From Court to Street
The shorts are built for the move between sport and everyday wear ā relaxed enough for warm days, printed enough to carry a street outfit. The fabric is on the heavier side for shorts, which keeps the printed surface flat and stops the pattern going sheer, and the cut sits above the knee so the leg line stays clean under an oversized top.
Three Ways to Do It
- Rhinestone patches: the statement pair, best kept as the loudest piece with a plain top.
- Valley Script: the everyday option ā wordmark down the leg, easy to mix.
- Distressed: a worn-in finish that sits closer to the tracksuit bottoms in tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the shorts have a drawcord or an elastic waist?
Most styles use an elasticated waistband, with a drawcord on the track-style pairs. The elastic gives flexibility either side of your usual size, so the leg opening and inseam matter more than the waist when you are choosing. Check the product page for the specific style.
Can I machine wash the rhinestone pair, or does it need a bag?
Machine washing is fine, but protect the embellishment: turn the shorts inside out, use a cold cycle, and put them in a mesh laundry bag. Never bleach them and never tumble dry on high heat ā heat is what loosens rhinestones and dulls the adhesive. Air drying keeps the patches on.
Will an all-over print bleed onto other clothes in the wash?
Not on a cold cycle. Wash printed pieces inside out, keep them with similar colours, and hang to dry. Colour transfer comes from heat and from washing a new print with pale fabrics on a warm cycle, so cold water and separate loads keep the pattern sharp and your other clothes clean.
