A little TLC for your piece

How to Care for Your Matilda Shorts

These denim beauties are made to move with you, but a little extra care keeps them looking their best:

Wash me cool – Cold gentle machine wash inside out to protect my colour and shape.

Keep it simple – No bleach, soaking, or harsh chemicals — I’m too good for that.

Dry me naturally – Line dry in the shade. Tumble drying isn’t my thing.

Smooth me out – If I’m crinkly, a warm iron on reverse will do the trick.

Love me long-term – Store folded or on a hanger, ready for your next bed-to-beach moment.

Matilda black shorts for the win

I love these shorts because they are so easy to style in different ways. I love a matching set with the black top but also with the red gingham . Can be dressed up and dressed down with the top and accessories .

Will never wear any other pair of shorts again

I was a bit skeptical about the matildas originally because I am a bigger thigh girly and shorts are always a hit or miss but after being obsessed with the posey pants I thought I would try. But I tell you I will never go back to wearing any other pair of shorts again. The Matilda’s are so comfy and loose enough for room but not too oversized that they look ridiculous. The material is to die for, will be buying in multiple colours!
