FAQs

What is the best way to wash these shorts?

It is recommended to hand wash in cold water or use a gentle machine wash cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid tumble drying; instead, lay flat to air dry.

How can I prevent the linen blend from wrinkling excessively?

While some wrinkling is natural for linen blends, proper ironing techniques (medium heat, steam, or while damp) and careful storage can minimize it. Reshaping while damp also helps.

What occasions are these shorts suitable for?

These shorts are suitable for smart casual events, daytime outings, brunches, and gatherings where a polished yet comfortable look is desired.

What kind of tops pair well with these shorts?

They pair well with crisp button-down shirts, fitted tops, lightweight knitwear, and simple t-shirts. The high-waisted design is particularly flattering when tops are tucked in.

Are the pockets functional?

Yes, the shorts feature practical side pockets for everyday functionality.

What is the material composition?

The shorts are crafted from a viscose linen blend.

What does the 31cm length refer to?

The 31cm length refers to the inseam or total length of the shorts, providing a balanced and contemporary silhouette.

Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.

Iron the shorts on a medium heat setting while slightly damp, or use a steam iron on the reverse side.

Shorts have lost their shape.

Gently reshape the shorts while damp after washing and lay them flat to air dry. Avoid harsh wringing.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is typical of a linen blend. The fabric will soften with wear and proper washing. Ensure you are using a mild detergent.

Pockets are not lying flat.

Ensure the garment is ironed correctly. Sometimes, simply smoothing the pockets down while ironing can resolve this.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Due to the viscose and linen blend, hand washing in cold water or a gentle machine wash on a delicate cycle is recommended.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Avoid tumble drying. It is best to lay the shorts flat to air dry, reshaping them while damp to maintain their structure.
  • Ironing: Iron on a medium heat setting, preferably while the garment is still slightly damp, or use a steam iron to remove wrinkles effectively. Iron on the reverse side to protect the fabric's texture.
  • Storage: Hang the shorts on a padded hanger to prevent creasing and maintain their shape.
