Black and White Plaid Wide-Leg Drawstring Shorts | Black / S 100100496601207

How to measure

Use a flexible tape measure and measure the shorts laid flat on a table for the most accurate garment dimensions. Double any flat width measurement to get the full circumference.

1. Waist (garment): Lay the shorts flat and smooth the waistband. Measure across the top edge from one side to the other, then double that number to obtain the waist circumference. For elastic/drawstring waists, measure both relaxed and gently stretched to indicate the adjustment range.
2. Hip (garment): Measure across the shorts at the fullest part of the seat (about 1"–2" below the crotch seam). Double the flat measurement for hip circumference.
3. Front rise: Measure from the top center of the front waistband down to the center of the crotch seam.
4. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam along the inside leg to the bottom hem.
5. Outseam / Total length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the side seam.
6. Thigh: Measure across the thigh about 1" below the crotch seam and double for circumference.
7. Leg opening (hem): Measure across the hem and double for circumference.

Tips: Record measurements in both inches and centimeters. For a wide-leg fit, allow about 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) of ease for comfort; the drawstring lets you fine-tune the waist fit.

Materials

Exact composition may vary by production batch. Below are common fabric options for this style and what to expect from each:

• 100% Cotton: Breathable, soft, comfortable; holds shape and is easy to care for but may wrinkle slightly.
• Viscose / Rayon: Lightweight with a fluid drape that suits wide-leg silhouettes; smooth and comfortable against the skin.
• Linen or Linen-blend: Very breathable and cool, with natural texture; ideal for summer but prone to creasing.
• Polyester or Blends: Durable and wrinkle-resistant; maintains shape and is simple to care for.

Construction notes: Expect an elasticated waistband with a functional drawstring (often cotton or a cotton blend). The shorts are commonly unlined or lightly lined with finished seams for comfort. For the precise fiber percentages and lining details, refer to the product label or product specifications.

Fit note: This is a relaxed, wide-leg style. If you prefer extra room at the waist, consider sizing up; the drawstring provides additional adjustment.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash. Turn the shorts inside out before washing to protect the plaid surface.
• Use mild detergent; avoid bleach or harsh chemicals unless the care label permits them.
• Secure the drawstring or place the shorts in a mesh laundry bag to prevent tangling during the wash.
• Line dry or lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight to reduce fading; avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinkage.
• Iron on low to medium heat if needed; use a pressing cloth for delicate fabrics (viscose/linen) or steam to remove wrinkles safely.
• If the care label specifies dry clean only, follow that instruction.
• Store folded or hung on a wide hanger. Spot-clean stains promptly with a gentle soap and water solution.

Style tips

• Casual: Tuck in a fitted white tee or tank and finish with white sneakers for an easy everyday look.
• Smart-casual: Pair with a lightweight blouse or slim knit and block-heel sandals; add a thin belt to define the waist.
• Beach-ready: Wear over a swimsuit with slide sandals, a straw hat and a woven tote.
• Layered: Add a cropped denim jacket or relaxed blazer for cooler evenings—this balances the wide silhouette.
• Colors & patterns: Black-and-white plaid pairs well with bold accent colors (red, mustard, cobalt) or neutrals (beige, camel). For pattern mixing, keep other patterns small-scale or neutral.
• Accessories & shoes: Minimal jewelry and a crossbody or straw bag keep the look balanced. Try sneakers, espadrilles, mules or low heels depending on the occasion.
