Product Insights
Twik's Pleated Dress Short offers a leg-lengthening, polished suiting silhouette without bulk, thanks to front pleats that provide hip room and a soft vertical drape, combined with an 11.75-in rise and 4.5-in inseam. Made from a wrinkle-resistant, breathable crepe of 63% recycled polyester, 33% viscose, and 4% spandex, it delivers the same crisp pleats and fluid drape as virgin polyester. The Simons-exclusive design incorporates a zip fly with belt loops for a crisp seated fit, and its high rise allows tucking tops and belts for office-to-evening wear. A tradeoff: preserving the crepe's pebbled texture requires cold delicate wash and flat drying.
Verified claims
- Fabric
- Crepe fabric resists wrinkles, breathes, and drapes softly.
- Care
- Turning the shorts inside out, washing on a cold delicate cycle in a mesh bag, and flat drying preserves crepe's pebbled texture and pleat alignment.
- Pleat behavior
- Front pleats provide extra hip room and flare gently rather than lying flat, with a soft drape that moves naturally and lengthens the leg.
- Proportions
- 11.75-in rise and 4.5-in inseam lengthen the leg silhouette.
- Inseam length
- 4.5-in inseam is slightly longer than the 4-in norm on Target and Banana Republic dress shorts.
- Tailoring
- Front pleats add hip room and zip fly with belt loops keep them crisp when seated.
- Brand exclusivity
- Twik is a Simons-exclusive brand with limited production runs.
- Design philosophy
- Twik's design philosophy is to add one unexpected detail to simple silhouettes.
- Target demographic
- Twik caters to a younger audience with trend-forward details.
- Value proposition

- Fit and design
- High-waisted shorts with front pleats, 4.5 inseam, and belt loops.
- Recycled content
- 63% recycled polyester, 33% viscose, 4% spandex crepe delivers same crisp pleats and fluid drape as virgin polyester.
- Brand provenance
- Twik, a Simons-exclusive house brand designed in Canada, incorporates recycled polyester in limited-production garments.
- Occasions
- High rise and belt loops allow tucked tops and belts for office-to-evening wear.
- Silhouette
- Pleated crepe creates a leg-lengthening, polished suiting silhouette without bulk.
- Belt loop compatibility
- Belt loops on these shorts are typically sized to fit belts up to 1.5 inches wide, but the exact maximum width is not confirmed for this style.
