Details and Care Material: 100% Cotton Closure: Elasticated waist Colour: Multicolor Care instructions: Machine wash cold Frequently Asked Questions How does the fit run, or should I size up for a more relaxed feel? These shorts fit true to size with a regular cut that already offers room through the seat and thigh. The elasticated waist provides additional flexibility, so most customers find their normal size works well without needing to go up. Are these shorts suitable for both beach and casual daywear? Yes. The 100% woven cotton fabric breathes well in warm weather and the relaxed silhouette transitions easily from leisure to casual daywear. Unlike jersey or terry fabrics, woven cotton holds its shape and resists stretching after repeated washing, making it a more durable choice for everyday warm-weather wear. How should I care for these shorts to keep the colours vibrant? Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and turn the shorts inside out before washing. This helps preserve the multicolor print and prevents the fabric from fading over time. Avoid tumble drying on high heat and lay flat or hang to dry.
