Our adjustable cotton poplin shorts give you the flexibility to adjust the waist size through hidden poppers under the waistband, so you can cinch in or let out, depending on how your body feels day-to-day (or hour by hour!). Waistband adjusters mean you can always get the perfect fit.
Crafted from cotton pique, the shorts feature flattering pleats, extra room in the inner thigh to prevent chafing and a dropped crotch for comfort when sitting. Deep front pockets and a slanted inner pocket keep essentials, such as your phone, secure.
Manufactured in London in collaboration with Making for Change, our summer collection is made by a team that works flexibly, is paid a living wage and works in safe conditions.
We produce responsibly and minimise waste by making in small batches, here in London.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know About The Female Archetypes
Adjustable clothing is designed to change with your body and your lifestyle. At The Female Archetypes, our pieces are made to accommodate you. The trench, shirt, and blazer feature discreet side panels that can be buttoned or zipped in and out, allowing you to adapt the fit without changing the look. Similarly, our jeans use built-in pleats that expand or contract as needed. All of our adjustments are invisible, giving you seamless style with flexibility, comfort, and freedom, clothes that fit you, not the other way around.
Functional fashion is about more than style; it’s about clothes that support you in everyday life. Unlike traditional fashion, which often prioritises looks over comfort, functional fashion combines design with purpose: adaptability, durability, and ease of wear. At The Female Archetypes, our pieces are designed to adapt with you, whether through adjustable fits or timeless designs that work across various occasions. Choosing functional fashion means investing in clothes that support you through life’s changes while reducing waste and promoting conscious consumption.
At The Female Archetypes, we believe sustainability starts with designing fewer, better pieces. Our clothes are timeless and adjustable, meaning they adapt to women’s changing bodies and lives, reducing the need for constant new purchases. We produce in small batches to avoid waste, use responsible materials wherever possible, and prioritise quality so each garment lasts for years. To us, sustainability is not just about fabrics; it’s about creating fashion that respects women and the planet by encouraging conscious, thoughtful choices.
