FAQs

What is the inseam length of these shorts?

The length of the shorts is approximately 44cm. Specific inseam measurements may vary slightly.

Are these shorts suitable for tall individuals?

These shorts are designed with a petite fit, meaning they are intended for shorter frames. Taller individuals may find the length too short.

What material are the shorts made from?

The shorts are made from a blend of 97% Polyester and 3% Viscose.

Can I wear these shorts for formal occasions?

No, these shorts are designed for casual wear only due to their style and fabric.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide and consider your usual petite sizing. The elasticated waist and drawstring allow for some adjustment.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The pockets are side seam pockets, suitable for small items like keys or cards. Smartphone size may vary, so fit is not guaranteed.

What season are these shorts best suited for?

These shorts are ideal for warmer months, such as Spring and Summer, due to their short length and lightweight fabric blend.

Troubleshooting

Fit is too tight/loose at the waist.

Adjust the drawstring to achieve a comfortable and secure fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements.

Fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not overloading the washing machine. Tumble drying on a low setting or air drying can help soften the fabric.

Drawstring comes undone easily.

Tie a double knot in the drawstring for added security. If the drawstring material is very smooth, consider a different knot style.
