FAQs
What does 'hint of stretch' mean for the fit?
The 'hint of stretch' means the fabric contains a small percentage of elastic fibers (like elastane or spandex), which allows the garment to move with you and provides a more comfortable, less restrictive fit than 100% cotton.
How do I know if the Levi's tab is authentic?
Levi's uses various tab designs, including different colors and text variations. The presence of a Levi's tab, regardless of its specific design, indicates an original Levi's product.
Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?
These shorts have a classic, slightly tailored design due to the pleats, making them more versatile than casual denim shorts. However, they are best suited for smart-casual or casual occasions rather than formal events.
What is the best way to care for the pleated design?
To maintain the pleats, it is recommended to wash in cold water, avoid high heat drying, and iron on a low setting if needed. Hanging the shorts after washing can also help preserve the pleat structure.
Can these shorts be worn in cooler weather?
While versatile, these shorts are primarily designed for warmer weather. For cooler temperatures, they can be styled with tights or layered with longer tops and jackets.
What size should I order if I am between sizes?
Given the relaxed fit and hint of stretch, if you are between sizes, you might consider your preference for fit. Ordering your usual size might offer a relaxed feel, while sizing down could provide a slightly more fitted appearance. Reviewing the specific garment measurements on the size chart is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shorts feel too tight or loose
Refer to the sizing chart and measure your waist and hips before purchasing. Consider trying a different size if the fit is not as expected.
Fabric appears to be shrinking after washing
Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Avoid high heat in the dryer and opt for air drying or tumble drying on a low setting.
Pleats are losing their definition
Follow the recommended ironing instructions. Iron on a low setting, potentially inside out, to help maintain the crispness of the pleats.
