What is the primary material?

Do these shorts have pockets?
The pleated design includes functional tailoring, though you should check the physical garment to confirm pocket placement and depth.
Can I wear these for more formal occasions?

Troubleshooting
Pleats losing shape after washing
Iron the pleats carefully while the fabric is damp, pressing along the existing lines to restore their crisp appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Dorothy Perkins Pleated Shorts in the best condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Turn the shorts inside out before placing them in the washing machine. Wash with like colors using a cold, gentle cycle to protect the denim dye.
- Drying: Air-drying on a hanger or drying rack is recommended to prevent shrinking or damage to the fabric structure. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting while the fabric is slightly damp to smooth out the pleats.
- Storage: Hang the shorts by the waistband or fold them neatly to preserve the integrity of the pleats during storage.
