San Diego Shorts
Crafted from Nicilian’s signature regenerative silk twill, the San Diego Shorts reinterpret a classic silhouette with elevated detailing and mindful construction.
A center overstitch adds subtle structure, while refined side piping elongates the form. The adjustable waist tie ensures a comfortable, personalized fit, and functional side pockets offer ease without disrupting the clean lines.
Lightweight, breathable, and endlessly versatile, these silk shorts are designed to move with you — whether you're seaside or simply carrying the spirit of it with you.
Crafted in Dubai, with a California soul.
Features
Story
Inspired by the laid-back elegance of San Diego — the city that shaped my earliest sense of style — the San Diego Shorts are a tribute to effortless living. Crafted from pure silk twill, they embody a relaxed sophistication built for real life: soft structure, easy movement, and just the right amount of polish. These are the shorts you slip on without thinking, but always feel like your best self in.
Styling
The San Diego Shorts are as easy to wear as they are elegant. Pair them with the Aura Blouse or Rachael Tank for a breezy summer look that moves from poolside to city strolls with ease. They also work beautifully under the Peta Cardigan as a lightweight layer for cooler evenings. Whether dressed up or down, these shorts bring a touch of quiet luxury to everyday moments.

SILK TWILL:
Our 100% silk twill is best cared for with dry cleaning to preserve its natural luster and drape. Due to its generous weight, it can also be gently steam-ironed at home on medium to high heat, moving continuously to avoid scorching.
For at-home cleaning, hand wash gently in cool water with a mild soap, pat dry with a towel, and hang to air dry — never wring or twist.
Natural creasing may occur throughout the day — this is a beautiful quality of pure silk, a sign of its organic character and ease.
SILK GEORGETTE:
Our 100% silk georgette is best cared for with dry cleaning to maintain its airy drape and soft translucence. It can also be gently steamed or carefully ironed at home on low to medium heat with a pressing cloth, always moving continuously to avoid scorching.
For at-home cleaning, hand wash delicately in cool water with a gentle soap, softly pat dry with a towel, and hang to air dry — avoiding any wringing or twisting, as georgette is a delicate weave.
Natural creasing may occur throughout the day — this is a beautiful quality of pure silk, a sign of its organic character and ease.
