Product Overview
The SF Women's Retro Shorts offer a classic aesthetic blended with modern athletic performance. These shorts are designed for those who require freedom of movement without sacrificing style. Featuring contrast binding and curved side hems, they evoke a timeless sporty look that remains functional for active environments, fitness settings, or leisurewear.
Key Features
- Slim fit with contrast binding: Provides a modern, streamlined silhouette that moves with the wearer, while the binding ensures the edges maintain their shape over time.
- Elasticated waist with drawcord: Offers a secure and adjustable fit, allowing for comfort across various body shapes and throughout long shifts.
- Tear-out label: Allows for easy rebranding or increased wearer comfort by removing potential irritation at the waistline.
- Curved side hems: Specifically designed to offer maximum freedom of movement, preventing the fabric from restricting the legs during physical activity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% cotton single jersey, these shorts provide a soft, breathable experience that is essential for active use. The medium-weight fabric offers a substantial feel that suggests durability and quality, yet remains light enough to ensure the wearer stays cool. The single jersey knit provides a smooth surface, which is not only comfortable against the skin but also serves as an ideal canvas for high-quality branding.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
These retro shorts are exceptionally well-suited for customisation, whether you require a uniform look for a sports team or promotional apparel for an event. Our in-house team at MyWorkwear, based in Telford since 1976, handles all customisation to ensure the highest standards.
Embroidery is an excellent choice for small, intricate company logos or individual names, providing a textured, premium finish that is incredibly durable. For larger, more vibrant designs that need to stand out, our high-quality print services are recommended. The smooth cotton surface ensures excellent ink adhesion and a crisp, professional finish for any logo or brand message.
Use Cases
While originally inspired by athletic wear, these shorts are highly versatile. They are an excellent choice for fitness instructors, dance studios, or leisure staff. They also serve as effective loungewear for hospitality staff or as part of a summer uniform for outdoor promotional teams and event organisers.
Why MyWorkwear
Choosing MyWorkwear means partnering with a company that has nearly five decades of industry expertise. Since 1976, we have been providing expert clothing solutions from our base in Telford. We understand that your workwear is an extension of your brand, which is why we maintain strict quality control over every embroidered and printed garment we produce.
Practical Advice
The slim-fit nature of these shorts means they sit closer to the body for a modern look. If you prefer a more relaxed fit for certain activities, you may wish to consider selecting a size up. We offer a full range of sizes from XS (UK 8) to 2XL (UK 18) to accommodate your entire team.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance and longevity of these cotton shorts, proper care is essential. We recommend a domestic wash at 40°C on a cotton cycle. This temperature effectively removes dirt and perspiration while preserving the integrity of the cotton fibres and ensuring your custom branding remains vibrant.
Do not use bleach, as this will degrade the fabric structure and cause significant discolouration. Similarly, these shorts should not be tumble dried or dry cleaned; high heat and harsh chemicals can lead to shrinkage and may damage the bond of printed logos. Instead, reshape the garment while it is still damp and allow it to dry naturally, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
When ironing, use a medium setting (two dots) and always iron on the reverse of any decoration. Direct heat on embroidery or print can melt or distort the design, compromising the professional appearance of your workwear.
