FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?
Their tailored design and darting make them perfect for smart-casual events, though they may be too informal for black-tie or professional boardroom settings.
Do these shorts run true to size?
The fit follows standard UK sizing; however, since they do not have significant stretch, it is recommended to check your measurements against the size guide if you are between sizes.
Can I put these shorts in the dryer?
It is not recommended to use a high-heat dryer. Air drying on a hanger is best to prevent wrinkling and maintain the tailored shape.
What kind of fabric is used?
This specific variant is crafted from high-quality polyester, chosen for its durability and resistance to wrinkling.
Do the side pockets fit a smartphone?
The pockets are designed for small personal items; while some smartphones may fit, they may alter the sleek silhouette of the shorts.
How should I store them?
Store them hanging by the waistband or folded neatly to avoid creasing the front darts.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon wearing
Use a handheld garment steamer or an iron on a low synthetic setting to smooth the fabric without direct contact.
Metal hook feels loose
Check if the thread holding the hook has frayed; if so, reinforce the stitching with matching brown thread.
Static cling
Lightly mist the shorts with water or apply a small amount of fabric softener during the rinse cycle of your next wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Stradivarius shorts in pristine condition, always check the internal care label before washing. As these shorts are primarily made from polyester, it is recommended to machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle to preserve the fabric's integrity. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause synthetic fibers to lose their shape or develop a sheen. When ironing, use a low temperature setting, ideally with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to prevent singeing. These shorts are highly compatible with various footwear, ranging from flat leather sandals for a daytime look to block-heeled mules for an evening upgrade.
