FAQs

What size should I choose?

These shorts follow standard UK dress sizing. Refer to the size 14 label if that is your usual fit, as the tailoring is designed to be form-fitting.

Are these shorts appropriate for office wear?

Depending on your workplace's dress code, the tailored nature and professional silhouette of these shorts make them a strong candidate for smart-casual office environments.

How do I best clean these shorts?

To preserve the structure and the pressed pleats, dry cleaning is the recommended care method.

Can I tumble dry this garment?

No, tumble drying is not recommended as it may shrink the material or ruin the structured silhouette.

Does the fabric have any stretch?

The material is chosen for its structural integrity, meaning it offers minimal stretch to ensure it holds its tailored shape all night.

Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or loss of pleat definition

Use a garment steamer on a low setting or a professional pressing service to restore the centre front pleat.

Fabric feels slightly stiff upon first wear

The crisp finish is intentional for the tailored look. The garment will soften slightly with gentle movement and wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-rise cut provides an elongating effect for the legs
  • Sophisticated, polished look suitable for evening events
  • Tailored fit ensures a structured and flattering shape
  • Versatile design allows for both formal and semi-formal pairing

Cons

  • Requires professional cleaning or careful washing to maintain the pressed pleat
  • Structured material may feel less flexible than casual loungewear shorts
  • Limited to specific formal and social settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shorts are tailored with a specific focus on structural integrity, proper maintenance is essential. To keep the centre front pleat sharp and the fabric crisp, we recommend dry cleaning or cold hand washing with a gentle detergent. Avoid machine drying, as high heat can compromise the tailored shape and the integrity of the material finish. Store them hanging or neatly folded to prevent unwanted creasing in the pleats. These shorts are designed as a standalone piece but complement most standard evening blazers and waistcoats within the MISSPAP collection.
