Frequently Asked Questions
Does the cotton content make this cooler to wear in summer?
Yes — the 50% cotton content makes this set noticeably more breathable and comfortable in warm weather than a fully synthetic alternative. Cotton absorbs moisture and allows airflow, making it a genuinely practical choice for summer lounging and casual outings.
Are the shorts high or mid-rise?
The shorts have a comfortable mid-to-high rise with an elastic waistband for an easy, adjustable fit. The rise is flattering and comfortable for extended wearing without being restrictive.
Can I wear the tee and shorts separately?
Yes — the stripe tee works well as a standalone casual top with jeans, denim shorts or other bottoms. The stripe shorts pair equally well with plain white, black or cream tops for a split-set summer look.
Is black and white stripe a year-round pattern?
Absolutely — black and white stripe is one of the most seasonless, timeless patterns in fashion. The contrast edge detailing keeps this set feeling current while the classic stripe base ensures it never feels dated.
How should I wash this set to keep the stripe crisp?
Machine wash at 30°C inside out with similar colours. The inside-out wash protects the surface of the stripe from friction that can cause fading. Avoid tumble drying on high heat — air dry to preserve the contrast between the black and white tones.
