Machine wash cold with like colors and line dry or tumble dry on low to protect elasticity. If the fabric contains elastane, avoid high heat and rough cycles to prevent fiber damage.

For a cargo-inspired look, choose elastic waisted slim shorts in the cargo category from brands like defacto, which offers 100% cotton options in colors such as black, beige, and green. If you prefer a cleaner, everyday pair, the lc-waikiki range includes 100% cotton or blended fabrics in beige and other neutrals.

Start by measuring your natural waist and compare it to the size chart for each brand, such as lc-waikiki or defacto. Because the waist is elastic, you have some stretch, but overall fit also depends on rise and fabric. If you’re between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort or the smaller for a sleeker look, and consider trying both if you’re shopping multiple brands.
