Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Karen Millen Tailored City Shorts, follow these care guidelines:
- Care: Linen is a natural fiber; always follow the care label. Dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the structure of the pleats and the waistband. If hand-washing, use cool water and a mild detergent, laying flat to dry.
- Ironing/Steaming: Use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer to remove wrinkles. Avoid high-heat direct contact which can scorch the fibers.
- Compatibility: These shorts are designed to be paired with belts up to 1.5 inches in width. They are best worn with slim-fit tops or tucked-in blouses to highlight the high-rise silhouette.
