Product Insights
The Twik Double-Pleated Dress Bermuda Short offers a tailored silhouette with a forgiving fit, thanks to an elastic back insert that adds 2-3 inches of stretch, allowing most buyers to stay true to size. The recycled polyester-viscose blend resists moderate wrinkles and maintains its crisp pleats when cared for by cold washing and air drying, then steaming or low-ironing along original creases. However, buyers report occasional light creasing after washing or sitting, which steaming readily restores, making the tradeoff between convenience and upkeep a manageable one for those seeking a polished, machine-washable short.
- Fit and sizing
Elastic back insert adds 2-3 inches of stretch, allowing most buyers to stay true to size.
Why this is supported
The brand's Q&A states that
The elastic insert at the back waist adds stretch (typically 2–3 inches)
How does the elastic insert at the back affect sizing? Should I size up if I have a larger waist?and that
most customers can stay true to size
How does the elastic insert at the back affect sizing? Should I size up if I have a larger waist?. For waists that are larger or between sizes,
the elastic often accommodates without needing to size up
How does the elastic insert at the back affect sizing? Should I size up if I have a larger waist?.
- Care
Cold wash, air dry, steam, low-iron, and fold along original creases preserve pleats.
Why this is supported
Cold water washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent
prevents the fabric from stretching, pilling, or distorting along the double-pleat fold lines.
Washing and ironing to keep the pleats crisp — washing_cold_water_gentle_cycle, and air drying by hanging from belt loops or laying flat with front creases aligned preserves fabric integrity because
High heat from a tumble dryer can break down recycled polyester fibres and flatten the heat-set pleats
Washing and ironing to keep the pleats crisp — drying_line_dry_or_lay_flat. A handheld garment steamer between wears
releases light wrinkles and revives the front pleats without flattening them
Washing and ironing to keep the pleats crisp — steam_refresh_between_wears. For deeper pressing, ironing on the synthetic/silk setting (approx 110°C) with a cotton pressing cloth reactivates pleat memory without scorching. Finally, folding along the manufactured double-pleat lines or hanging by belt loops
prevents random creasing and reduces the need for re-ironing
Washing and ironing to keep the pleats crisp — storage_fold_along_original_creases- Creasing
Buyers report occasional light creasing after washing or sitting; steaming or re-ironing restores crispness.
Why this is supported
In product Q&A, the brand acknowledges that
some light creasing may still occur after washing or sitting
Is the fabric of these shorts prone to wrinkling due to the viscose content?, which is attributed to the viscose content in the blend. Steaming or re-ironing is recommended to restore crisp pleats.
- Wrinkle resistance
Recycled polyester-viscose blend resists moderate wrinkles; steam releases creases.
Why this is supported
The recycled polyester-viscose blend substantially reduces the natural wrinkle-proneness of viscose, allowing the shorts to resist moderate wrinkling through a workday. The Q&A confirms:
Viscose is naturally prone to wrinkling, but the blend with recycled polyester helps reduce wrinkles.
Is the fabric of these shorts prone to wrinkling due to the viscose content?When light creasing does occur, a handheld garment steamer effectively releases wrinkles and revives the pleats without flattening them, as noted in care guidance:
A handheld garment steamer releases light wrinkles and revives the front pleats without flattening them
Washing and ironing to keep the pleats crisp — steam_refresh_between_wearsAdditionally, cold-water gentle washing, line drying, low-heat ironing with a pressing cloth, and folding along the pleats all help maintain the wrinkle-resistant fabric and pleat structure.

Yamamoto dupes
Nice and actually designed oversized. They make up a good yohji yamamoto dupe, but the fabric reflects the low price point, feels like plastic.
