FAQs

Are these shorts suitable for swimming?

While made of cotton, they are intended for casual wear rather than as dedicated boardshorts or swim trunks.

What material are the shorts made of?

These shorts are constructed from cotton, offering a breathable and soft feel.

Do these shorts come with a drawstring?

The description highlights an elastic waistband for ease of movement; please verify the specific internal tag or listing for additional drawstring features.

How should I choose my size?

Since these feature a relaxed fit, if you are between sizes, you may want to opt for the smaller size if you prefer a slightly less baggy look.

Are the pockets deep enough for a wallet?

Yes, the functional pockets are designed to hold standard everyday items like wallets and mobile phones securely.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose

Ensure the shorts are positioned correctly on your hips; if the fit is consistently too large, consider sizing down since the relaxed cut is intentionally generous.

Fabric appearing slightly faded after washing

Always wash inside out in cold water to protect the checkerboard pattern and prevent premature color bleeding or fading.

Pros and Cons

  • Versatile black and white checkerboard design
  • Elastic waistband provides a customizable, easy fit
  • Practical pockets for everyday convenience
  • Classic branding with a discreet back logo label

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep your Vans Relaxed Checker Shorts in optimal condition, machine wash them in cold water with like colors. Avoid using harsh bleach, as it can fade the contrast of the black and white pattern. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang them to dry to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband and minimize cotton shrinkage. Because these shorts feature a relaxed fit, they pair best with fitted t-shirts or casual tank tops to balance the silhouette.
