FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: WOMEN'S SHORTS

What length are your shorts?

Our shorts vary by style. Bermuda shorts typically have a 9-11" inseam (above the knee). Tailored and high-waisted styles range from 3-5" (mid-thigh). Each product page includes the exact inseam measurement.

Are your linen shorts see-through?

No. Our linen shorts are constructed with a dense enough weave to ensure opacity. We recommend choosing a colour that matches your comfort level – darker shades offer more coverage, while lighter linens are lined where necessary.

Do you offer shorts in petite lengths?

While we don't currently have a specific petite range, our high-waisted and tailored styles are designed to be proportioned for the average female height. Check the inseam measurements on each product page to find your ideal length.

How should I care for my linen shorts?

Linen is a natural fibre that softens with wear and washing. We recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees, or hand washing. Tumble drying is not recommended – line dry or lay flat. Linen wrinkles beautifully – embrace the natural texture or use a warm iron if you prefer a crisp finish.

What's the difference between your tailored and casual shorts?

Tailored shorts feature structured elements like pleats, darts, and crisp fabrics (cotton twill, crepe) – ideal for smarter occasions. Casual shorts (linen drawstring, jersey, denim) prioritise softness and ease with relaxed silhouettes.

Can I wear shorts for work in summer?

Absolutely – with the right styling. Our tailored shorts in neutral colours (navy, black, beige) paired with a silk blouse and blazer create a polished, summer-appropriate work look. Check your workplace dress code first.

Do you offer free returns on shorts?

Yes, all full-price shorts orders qualify for free UK returns within 28 days. Shorts must be unworn with original tags attached.

How do I find my correct size in shorts?

We recommend checking the size guide on each product page, which includes waist and hip measurements. Our shorts are cut to fit UK sizes 6-18 consistently. If between sizes, consider the fabric – linen and cotton have minimal stretch, while denim and jersey offer more give.

FABRIC CARE: KEEPING YOUR SHORTS AT THEIR BEST

Linen: Wash at 30°C gentle cycle. Remove promptly to minimise creasing. Iron while damp if a crisp finish is desired. Linen softens beautifully with each wash.

Cotton Twill (Tailored): Machine wash cold. Hang to dry. Iron on reverse side to maintain the crisp finish.

Denim: Wash inside out at 30°C to preserve colour. Avoid tumble drying to maintain fit. Denim improves with age – wash less frequently to retain shape.

Jersey/Cotton Stretch: Machine wash cold. Reshape while damp. These fabrics are naturally low-maintenance and travel-friendly.
