FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

Generally, Stradivarius sizing is consistent. However, for the most accurate fit, we recommend referring to the official size guide provided by the brand. Denim material may also relax slightly with wear.

Can I wear these shorts in colder weather?

While designed for warmer weather, these shorts can be styled for cooler temperatures by pairing them with opaque tights, ankle boots, and layered tops like a long-sleeve shirt or a sweater.

How do I prevent the rips from getting bigger?

To best preserve the distressed look, wash the shorts inside out on a delicate cycle with cold water. Air drying is highly recommended. Avoid pulling or tugging aggressively on the ripped areas.

What material are these shorts made of?

These shorts are primarily made from cotton, offering comfort and durability typical of quality denim products.

Can I machine dry these shorts?

Yes, you can machine dry them on a low heat setting. However, for best results and to minimize shrinkage or damage to distressed areas, air drying is recommended.

Is the high-waist comfortable?

The high-waist design is generally considered very comfortable as it sits at the natural waist, providing good coverage and support. The fit can vary slightly depending on individual body shape.

Troubleshooting

Rips or frays are expanding too much after washing.

Ensure you are washing the shorts inside out on a delicate cycle. Consider using a mesh laundry bag for extra protection for highly distressed items. Air drying instead of tumble drying can also help.

Shorts feel too tight after washing.

Denim can sometimes shrink slightly with heat. Wash in cold water and always air dry or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting. Stretching them gently while damp can also help regain some shape.

Color fading over time.

To preserve the blue denim color, wash shorts in cold water, inside out, and with similar dark colors. Avoid direct sunlight when drying for prolonged periods.

Metal button feels loose.

This is uncommon, but if it occurs, a professional tailor can often reinforce the button. Avoid excessive force when fastening or unfastening.

Care Instructions

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

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) with similar colors.
  2. Inside Out: Always turn your shorts inside out before washing to protect the distressed areas and prevent excessive fraying.
  3. Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  4. Bleach: Do not bleach. Bleach can damage the fabric and alter the color.
  5. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, or preferably, hang dry to prevent shrinkage and reduce stress on the ripped areas. Air drying also helps maintain the fabric's integrity.
  6. Ironing: Iron on a low temperature setting if needed, avoiding direct contact with any printed or embellished areas. It is generally not necessary for denim shorts.
  7. Storage: Store folded or hung to maintain shape.
