Product Overview
The Front Row Women's Stretch Chino Shorts are a sophisticated solution for organisations requiring a balance between a formal appearance and practical comfort. These shorts are engineered from a high-quality, cotton-rich stretch twill that has been garment washed, resulting in a remarkably soft hand-feel from the very first wear. Designed with a clean, flat front, they offer a streamlined silhouette that serves as an excellent foundation for a professional team uniform or high-end leisurewear. The inclusion of elastane ensures these shorts move with the wearer, making them an ideal choice for active environments where presentation remains paramount.
Key Features
- Stretch Fabric Composition: The blend of cotton and elastane provides essential flexibility, ensuring the wearer can move freely without the fabric pulling or losing its shape throughout the day.
- Tag-Free Design: By removing the traditional neck label, these shorts are perfectly primed for seamless rebranding, allowing your own company identity to take centre stage without irritation.
- Functional Pocket Configuration: Featuring slanted front pockets and two back welt pockets, these shorts provide discreet yet practical storage for essential items.
- High-Quality YKK Zip Fly: The use of industry-standard YKK hardware ensures long-term reliability and smooth operation, preventing common failure points found in lesser garments.
- Belt Loops and Plain Hem: These traditional tailoring details allow for easy accessorising and a crisp, professional finish that suits a variety of workplace settings.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a lightweight cotton-rich twill, these shorts are designed to withstand the rigours of a busy working environment while maintaining a sharp appearance. The 97% cotton content ensures maximum breathability, which is vital for comfort during warmer months or in temperature-controlled hospitality environments. The addition of 3% elastane is a technical necessity for modern workwear, providing just enough 'give' to prevent the fabric from straining at the seams during physical activity.
The garment-washed finish is not merely for aesthetics; it pre-shrinks the fabric slightly and softens the fibres, ensuring that the fit remains consistent and comfortable even after multiple trips through the laundry. This attention to detail reflects a well-engineered garment that prioritises the needs of the professional user.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These chino shorts are highly versatile canvases for your company branding. For a truly professional and long-lasting finish, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your logo or staff names onto the fabric, providing a textured, high-quality appearance that withstands frequent washing.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics—perhaps for a promotional event or a specific club identity—our precision printing services are equally effective. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been refining these techniques in-house, ensuring that every stitch and every print meets our exacting standards of quality and durability.
Use Cases
These shorts are an exceptional choice for the hospitality sector, particularly for front-of-house staff in outdoor dining or resort environments. They are also widely adopted by sports clubs, travel organisations, and businesses looking for a smart-casual summer uniform that doesn't compromise on professional standards.

We combine decades of experience with modern technology to ensure your team looks the part, day in and day out.
Practical Advice
These shorts are available in a comprehensive size range from XS to 2XL. Given the stretch nature of the fabric, they offer a forgiving fit; however, we recommend consulting our specific size guide to ensure the best fit for your team. They pair excellently with a tucked-in polo shirt or a crisp button-down for a complete professional look.
Caring for your product
To maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and the vibrancy of your customisation, we recommend a synthetic wash at 40°C. Washing at higher temperatures can damage the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of shape over time.
Always wash and dry the shorts inside out. This simple step protects the face of the fabric and any embroidery or print from the abrasive action of the washing machine drum, ensuring your branding stays looking sharp for longer.
It is important to avoid the use of bleach and tumble dryers. Bleach will degrade the cotton fibres and fade the colour, while the intense heat of a tumble dryer can cause the elastane to become brittle and snap. Instead, dry the garment away from direct heat and sunlight to prevent uneven fading.
When ironing, use a two-dot setting on the reverse side of the fabric. This prevents 'shining' the twill and protects any printed elements from heat damage. If you choose to dry clean, these shorts are compatible with 'P' process cleaning chemicals.
