FAQs
What is the primary material used?
These shorts are crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and ability to maintain a sharp, tailored shape.
Do these shorts have a stretch fit?
They are designed as a regular fit with a structured silhouette, meaning they provide a standard tailored fit rather than a high-stretch legging-style fit.
Are the pockets functional?
Yes, the shorts include side pockets that are suitable for storing small, flat items.
Can I wear these for a formal event?
Due to the smart tailoring and crossover waist, they are appropriate for business-casual and most smart-casual events, especially when paired with elegant accessories.
How should I determine my size?
These shorts follow standard UK women's dress sizing. Refer to your typical size in tailored trousers to ensure the best fit around the waist and hips.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they can be machine washed; however, we recommend a cold, gentle cycle to extend the life of the fabric and the pleat definition.
Troubleshooting
Waist overlap appears misaligned
Ensure the internal metal hook is fastened correctly at the interior anchor point before securing the external zipper.
Wrinkles in the fabric
Use a handheld garment steamer rather than a traditional iron to safely remove creases without flattening the pleats.
Zipper feels stiff
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently rub a lead pencil tip along the teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their fit and finish, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water to preserve the fabric color and texture.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the polyester fibers and distort the pleats.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer. Avoid direct high-heat contact with the pleats to prevent crushing the tailored lines.
- Compatibility: These shorts feature standard belt loops compatible with most thin to medium-width belts. They are best paired with footwear ranging from pointed-toe flats to block heels.
