It is recommended to hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle with cold water, mild detergent, and to air dry. Avoid tumble drying and excessive heat during ironing.
What occasions are these shorts suitable for?

Troubleshooting
Shorts appear wrinkled after washing
Iron the shorts on a low setting while slightly damp, or use a steamer. Ensure they are dried flat or hung to minimize creasing.
Buttons feel loose
Carefully reinforce the buttons by hand-stitching them more securely. Avoid machine washing on a high spin cycle.
Fabric feels stiff after drying
Gently stretch the fabric while damp or re-iron on a low heat setting. Air drying in a well-ventilated area can help maintain softness.
