Plus-size short designs fit for every woman

Introducing the ZARA Women’s Plus-Size Shorts Collection—a versatile and fashion-forward edit designed to empower every silhouette with comfort, style, and confidence. Whether you're curating a casual daytime look, dressing for the office, or preparing for an elegant evening, this collection offers a wide range of shorts and skorts tailored to suit every occasion and personal preference.

From sporty jogging-style shorts to sleek tailored designs and co-ord sets, the collection embraces diversity in both form and function. Casual denim shorts come in various washes and weights, offering everything from lightweight styles to structured, fashion-forward cuts. Our flattering Bermuda cuts provide a longer length with a refined edge, ideal for transitional dressing. Tailored shorts bring polish to your wardrobe, perfect for pairing with other items in our range, such as women’s plus-size jackets, for a smart, layered ensemble. Additionally, our collection includes various skort designs, combining the femininity of a skirt with the practicality of shorts, which are a standout option for those seeking movement and elegance in one piece.

Silhouettes are thoughtfully designed to accommodate every body type and style preference. Choose from low-rise cuts for a laid-back vibe or high-waist styles that offer definition and support. Curvy shapes are celebrated with designs that contour and flatter, while contemporary geometric styles add a modern twist to classic silhouettes. Whether you prefer a relaxed fit or a more structured profile, each piece is crafted to allow you to move freely and enhance your assets.

Fabric selection is key to the collection’s versatility. Plush knits offer softness and stretch for off-duty comfort, while structured tailoring delivers crisp lines and a refined finish. Flowing fabrics bring lightness and ease, ideal for warmer days or layered styling. Sturdy denim remains a staple, reimagined in fresh silhouettes and finishes—from distressed to dark rinse—for a modern take on a timeless classic. Natural fibres like cotton and linen provide breathability and durability, while satin and textured options add a touch of luxury to your wardrobe.

Detailing elevates each design with distinctive touches such as comforting elasticated waists, pleated fronts, belted waists, multi-pocket functionality, ripped edges, turned hems, and contrast stitching. Decorative elements such as buckles, studs, beaded drawstrings, and tied waistlines add personality and polish, ensuring every pair of shorts feels unique and expressive. Patterns including stripes, polka dots, and embroidery offer additional styling opportunities, allowing you to mix and match with ease.

The colour palette spans everyday must-haves and bold statements. Classic shades like black, white, grey, and navy offer timeless versatility, while vibrant hues such as pink, burgundy, red, green, and yellow inject energy and playfulness into your look. Pair these shorts with one of our oversized T-shirts and leather boots for a laid-back impression, or opt for high heels and a blazer for a sophisticated look.

Whether you're dressing for comfort, confidence, or celebration, the Women’s Plus-Size Shorts Collection by Zara offers elevated staples that combine inclusive sizing with fashion-forward design. Explore the collection and find your perfect fit.
