FAQs
Are these shorts true to size?
Yes, they follow standard UK sizing for a size 14; however, since linen does not stretch, ensure your waist measurement aligns with the garment's dimensions.
Can I put these shorts in the dryer?
It is not recommended. Linen is sensitive to high heat, which can cause the garment to shrink and lose its tailored shape.
What is the best way to remove wrinkles?
A handheld garment steamer is the safest and most effective way to relax linen fibers without risking heat damage.
Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?
The side pockets are designed to be discreet and shallow to maintain a sleek silhouette; they are better suited for light items like keys or small cards.
Can these be worn in a formal office setting?
Yes, when paired with a formal blouse or a tailored blazer, the structured pleats and sophisticated cut make them appropriate for most business-casual offices.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles after wearing
Lightly mist the fabric with water and use a garment steamer; avoid high-heat ironing directly on the fabric to prevent shine.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a delicate fabric softener suitable for linen or hang-dry in a breezy area to allow the fibers to soften naturally.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen Tailored City Shorts, it is recommended to follow the garment tag instructions explicitly. As they are made of linen, avoid machine drying, which can cause excessive shrinkage and set wrinkles deep into the fibers. Instead, hang the shorts to air dry and use a garment steamer to remove wrinkles before wearing. When storing, hanging the shorts in a cool, dry closet on a proper trouser hanger will help maintain the sharpness of the front pleats. If you are between sizes, consider that linen has very little inherent stretch; verify your measurements against UK size 14 standards before selection.
