Troubleshooting
Shorts appear wrinkled after washing.
Iron the shorts on a low heat setting while they are still slightly damp. Alternatively, use a steamer for a quick refresh.
Waistband feels slightly tight.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If a minor adjustment is needed, consider consulting a tailor for alterations.
Fabric feels stiff.
This is typical of new linen blends. The fabric will soften with wear and subsequent gentle washes according to care instructions.
Pockets are not lying flat.
Ensure items in the pockets are minimal and evenly distributed. Pressing the pocket area flat with an iron can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear garments and require no assembly. They should be steamed or ironed before the first wear to ensure a crisp finish.
Compatibility: Designed for adult women. The high-rise waist and wide-leg fit are generally compatible with various body types, but individual fit may vary. They pair well with fitted tops, blouses, and blazers.
Care Instructions: Due to the linen blend and tailored construction, it is recommended to follow the specific care label instructions. Typically, this would involve dry cleaning or a very gentle, cool wash cycle and air drying. Iron on a low setting while the garment is still slightly damp to minimize wrinkles. Avoid high heat and tumble drying to maintain the fabric's integrity and shape.
