FAQs

Are these shorts true to size?

Yes, they are designed as a slim fit, so they will sit snugly against the body. If you prefer a loose fit, consider sizing up.

Can I wear these for swimming?

While the fabric is breathable, these are designed for gym and leisure wear, not as swimwear.

How do I choose the right size?

The shorts are available in various UK dress sizes (e.g., 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16). Refer to your standard dress size for the best fit.

Does the material stretch?

Yes, the garment is designed with materials that provide flexibility to support athletic movement.

Are they machine washable?

Yes, they are machine washable, but we recommend a cool, gentle cycle to maximize the garment's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Waistband feels too loose during exercise

Adjust the integrated drawstring if present, or ensure the elastic is seated properly above your hips to prevent slipping.

Fabric irritation after long wear

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can build up on synthetic fibers and cause skin sensitivity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your adidas shorts maintain their elasticity and shape, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with similar colors.
  2. Drying: Air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the elastic waistband and the fabric fibers.
  3. Avoid Bleach: Do not use harsh detergents or bleach, as these can fade the signature 3-stripes.
  4. Compatibility: These shorts pair best with form-fitting compression layers or loose-fitting oversized tees for a balanced athleisure look.
