Do the drawstrings function to adjust the waist size?

Yes, the elasticated waist features functional drawstrings that allow you to adjust and secure the fit.

Are the pockets deep enough for a smartphone?

The pockets are located at the side seams and are suitable for small essentials. For larger smartphones, they may fit depending on the phone's dimensions, but it's advisable to check personal experience or reviews if possible.

Troubleshooting

Shorts feel too tight or loose

Adjust the drawstrings for a tighter or looser fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size, as these are designed for a petite fit.

Pockets feel shallow

Pocket depth can vary. For carrying larger items, consider a small bag or accessory.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have followed the recommended washing temperature. Air drying or low tumble dry can help maintain softness.

Drawstrings are difficult to adjust

Ensure the drawstrings are not tangled. If they become permanently creased, a gentle iron might help to straighten them, but avoid excessive heat.
