Product Information
Full details
Designed for adults seeking a polished yet comfortable warm-weather staple, the Dorothy Perkins Turn Up Short offers a versatile aesthetic that bridges the gap between casual and refined. Featuring a mid-length cut and a structured straight-leg silhouette, these shorts provide a modest, flattering fit suitable for various daytime events; however, because they are crafted from linen, they may require regular ironing to maintain a crisp, wrinkle-free appearance throughout the day.

FAQs
What material are these shorts made from?
These shorts are crafted from linen, chosen for its breathability and durability in warm weather.
Are these shorts suitable for formal occasions?
They are best suited for smart-casual events such as garden parties, brunches, or relaxed gatherings.
How should I wash them?
We recommend a cool, gentle machine wash and hang-drying to preserve the fabric and the turn-up hem structure.
Do these shorts have any stretch?
No, they are made from traditional linen which does not typically contain stretch fibers, offering a more structured fit.
Can I iron these shorts?
Yes, using a steam iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp will yield the best results for removing wrinkles.
Are the turn-up hems adjustable?
The turn-up hem is a design feature intended to stay fixed to provide the tailored aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Fabric has become heavily wrinkled.
Lightly mist the shorts with water and use a steam iron on the linen setting to smooth out fibers.
Shorts feel slightly stiff after washing.
Ensure you are using a fabric conditioner during the rinse cycle or hang them in a gentle breeze to soften the linen fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shorts stay in the best condition, always check the internal care label before cleaning. Due to the linen material, it is recommended to wash on a cool, gentle cycle to prevent excessive shrinking. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the fibers and exacerbate wrinkling; instead, hang-dry the shorts while damp. To remove deep creases, iron while the fabric is slightly moist, or use a steamer on a low setting. For styling compatibility, these shorts work best with lighter, natural fabrics like cotton or matching linen to maintain the intended breathable aesthetic.
