Reagan High Rise Trouser Shorts in Black

When you need women's high rise black shorts that transition seamlessly from polished daytime looks to casual weekend wear, the Reagan from Judy Blue are exactly what you're looking for. These aren't your typical denim shorts—they're the Alaska-tested trouser-style shorts that bring refined sophistication with the comfort of stretch denim. The saturated garment-dyed black finish creates a rich, inky color that reads cool and polished, while the coordinating button fly and functional trouser pockets elevate these beyond basic into genuinely versatile territory.

Why You'll Love the Reagan Shorts

The Reagan shorts bring thoughtful trouser-inspired design that makes them endlessly wearable. The high rise sits comfortably at your natural waist, creating a flattering, leg-lengthening silhouette. The coordinating button fly closure features matching black buttons that blend seamlessly with the saturated black denim for a cohesive, polished look. The functional trouser pockets aren't just decorative—they're genuinely useful and add to the refined aesthetic. The non-distressed finish keeps these shorts sophisticated and versatile, making them equally appropriate for lunch dates or evening gatherings. Judy Blue's signature stretch blend ensures all-day comfort without any restriction, while the fabric maintains its shape beautifully from morning to night.

Alaska-Tested Versatility

The Reagan high rise black shorts have proven their worth through Alaska's varied summer lifestyle in our boutique collection. The stretch denim moves with you during active days while the trouser-style cut keeps you looking pulled-together. The saturated black color is practical for real-world wear—it doesn't show dirt or wear the way lighter washes can, making these ideal for everything from coffee runs to outdoor gatherings. The high rise provides comfortable coverage, and the trouser pockets are genuinely functional for keys, phone, or cards. These have become favorites for customers who want shorts that feel as polished as they are comfortable.

Works Beautifully for Cool Color Palettes

The rich, inky black of the Reagan shorts makes them particularly beautiful for certain color palettes. If you have Vivid coloring, these shorts are especially flattering—the saturated, cool-toned black complements your naturally high-contrast coloring perfectly. The deep black reads refined and sleek, pairing effortlessly with crisp whites, jewel tones, and graphic tees for striking contrast. The trouser-style silhouette ensures these shorts always deliver a polished, intentional look.

Care Instructions

Machine wash cold with like colors to preserve the saturated black finish and maintain the stretch properties. Tumble dry low for best results. Turn inside out before washing to protect the garment-dyed color and coordinating button details.

Care Tip: The garment-dyed finish creates that rich, saturated black color. Washing in cold water helps maintain the deep color and prevents fading, keeping your shorts looking crisp and polished wear after wear.
