Troubleshooting

Visible wrinkles or creases in the fabric

Take the garment to a professional cleaner for steaming, or use a handheld garment steamer carefully on the reverse side.

Waist fit feels too tight

Ensure you are measuring your waist at the narrowest point, as the high-waisted cut sits higher than standard mid-rise shorts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for smart-casual and professional settings
  • Flattering A-line silhouette with classic pleat detailing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shorts feature a delicate cotton-viscose blend, they are not designed for machine washing. To maintain the structural integrity of the pleats and the quality of the fabric, you should adhere strictly to the 'Dry Clean Only' instructions provided on the garment tag. For sizing, ensure you consult the available size range (from UK 6 to UK 18) to find your best fit, as the high-waisted cut sits specifically at the natural waistline. Store these shorts on a hanger to prevent unwanted creasing in the fabric or flattening of the front pleats.
