Trying to make orange shorts pink?

I have a pair of bright orange cotton bike shorts and I want to make them a hot pink. I've been told that putting pink fabric dye straight on the orange will look yuck and I've also been told I should chlorine bleach them white first then dye them pink but I don't know anything about chlorine bleaching clothes and I don't want to ruin them. Please help any advice would be good :) thank you

Update:

I would love to just buy pink shorts but the type of boyleg they are has been extremely hard to find in any shops where I live and I need them for an occasion. Do you know what would happen if I put chlorine on them?

    unless your shorts cost more than $30

    you would be cheaper buying new ones by the time you buy everything to achieve this, assuming you havent dyed anything before

    bleaching clothes doesnt produce the same effect or colour on everything

    material type matters

    i have just bleach stamp dyed green linen

    it came out a shade of yellow

    i have just stamp dyed a black t shirt, it came out burnt orange

    but the black jeans i did, they came out pink

    buy new pink shorts
