Product Insights
The Striped Lightweight Poplin Short from Contemporaine combines a wide-leg, high-rise silhouette with a stretchy waistband (26–28 in unstretched, stretching to 30–32 in) and 100% cotton poplin that resists pilling and wrinkles more effectively than linen, recovers quickly from creasing, and maintains its shape in humidity; the structured warp-faced weave prevents leg collapse, while the fabric absorbs up to 24 times its weight in moisture yet dries fast and resists clinging, making it travel-friendly—though machine drying causes shrinkage, so air drying is recommended.
