FAQs

What material are the Stradivarius D75 Ripped Denim Shorts made from?

These shorts are made from durable denim material.

How should I wash these shorts to best maintain them?

Machine wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Are the frayed hems designed to unravel?

The frayed hems are an intentional design feature for a distressed look. While some natural unraveling is expected, excessive loose threads can be carefully trimmed. Gentle washing helps maintain their appearance.

What does 'high-waist' mean for these shorts?

A high-waist design means the shorts sit higher on your natural waistline, typically above the navel, offering a comfortable and flattering fit.

Do these shorts have functional pockets?

Yes, they feature a classic five-pocket design, including front, coin, and back pockets, all of which are functional.

Can I wear these shorts in different seasons?

While ideal for warm weather, their versatile denim material allows them to be styled for cooler days by pairing them with tights or leggings and layered tops.

Troubleshooting

Frayed hems are unraveling too much or snagging.

Wash shorts inside out on a gentle cycle, preferably in a mesh laundry bag. You can carefully trim excessively long, loose threads with fabric scissors to maintain the desired look.

Denim seems to be shrinking after washing.

Always wash in cold water and avoid high-heat drying. Air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting to prevent shrinkage and maintain the garment's original fit.

Colour appears to be fading.

Wash inside out with like colours using a colour-safe detergent. Limit exposure to direct sunlight when drying to help preserve the denim's original hue.

Shorts feel stiff after washing.

Denim can become stiff if air-dried completely. Tumble dry on a low setting for a short period, then air dry, or add a small amount of fabric softener during the wash cycle (if compatible with denim).

Care Instructions

Proper care will help maintain the look and longevity of your shorts, especially the distressed elements.

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. To protect the denim colour and frayed hems, wash inside out with similar colours.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and alter the colour.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or, ideally, air dry by laying flat or hanging. High heat can cause denim to shrink or affect the frayed details.
  4. Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing directly over the frayed hems to preserve their texture.
  5. Special Note for Frayed Hems: The frayed hems are intentionally designed for a distressed look. To prevent excessive unraveling, you may gently trim any exceptionally long or loose threads with sharp scissors. Consider using a mesh laundry bag when washing to protect the hems from snagging.
