Nova Shorts | Black Elasticated Waist Relaxed Mini Shorts for Women

The Nova Shorts are the effortless black shorts that earn their name — a relaxed, flowing elasticated waist mini short in smooth matte black that moves beautifully, fits comfortably, and looks completely put-together with minimal effort. The essential casual short for every warm Australian day.

The elasticated gathered waistband is the construction detail that makes the Nova shorts genuinely wearable across every body type and every day — stretching comfortably to fit, the gathering creating a soft, flattering waist detail that sits at a high-rise position without any restriction, boning, or structured closure. Simply pull on, adjust, and go. The relaxed slightly A-line silhouette falls from the gathered waist with a fluid, easy drape through the leg — not tight, not oversized, but effortlessly in between. The high mid-thigh length is confident and modern — the perfect length for beach days, coastal markets, weekend brunches, and warm summer evenings alike.

The smooth matte black fabric has a beautiful, clean quality — structured enough to hold the relaxed silhouette without drooping, fluid enough to move easily and drape naturally in warm weather. Black means the Bondi works with literally every top in your wardrobe — white, cream, coloured prints, stripes, and solid tones all work equally well against the clean black ground.

Style with a white linen or cotton cami and flat tan sandals for the most effortless beach-to-café look. Add a fitted black crop top for a monochrome evening look. Pair with the Blair Top square-neck crop for a polished casual outfit.
