Are these shorts suitable for machine washing?

Yes, they can be machine washed on a delicate cycle with cold water, preferably inside out. However, hand washing is recommended for longevity.

How should I iron these shorts?

Iron on a low heat setting, preferably on the reverse side of the fabric, and avoid direct heat on the embossed buttons.

Can I style these shorts for a formal occasion?

Yes, with the right pairing, such as a silk blouse, blazer, and heels, they can be styled for more formal or evening events.

Troubleshooting

Shorts do not fit correctly.

Refer to the Vivienne Westwood size guide and compare with your measurements. If between sizes, consider the next size up for a more relaxed fit or consult with a tailor for alterations.

Color fading after washing.

Ensure washing in cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Wash inside out.

Buttons appear dull or scratched.

Gently clean the buttons with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solutions directly on the embossed 'Line Orb' motif. If significant scratching occurs, professional repair or replacement may be considered.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

Ensure the shorts are fully air-dried or tumble-dried on a low setting. A light iron on the reverse side can help soften the fabric. Avoid over-drying.
