Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles after sitting
Linen is a natural fiber prone to creasing. Use a handheld steamer for a quick refresh between wears.
Shorts feel slightly tight after washing
Linen can contract when washed in high heat. Air drying and a light steam press can help relax the fibers back to their original fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Karen Millen Woven Shorts retain their structure and color vibrancy, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Always check the inner garment label. Due to the linen construction, a delicate machine wash cycle or professional dry cleaning is recommended to preserve the fiber integrity.
- Drying: Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can cause significant shrinkage. Air dry flat or hang carefully to maintain the shape of the pleats.
- Ironing: Iron while slightly damp using a medium-hot setting to remove wrinkles effectively. Avoid excessive heat directly on the hem band.
- Storage: Hang the shorts on a proper garment hanger to prevent deep creasing that occurs when folded.
