Finding a shell on the beach is a small delight, but it’s often served with a chaser of disappointment: that perfect scallop is actually a broken fragment; that sand dollar is technically still alive, and now you’re a murderer. Enter Nikki, a short that humbly offers all the wonder of a beachy discovery with none of the moral complexity. An uber-flattering high-cut leg, artfully frayed hem, and all-over shell print make Nikki perfect for beach bonfires, warm-weather dinner parties, and waiting for the return of your husband at sea.
