Product Insights

Twik's Pleated Dress Short offers a leg-lengthening, polished suiting silhouette without bulk, thanks to front pleats that provide hip room and a soft vertical drape, combined with an 11.75-in rise and 4.5-in inseam. Made from a wrinkle-resistant, breathable crepe of 63% recycled polyester, 33% viscose, and 4% spandex, it delivers the same crisp pleats and fluid drape as virgin polyester. The Simons-exclusive design incorporates a zip fly with belt loops for a crisp seated fit, and its high rise allows tucking tops and belts for office-to-evening wear. A tradeoff: preserving the crepe's pebbled texture requires cold delicate wash and flat drying.

Verified claims

Fabric
Crepe fabric resists wrinkles, breathes, and drapes softly.
Care
Turning the shorts inside out, washing on a cold delicate cycle in a mesh bag, and flat drying preserves crepe's pebbled texture and pleat alignment.
Pleat behavior
Front pleats provide extra hip room and flare gently rather than lying flat, with a soft drape that moves naturally and lengthens the leg.
Proportions
11.75-in rise and 4.5-in inseam lengthen the leg silhouette.
Inseam length
4.5-in inseam is slightly longer than the 4-in norm on Target and Banana Republic dress shorts.
Tailoring
Front pleats add hip room and zip fly with belt loops keep them crisp when seated.
Brand exclusivity
Twik is a Simons-exclusive brand with limited production runs.
Design philosophy
Twik's design philosophy is to add one unexpected detail to simple silhouettes.
Target demographic
Twik caters to a younger audience with trend-forward details.
Value proposition
Steeply discounted Simons-exclusive shorts made with 63% recycled polyester.
Fit and design
High-waisted shorts with front pleats, 4.5 inseam, and belt loops.
Recycled content
63% recycled polyester, 33% viscose, 4% spandex crepe delivers same crisp pleats and fluid drape as virgin polyester.
Brand provenance
Twik, a Simons-exclusive house brand designed in Canada, incorporates recycled polyester in limited-production garments.
Occasions
High rise and belt loops allow tucked tops and belts for office-to-evening wear.
Silhouette
Pleated crepe creates a leg-lengthening, polished suiting silhouette without bulk.
Belt loop compatibility
Belt loops on these shorts are typically sized to fit belts up to 1.5 inches wide, but the exact maximum width is not confirmed for this style.
Buyer feedback
One buyer review describes the shorts as cute, office-appropriate, and soft, with a fit the reviewer calls almost made for me.
