FAQs

What is the best way to store these culottes?

Store them folded in a drawer or on a shelf to minimize creasing. If hanging, use a padded hanger and ensure they have enough space to avoid crushing.

Can I wear these culottes in slightly cooler weather?

While designed for summer, you can layer them for cooler weather. Pair with tights, a long-sleeved top, and a cardigan or jacket for transitional styling.

How does the sizing run for the Merrivale Culottes?

Refer to the brand's specific size guide for accurate measurements. Generally, they are designed for a comfortable, true-to-size fit at the natural waist.

What kind of fabric is 100% linen?

Linen is a natural fiber derived from the flax plant. It is known for its strength, breathability, and ability to keep you cool in warm weather, though it can wrinkle easily.

Are these culottes suitable for formal occasions?

The Merrivale Culottes are best suited for casual and semi-casual occasions due to their relaxed fit and linen material. They are not typically considered formal wear.

How should I care for the natural waist fit?

The natural waist is achieved through the cut of the garment. Proper washing and drying techniques as outlined in the care instructions will help maintain the garment's shape and fit.

Troubleshooting

Garment has shrunk after washing.

Linen can be prone to shrinkage. Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle at 30°C and consider line drying instead of tumble drying on high heat.

Linen appears excessively wrinkled.

Iron the culottes while they are still damp on a medium heat setting. For more stubborn wrinkles, a garment steamer can also be effective.

Color fading after multiple washes.

Wash inside out with similar colors on a gentle cycle. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, and dry away from direct sunlight.
