FAQs

What material are these shorts made of?

These shorts are made from linen, which is a lightweight and breathable natural fabric.

Are these shorts suitable for formal events?

They are best suited for smart-casual events like garden parties, brunches, or relaxed gatherings.

How long do these shorts sit on the leg?

They feature a mid-length cut that sits just above the knee.

Can I put these in the tumble dryer?

It is generally recommended to air dry linen items to prevent shrinking and excess wrinkling.

Is the waist elasticated?

These shorts feature a regular fit tailored design; check the product label for specific closure details.

Do these shorts match other Dorothy Perkins items?

Troubleshooting

Visible creasing after sitting

Linen is a natural fiber prone to wrinkling; lightly mist with water and smooth with your hands or use a steamer for a quick refresh.

Shorts feel too tight at the waist

Ensure you are ordering your standard size and consider that linen does not have the stretch of synthetic blends; if you are between sizes, opt for the larger size.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Breathable linen material keeps you cool in summer
  • Tailored look from the turn-up hem detail
  • Modest length suitable for a variety of ages and occasions
  • Easy to coordinate with other wardrobe staples

Cons

  • Linen fabric may wrinkle easily with wear

  • Limited to warm-weather use due to lightweight fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the quality of these linen shorts, always check the garment label for specific washing instructions. Due to the natural fibers, it is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle in cool water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking. For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK dress size, as the regular fit is designed to follow standard sizing proportions. Ironing while slightly damp is the most effective way to remove creases caused by the linen material after laundry.
