Why You’ll Love It

Let’s be real — you need shorts that can keep up. From couch to coffee runs (and maybe even a quick panic tidy before guests arrive), the Essentials Shorts have your back... and your bum, comfortably covered.

These aren’t just any lounge shorts. Ridiculously soft & stretches in all the right places and stays breathable when life gets a little sweaty. The high-rise elastic waist is there to love you through every snack break, toddler wrangle and “I forgot we had swimming today” moment.

These shorts bring a lil' something-something to your everyday look. And yes, they’ve got real side pockets — because life’s too short for fake ones.

Why you’ll love her:

  • High-rise waistband that doesn’t dig or roll
  • Relaxed, roomy, and ridiculously comfy
  • Actual side pockets (the real MVP)
  • Perfect for lounging, mum-ing, napping, and beyond
  • 92% Cotton / 8% Spandex
  • In our exclusive Red Wildhearts print
  • Pregnancy and postpartum friendly
  • Made in PRC

Match them with the Essentials Tee for a full rodeo-ready moment.

How It Fits (Spoiler: Like a Dream)

Our Essentials Shorts are loose fitting and light weight. We would suggest this design for you if you are someone who likes oversized loose fitting clothing. Our size recommendation is exactly that, a recommendation and is based on general sizing. Please keep in mind everyone's fit preference and body is different.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE BEST SIZE/FIT
• We recommend choosing your size based on your waist and hip measurements
• If you're ever unsure please contact our customer service team who will be more than happy to assist you in choosing the correct size.

Love Me Long Time (Care Tips)

🌸 How to Care for Your Essentials Shorts

Your Red Wildhearts Essentials Shorts are made for real life — the coffee runs, the couch hangs, the “I forgot we had swimming today” scrambles. Here’s how to keep them comfy, stretchy, and rodeo-ready for the long haul:

Wash me cool – Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle is my jam. Flip me inside out to protect my Wildhearts print and soft stretch.

Air time only – Tumble dryers are a no-go (they’ll mess with my fit). Let me dry flat or hang me in the shade.

Iron love – If I’m looking a little crinkly, give me a light steam or a warm iron on reverse. Easy does it.

Skip the nasties – Harsh chemicals, soaking, or bleach will dull my print. Keep it simple and I’ll stay bold.

Store me chill – Fold me and pop me in a drawer, ready for whatever chaos (or nap time) tomorrow brings.

First time TLC

I originally purchased this in a size up as I always need to size up in tops for bust space- im about a 12/14 build but HH cup. Ended up buying a M/L ans it's still oversized on me, so could have sized down but I like a baggy fit.

Cobalt blue linen set! L/XL exchange for the smaller size

I’m very happy with my purchase!! I received my package a few weeks ago post the Black Friday sales! At first try on the oversized set was extremely to big for me (this was my first time ordering from TLC, and wasn’t a 100% on the sizing) I was able to exchange my set for a smaller size in both the top and pants!
I could have got away with the M/L top aswell as the M/L pants but opted for L/XL in the top (happy with it now, the size up I could fit another whole curvy gal in with me and still have room!)
The exchange was easy! Just scanned the QR code provided and away I went!
I now have the L/XL cobalt blue linen top and the M/L pants and I’m happy to say this set will getting a work out whilst I’m in Europe and beyond!!
