Fabric & Construction Details
We’ve selected a premium cotton-spandex blend that delivers the perfect balance of structure and give. The fabric weight is substantial enough to maintain a polished appearance while remaining breathable for warm-weather wear.
Our truth by republic shorts feature double-stitched seams throughout, with reinforced bar tacks at stress points like pocket corners and fly openings. The zipper is a heavy-duty YKK component that glides smoothly and holds securely. We’ve added a clean finish to all interior seams to prevent fraying, even after dozens of wash cycles.
Sizing & Fit Guide
These shorts run true to standard U.S. women’s sizing from size 0 through 18. The mid-rise waistband sits approximately 9 inches below the natural waist, creating a modern silhouette that pairs beautifully with both tucked and untucked tops.
We offer two inseam lengths to accommodate different preferences and proportions. The 5-inch inseam hits mid-thigh on most frames, while the 7-inch option provides slightly more coverage and works especially well for taller heights. Both lengths maintain the same flattering leg opening that skims without clinging.
Care Instructions & Longevity
Machine wash your truth by republic shorts in cold water with like colors to preserve fabric integrity and color saturation. We recommend turning them inside out before washing to protect the exterior finish and minimize pilling.
Tumble dry on low heat or line dry for best results. High heat can degrade the elastane fibers over time, reducing the garment’s stretch and recovery properties. If ironing is needed, use a medium setting and avoid direct contact with any printed or embellished areas.
