FAQs
What does 'trunk fit' mean for these swim shorts?
Trunk fit refers to a shorter, tailored cut that typically ends mid-thigh, offering a streamlined and athletic silhouette.
Are these swim shorts suitable for chlorine pools?
While designed for quick drying, prolonged exposure to chlorine can degrade fabric over time. Rinsing thoroughly with cold water after each use is recommended.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the specific size chart provided by Alexander McQueen for their apparel. Measure your waist and compare it to the chart for the best fit.
Can these shorts be worn for running or other sports?
The quick-dry fabric and tailored fit make them comfortable for light athletic activities, but they are primarily designed for swimming and leisure wear.
What is the Alex Repeat pattern?
The Alex Repeat pattern is a signature design element from Alexander McQueen, often featuring the brand's logo or motifs in a repeating sequence.
Do these shorts have a mesh lining?
Typically, trunk-style swim shorts may or may not include a built-in mesh brief. Check the product's detailed specifications or packaging for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can build up on quick-dry fabrics. Wash again in cold water without any additives.
Color fading
Always wash with like colors and in cold water. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying, and opt for hang drying or low heat tumble dry.
Elastic waistband feels loose
This is rare with new garments. If significant looseness occurs over time, it may indicate wear and tear, and professional repair or replacement might be considered.
