FAQs

What is the inseam length?

These shorts feature a 30cm inseam, designed to provide modest coverage and a professional look.

Can these be worn in a professional office setting?

Yes, thanks to the tailored aesthetic and clean-cut hem, they serve well as business-casual wear when paired appropriately.

How do I determine my size?

This model is designed as a UK 18. We recommend checking your waist and hip measurements against a standard Karen Millen size guide for the best fit.

Is the fabric prone to stretching out over time?

The techno woven blend is specifically chosen for its ability to hold its shape; however, following proper washing instructions is key to preventing material degradation.

Are there other colors available?

Yes, the Essential Techno Woven range is available in several colorways including Black and Beige, depending on stock availability.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears slightly wrinkled after storage

Lightly steam the affected area using a garment steamer; do not use heavy pressure with a standard iron.

Slight discomfort at the waist

Ensure the high-waisted band is sitting at your natural waist rather than pulling against the hips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Karen Millen shorts, observe the following care practices:

  1. Washing: Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature recommendations; generally, gentle machine cycles or hand washing is preferred to protect the weave.
  2. Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the synthetic components of the techno blend. Air drying flat is recommended.
  3. Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer if needed, taking care not to pull the fabric while hot.
  4. Storage: Store on a hanger to maintain the tailored crease and high-waisted structure.
