FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for the office?
Yes, their tailored finish and modest length make them appropriate for smart-casual office environments when paired with professional blouses.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, it is recommended to air dry these shorts to protect the silk material and prevent shrinkage.
What is the best way to clean these?
Use a gentle hand-wash cycle with silk-safe detergent, or take them to a professional dry cleaner.
Does the material have any stretch?
The shorts are made from structured woven fabric, so they offer minimal stretch; ensure you check the size guide for your correct fit.
How should I store them to keep the pleats sharp?
The best storage method is hanging them by the waistband using garment clips.
Troubleshooting
Pleats losing their crisp shape
Lightly steam the pleats from the inside using a garment steamer to restore the structure without applying direct iron pressure.
Fabric appearing wrinkled after storage
Hang the shorts in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to allow the steam to relax the fibers before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Given the delicate nature of the silk-based woven fabric, proper care is essential to preserve the structure of the pleats.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or use a gentle cycle with a detergent formulated for silk. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the fibers and compromise the shape of the pleats.
- Storage: Hang the shorts using clips to ensure the pleats remain flat and organized. Avoid folding them in ways that create permanent creases across the front.
- Styling Compatibility: These shorts work exceptionally well with structured tops. Avoid extremely bulky knitwear which can disrupt the clean line of the high waist. Best results are achieved with fabrics that can be cleanly tucked in, such as cotton poplin, silk, or fine-gauge jersey.
