What size is recommended for someone who wears a UK 16 dress size?

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The woven fabric offers structure; for maximum flexibility, consider pairing with more dynamic movements or exploring stretchier fabric options if available.

Fabric appears to be pilling or snagging

Check washing instructions and ensure you are washing with similar fabrics to avoid abrasion. Avoid washing with items that have zippers or rough surfaces. Hand washing can also help prolong fabric life.

Color fading after washing

Always wash in cold water and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Consider washing inside out to protect the outer surface.

To care for your shorts and maintain their quality, it is recommended to machine wash them on a cold cycle with similar colors. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
