FAQs

What material are these shorts made of?

These shorts are crafted from a blend of viscose and linen, providing both breathability and a refined texture.

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The shorts have a versatile length of 31cm.

Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?

While designed for sophisticated wear, their suitability for formal occasions depends on styling. They can be dressed up with elegant tops and heels for semi-formal events.

How should I care for the viscose linen blend?

It is recommended to follow care label instructions, typically involving gentle washing (cool cycle or hand wash) and air drying or low-heat tumble drying. Ironing on a medium setting is usually appropriate.

Do the side pockets add bulk?

The pockets are designed to be practical and functional without compromising the garment's sophisticated silhouette. They are integrated thoughtfully into the design.

What types of tops pair best with these high-waisted shorts?

High-waisted shorts pair brilliantly with both fitted and relaxed tops. Tucking in blouses, shirts, or knitwear emphasizes the waistline and creates a balanced silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.

Gently iron the shorts on a medium heat setting while they are slightly damp. Alternatively, a steamer can be used to remove wrinkles.

Fabric feels stiff after drying.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid high heat drying. Air drying in a well-ventilated area often helps maintain fabric softness.

Pockets are not laying flat.

Ensure the garment is pressed correctly after washing, paying attention to the pocket area. Sometimes, simply wearing the garment for a short period will help them settle.
