FAQs

What material are these shorts made from?

How should I care for the decorative buttons?

The decorative gold-tone buttons should be handled with care. It is best to dry clean the shorts. If hand washing, avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the buttons.

Are the side pockets functional?

Yes, the shorts feature practical side pockets for everyday convenience.

What occasions are these shorts suitable for?

These shorts are versatile and suitable for various occasions, including upscale brunches, gallery visits, city breaks, alfresco dining, and smart casual office settings.

What is the length of the shorts?

Do these shorts run true to size?

Sizing can vary between brands and styles. It is recommended to consult the brand's specific size guide and measure yourself to ensure the best fit.

Can I machine wash these shorts?

While machine washing may be possible on a delicate cycle with cold water, dry cleaning is highly recommended by the brand to maintain the quality of the linen blend and the decorative elements.

Troubleshooting

Linen fabric appears excessively wrinkled.

Iron the shorts on a low heat setting while slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Consider professional dry cleaning for best results.

Decorative buttons feel loose.

Gently check the tightness of the buttons. If loose, hand-stitch them securely. Avoid pulling or snagging the buttons.

Shorts have lost their shape after washing.

Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions, particularly regarding drying. Laying flat to dry is crucial for maintaining shape. If significant distortion has occurred, professional reshaping may be an option.

Color fading observed.

Wash inside out in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid direct sunlight when drying. Dry cleaning is the safest method to preserve color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: It is recommended to dry clean these shorts to maintain the integrity of the linen blend and the decorative buttons. If hand washing is preferred, use cool water and a mild detergent, avoiding harsh scrubbing.
  • Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel to prevent stretching or distortion. Avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the fabric and buttons.
  • Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a pressing cloth. Pay special attention to the front button detailing to avoid direct high heat.
  • Storage: Hang on a padded or wide hanger to preserve the shape of the waistband and prevent creasing.
