Size XXS XS S M L XL 2XL 3XL

These are the perfect pair of breathable shorts for throwing on and looking put-together, no effort required. Designed with fluctuating bodies in mind, they are not too short, feature an elasticated waistband and flattering relaxed tailoring on the hips. Finally, a pair of shorts that look cool and feels comfortable - even when you might not be feeling the best in your skin.

Chic enough to wear all day, comfy enough to sleep in all night, there a reason we’re constantly told by customers “I live in my Periodicals”.

Perfect for

bloating
fluxuating sizes
periods / abdominal discomfort
hot flushes + night sweats
peri + menopausal
maternity outfits that you’ll actually wear after birth
wearing in the heat (lightweight holiday clothing)

Easy to style with your existing wardrobe or paired with the matching shirt as part of your favourite co-ord:

Made from breathable 100% cotton
Machine washable at 30°C
Deep concealed pockets
Printed in small batch production
Comfortable + flattering elasticated waistband
Long enough to wear in the city

Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, slight variations may occur - making every piece beautifully unique.

All prints are hand-drawn by Roma in her London studio and brought to life in Jaipur by skilled artisan makers using traditional screen-printing techniques. Produced in small batches as part of Periodical’s slow approach to fashion, each piece is thoughtfully made with comfort, sustainability, and effortless everyday wear in mind.

If your order is to be delivered outside the UK, it may attract import duty and local sales taxes which customers will need to pay on receipt of the shipment. Any additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you. These rules vary by country and your local government determines duty and customs charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information.

Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase.

If you are in any way unhappy with your goods you may send them back for an exchange or a full refund, excluding postage.

We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to return it.

To be eligible for a return or exchange, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return or exchange, you can contact us at hello@periodicalpowers.com. If your return/exchange is accepted, we’ll send you where to send your package.

Please note that we are not responsible for return postage.

We offer Standard Tracked Delivery (same as Free Delivery for all orders over £100) which will be sent out with Royal Mail 2nd Class Delivery and generally takes 3-5 working days. We also offer an Express Delivery (Royal Mail Tracked 24 Hours), which generally arrives 1-2 days after being sent out.

All of our styles are in a relaxed, loose fit. If you are between sizes, customers usually find they can size down and still have a comfortable fit, especially in our jumpsuits. You can find our UK/EU/US size chart here.

Our ranges are made from 100% cotton. The cotton we use has an open weave, which makes it very breathable and gives it a lovely texture - giving it a similar appearance to linen (without creasing as much!)

We design all the fabrics ourself, in our London-based studio and they are all screen printed on the cotton in small batches and often limited runs.

Yes, everything is machine-washable at 30 degrees or cooler.

We are looking to grow both retail, marketing and operations team. If you have a skill-set that you think could benefit Periodical, get in touch with a cover letter at hello@periodicalpowers.com.
