FAQs

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The inseam length is approximately 31cm, offering a contemporary yet balanced coverage.

Can these shorts be worn for formal occasions?

While primarily designed for smart-casual wear, their refined texture and tailored details allow them to be dressed up for certain semi-formal daytime events when paired with appropriate accessories and tops.

What type of fabric are these shorts made from?

They are crafted from a blend of viscose and linen, combining the breathability of linen with the smoother texture of viscose.

How should I choose my size?

Refer to the sizing information provided by Karen Millen for UK women's dress sizes. For this specific item, the listing is for a UK size 12. It is advisable to check measurements against a similar garment you own.

Are the pockets deep enough for a phone?

The shorts feature practical side pockets. While designed for functionality, the depth may vary and might accommodate smaller items like keys or cards, but not all modern smartphone sizes.

What is the best way to care for the viscose linen blend?

Gentle machine wash on cold or hand wash, followed by laying flat or hanging to dry. Iron on a medium setting while damp.

Troubleshooting

Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.

Iron the shorts on a medium heat setting while slightly damp. For best results, use a pressing cloth.

Fabric feels stiff.

This is typical of a linen blend. With wear and gentle washing, the fabric will soften over time. Ensure you are following the recommended care instructions.

Pockets are not lying flat.

Ensure the shorts are smoothed out after washing and drying. Careful ironing of the pocket area can help them sit correctly.
