How should I care for these shorts?

Professional dry cleaning is recommended. Gentle hand washing in cool water may be an alternative, followed by laying flat to dry. Iron on a low heat.

Avoid excessive washing. Professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the delicate texture. If hand washing, handle pockets gently and air dry without direct heat.
