For best accuracy have the wearer stand relaxed (not sucking in) or measure the garment laid flat. Record measurements in inches or centimetres (1 in = 2.54 cm). To measure your body Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist where you normally wear your shorts. Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/buttocks with feet together. Rise: From front waistline (where shorts sit) down through the crotch to the back waistline — this gives front and back rise. For quick fit check measure front rise from crotch seam to top of front waistband. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam straight down the inside leg to the hem — this is the inseam length of the shorts. Thigh: Measure 1" (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the thigh and double the flat measurement for circumference. Leg opening: Measure the hem across the shorts (flat) and double it for circumference. To measure the shorts (laid flat) Waist (laid flat): Lay shorts flat, smooth but do not stretch the waistband. Measure straight across the top from one side to the other and multiply by 2 to get waist circumference. If the shorts have a drawstring, measure both relaxed and with the drawstring tightened to understand range. Hip (laid flat): Measure across the shorts at the widest point of the seat, then multiply by 2. Front rise: From crotch seam up to top of front waistband. Inseam: From crotch seam down to hem along the inside seam. Outseam: From top of waistband down the side to hem. Quick example: If laid-flat waist = 16" → waist circumference = 32" (81 cm). If inseam measures 8" → that is an 8" inseam. Fit tip: These drawstring shorts are designed for an adjustable, relaxed fit. If you prefer a slimmer silhouette, consider sizing down; if you want more room or plan to layer, size up. Materials Common constructions for distressed drawstring shorts and what to expect: 100% Cotton (twill or denim): Breathable, softens with wear and washing, may have slight shrinkage on first wash (usually 1–3%). Distressing is usually pre-washed to create that worn look. Cotton + Elastane (e.g., 98% cotton / 2% elastane): Adds gentle stretch for comfort and recovery—easier movement while keeping the shape. Polyester blends: Increase durability and colorfastness; may resist wrinkles and dry faster than pure cotton. Trims & hardware: Drawstring cord (cotton or polyester), metal eyelets, rivets or buttons—check care label for any metal-care notes (avoid harsh tumble temperatures). Pockets: Pocket bags are often lightweight cotton or cotton blend; if lined with mesh or polyester, they dry faster and reduce bulk. Note: Always check the sewn care tag on the garment for the exact fabric breakdown and manufacturer care instructions. About the model Reference fit to help you choose a size: Model height: 6'1" (185 cm) Model waist: 32" (81 cm) Model is wearing: Size M / 32 Inseam shown on model: approximately 7–8" (hits just above the knee on this model) Fit on model: relaxed, true to size with adjustable waistband courtesy of the drawstring. If your measurements are between two sizes, choose based on desired fit (size up for more relaxed; size down for a slimmer look). Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer) Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect distressed details and surface color. Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle; use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and strong detergents which can weaken fibers and fade color. Use a mesh laundry bag for extra protection, especially if distressing has loose threads. Avoid fabric softener—it can break down fibers and reduce the crispness of distressed finishes. Tumble dry low or, for best life and minimal shrinkage, line dry or lay flat to dry. Remove promptly to reduce creasing. Iron on low heat on the reverse side only if necessary; avoid ironing over distressed holes or frays. For spot stains, gently dab with a mild detergent solution; avoid aggressive scrubbing on distressed areas. Store folded or on a wide hanger to maintain waistband shape; avoid hanging from the drawstring alone. Style Tips Everyday casual: Pair with a plain white tee and low-top canvas sneakers. Add a baseball cap for a relaxed weekend look. Beach-ready: Lightweight linen or short-sleeve button-up, slides or espadrilles, and sunglasses. Smart-casual: Polo shirt or a slim-fit short-sleeve knit with leather loafers or minimalist sneakers. Keep accessories simple (leather strap watch, braided belt). Layering: Throw on a lightweight overshirt or denim jacket for cooler evenings—balance the distressed texture with clean, structured tops. Color pairing: For indigo/distressed denim shorts, stick to neutrals—white, grey, olive, navy—or warm tones like rust and tan for contrast. Sock & shoe guide: No-show socks with sneakers for a modern casual look; high socks can work with boots for an edgier style if the inseam is longer. Fit advice: Since the shorts have a drawstring, you can adjust the waist—use this feature to balance a slightly larger or smaller fit around the waist.
