Featuring a relaxed, mid-length cut that sits just above the knee and a clean straight-leg silhouette, they provide a polished appearance that transitions easily from casual brunch settings to garden events. While the linen material offers breathability and a classic look, users should be mindful that linen can be prone to creasing throughout the day.

FAQs
What material are these shorts made of?
These shorts are crafted from a linen-blend fabric, chosen for its breathability and classic texture.
Are these shorts suitable for formal events?
They are best suited for smart-casual occasions like garden parties or brunch, rather than formal events.
How should I wash these shorts?
We recommend a gentle machine wash in cold water and hanging them to air dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric.
Does the turn-up hem affect the length?
The hem is sewn in a permanent turn-up style, which is factored into the total mid-length cut of the short.
What type of fit do these shorts have?
They feature a regular, straight-leg fit designed to be comfortable and flattering for most body types.
Troubleshooting
Visible creasing after sitting for long periods
Lightly mist the fabric with water and hang the garment in a ventilated area to allow the fibers to relax and wrinkles to fall out naturally.
Garment feels stiff after air drying
Gently shake the garment or use a low-heat tumble setting for a few minutes to soften the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts maintain their fit, follow these care guidelines. Always check the internal garment tag for specific temperature settings, but generally, linen-blends benefit from a gentle machine wash in cold water. To minimize creasing, remove the shorts from the washing machine promptly and lay them flat or hang them to dry. If ironing is necessary to remove stubborn wrinkles, use a low-heat setting or a garment steamer while the fabric is slightly damp. These shorts are highly compatible with casual leather sandals, white canvas sneakers, or low-profile mules, allowing them to anchor a wide range of seasonal wardrobes.
