Shorts & Skirts

The most common question in this category: does the length run as shown in photos, or shorter once it's actually on? Shorts and skirts photograph differently than they fit, a hem that looks mid-thigh on a model can sit higher depending on your height and rise. This page sorts everything by length first, fit second, because that's the order it actually matters in.

Shop by length

Mini. Shortest length in the collection, sits above mid-thigh. The Parke Mini Skirt runs true to size through the waist, but check the length against your height before ordering if you're under 5'4", it will sit shorter than shown on a taller model.

Bermuda. Falls just above the knee, the most forgiving length in the line for everyday wear. The Parke Bermuda Short has more room through the thigh than other cuts here, so it's the better pick if you find fitted shorts uncomfortable.

Midi. Falls below the knee, closer to a straight cut through the hip than a flare. Runs slightly long, petite frames may want to hem rather than size down.

Shop by fit

High-rise styles sit at or above the natural waist and tend to stay put without a belt. Low-rise styles sit lower on the hip and run looser through the leg opening, which means more breathing room but also more movement if you're active in them.

How to choose

Bermuda if you want the safest length to order without worrying about how short it sits. Mini if you've already checked the length against your height. Midi if you want more coverage without sacrificing a fitted waist. Whichever you pick, check the size chart on the product page before ordering, length is listed in inches and worth comparing against something you already own.

New lengths and prints land regularly. If your size or length isn't here yet, check back, this collection turns over often. Or browse all parke sweatshirts to shop the rest of the range.
