee. This is not a scrap of fabric; it is a constructed piece of ready-to-wear that borrows its silhouette from the masculine wardrobe, then softens it through proportion and wash. The color—a faded, almost dusty blue—reads as naturally worn, as if pulled from a weekend in the South of France rather than a factory floor.\n\nThe denim itself is substantial without being rigid, offering a hand that is crisp yet yielding. There is no stiff, unforgiving hold here; rather, the fabric carries a gentle drape that follows the body’s line without clinging. The weight is considered—heavy enough to hold the flare’s shape, light enough to move with a breeze. The bleaching process has been applied unevenly, lending the surface a subtle, organic texture that catches light differently at the thigh and hem. It feels like a fabric that has already been lived in, which is precisely the point.\n\nConstruction details anchor the piece in utility. Two deep slant pockets at the front sit flush against the hip, while the back is defined by two buttoned raglan pockets—a nod to workwear heritage that adds visual weight to the rear silhouette. The closure is a solid brass button paired with a metal zipper, precise and clean. The fit is intentionally loose; the brand advises choosing based on waist size, and if between two, sizing down. This ensures the short sits at the natural waist rather than slouching off the hips, preserving the clean line of the flare from hip to hem.\n\nMovement is effortless. The flare allows for a full stride, making this a short that functions as easily on a bicycle as it does at a sidewalk café. It is a transitional piece, equally suited to the late heat of summer and the first layered days of autumn. Style it with a tucked-in cotton poplin shirt and leather sandals for a clean, architectural look, or contrast its structure with a fluid silk blouse and a woven belt. For a sharper edge, pair it with a tailored blazer and a mule—the proportions hold their own against a more structured top. This is not a casual afterthought; it is a considered foundation for a wardrobe that values ease without sacrificing silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"EMILE ET IDA","offers":[{"title":"DENIM BLEACHED \/ M","offer_id":48559815590043,"sku":"612 DEREK","price":1390.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DENIM BLEACHED \/ S","offer_id":48559815622811,"sku":"612 DEREK","price":1390.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/1730\/9339\/files\/EMILE_ET_IDA-612_DEREK-DENIM_BLEACHED_01.jpg?v=1778800185","url":"https:\/\/clemenceworld.com\/products\/emile-et-ida-denim-shorts-derek-denim-bleached","provider":"Clémence by rue Madame","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
