FAQs
What does UK 4 mean in terms of sizing?
A UK 4 typically corresponds to an extra-small (XS) size. We recommend checking the SikSilk size guide to match your waist and hip measurements.
Are these shorts suitable for intense cardio?
Yes, the athletic cut and elasticated waist are designed to handle high-movement activities like running or basketball.
Can I tumble dry these shorts?
It is not recommended to tumble dry, as the heat can degrade the elastic and damage the delicate piping detail.
Is the fabric see-through?
No, the black material is opaque and designed for athletic use, providing full coverage.
Where is the drawstring located?
Unlike traditional shorts, these feature the adjustable drawstring at the back to maintain a cleaner front profile.
Troubleshooting
Drawstring feels stuck or difficult to adjust
Ensure the drawstring is not twisted inside the channel and gently pull from the center to equalize tension.
Piping appears frayed or worn
Avoid contact with rough surfaces and ensure the item is washed inside a mesh laundry bag to protect the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your SikSilk shorts, avoid excessive heat during washing. The shorts feature delicate piping that can be damaged by high-temperature tumble drying or abrasive detergents. We recommend washing in cold water on a delicate cycle and hanging the garment to air dry. Because of the adjustable rear drawstring, ensure the knot is loosened before removing the shorts to prevent unnecessary strain on the waistband fabric. The shorts pair well with fitted tank tops, sports bras, or lightweight cotton tees.
