FAQs

Can these shorts be machine washed?

Are the pockets functional?

Yes, the slant pockets are functional and designed to be subtle, maintaining the tailored look of the shorts.

What is the fit of the Ornica shorts?

They feature a tailored fit with a single pleat, providing a structured silhouette that generally follows standard UK women's sizing.

Is the fabric suitable for hot weather?

The garment is expertly crafted and provides a sophisticated look, though as with all tailored trousers, comfort in extreme heat depends on your layering choices.

Does the pattern match at the seams?

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears wrinkled after storage

Take the garment to a professional dry cleaner for a light steam; do not attempt to iron at home.

Fastening feels stiff

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and verify that the hook is fully seated in the eye before zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Max Mara Ornica shorts, follow these guidelines:

  1. Care: This garment must be professionally dry-cleaned. Avoid machine washing or hand washing, as this can distort the shape and damage the tailored pleats.
  2. Storage: Store the shorts on a proper garment hanger using the provided tabs or draped over a non-slip trouser bar to prevent wrinkles.
  3. Compatibility: These shorts run in standard UK women's sizing. It is recommended to pair them with high-quality fabrics like silk, cotton, or lightweight knits to match the garment's premium texture.
  4. Ironing: If minor touch-ups are required, use a professional steaming service rather than a home iron to avoid flattening the structured pleat.
