Jorts FAQs:
What are jorts and how do they differ from regular denim shorts?
Jorts, short for "jean shorts," are denim shorts crafted from repurposed jeans or denim fabric. They are typically characterized by their raw hemlines and casual, rugged appearance. Unlike regular denim shorts, which are often pre-designed and manufactured as shorts, jorts are usually created by cutting off the legs of old jeans to create a new pair of shorts. This DIY approach gives jorts a unique, one-of-a-kind look that sets them apart from traditional denim shorts. However, jorts are now more characterised by their longer length than typical denim shorts.
How should I care for my jorts to maintain their quality?
To ensure your jorts stay in optimal condition, we recommend following the care instructions provided on the garment's label. Generally, jorts can be machine washed with like colours and tumble dried on a low setting. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fabric and affect the colour. Additionally, to prevent fraying, it's advisable to avoid over-washing and to trim any loose threads as needed. With proper care, your jorts will continue to look stylish and feel comfortable for many seasons to come.
Are jorts suitable for all body types or are there specific styles that flatter certain figures?
Jorts come in a variety of styles and cuts to suit different body types and preferences. For those with shorter legs, high-waisted jorts can elongate the silhouette and create the illusion of longer legs. Conversely, mid-rise or low-rise jorts may be more flattering for individuals with longer torsos. Additionally, straight-leg or relaxed-fit jorts offer a more relaxed and comfortable fit for those with curvier figures, while slim-fit or tailored jorts can provide a more streamlined look. Ultimately, the key is to try on different styles and find the fit and silhouette that makes you feel confident and comfortable.
