It is recommended to use a low-heat setting or air-dry to prevent shrinkage and protect the fabric quality.

Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose during movement
Adjust the integrated drawstring to tighten the fit securely around your hips.
Fabric feels restrictive during deep stretches
Ensure the shorts are positioned correctly on your waist and check that you have selected the appropriate size for your frame; the slim cut is intended to be close-fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the right fit is essential for these slim-style shorts. Because the fit is tailored, ensure you reference the UK sizing guide (e.g., size 8 UK) to match your measurements accurately. To maintain the integrity of the breathable fabric and the quality of the 3-Stripes detail, it is recommended to wash the shorts in cold water with similar colors. Avoid using harsh bleach or heavy-duty fabric softeners, as these can degrade the elasticity of the waistband. Always air-dry or tumble dry on a low setting to prevent shrinkage and preserve the shape of the garment.
