FAQs

Can I machine wash these shorts?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Professional dry cleaning is necessary to protect the textured fabric and structural design of the bow.

Are these shorts appropriate for office wear?

Depending on your workplace dress code, they can be styled professionally with a crisp blouse and blazer, though the dramatic bow is more suited for creative or social environments.

Does the waistband stretch over time?

The tailored fit is designed to hold its shape; however, like any structured garment, it should be stored correctly on a hanger to prevent tension on the waist.

What is the best way to store the bow detail?

Store in a breathable garment bag with enough space so that the bow is not crushed or flattened by other items in your closet.

Do these shorts run true to size?

The garment is constructed with a tailored fit. It is recommended to consult the specific size chart provided by the brand for the best fit.

Troubleshooting

The bow has lost its shape or volume

Lightly steam the bow from a distance using a professional garment steamer to restore the structured silhouette.

Fabric has minor surface wrinkles

Avoid direct ironing on the textured fabric; use a professional steam press or consult a dry cleaner to safely remove creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Alexander McQueen shorts, follow these guidelines for care and maintenance.

  1. Storage: Hang the shorts using garment clips that do not leave permanent indentations on the waistband or the bow.
  2. Cleaning: Due to the delicate nature of the fabric blend and the structural integrity of the bow, professional dry cleaning is recommended to avoid altering the shape or texture.
  3. Compatibility: These shorts pair best with high-heeled footwear, such as pumps or strappy sandals, to complement the elevated aesthetic of the A-line hem.
  4. Handling: When traveling, pack the shorts in a garment bag with the bow supported by tissue paper to prevent flattening or creasing.
