FAQs

What is the 'Line Orb' motif?

The 'Line Orb' is a signature motif of Vivienne Westwood, a stylized representation of the orb symbol, often used as a distinctive brand element.

Are these shorts suitable for daily casual wear?

While comfortable due to the cotton fabric, their tailored design and unique buttons lend themselves more to smart-casual or dressed-up occasions rather than very relaxed, everyday wear.

What size should I choose if I'm between sizes?

Given the tailored fit, it is generally advisable to consult the specific size chart provided by Vivienne Westwood. If you prefer a slightly looser fit, consider sizing up, but be aware this may affect the tailored silhouette.

Can I machine wash these shorts?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shorts. Hand washing in cold water is the preferred method to maintain the fabric quality and button details.

What collection are these shorts inspired by?

These Elle Button shorts are inspired by Vivienne Westwood's Spring-Summer 1994 collection, titled 'Café Society'.

What is the primary material of these shorts?

The shorts are crafted from 100% soft cotton.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the 100% cotton material and delicate button details, hand washing in cold water is recommended to preserve the fabric's integrity and the buttons' finish.
  • Drying: Avoid machine drying. Lay the shorts flat on a clean towel or drying rack, reshaping them while damp to maintain their tailored form.
  • Ironing: Use a cool iron setting. It is advisable to iron the shorts inside out to protect the exterior fabric and the embossed buttons.
  • Dry Cleaning: For optimal results and to maintain the garment's premium condition, professional dry cleaning may be considered.
