Bare Short

These shorts are cut from a high-sheen synthetic with a fluid, liquid-like drape that emphasizes the saturated royal blue pigment. The construction is minimal, featuring a simple elasticated waistband and a short, curved hemline that mimics vintage athletic loungewear. It leans into the brand’s penchant for after-dark polish, functioning best as a sharp, high-contrast base layer.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: This garment is composed of 100% polyester, a petroleum-based synthetic fiber that lacks natural breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities. The plastic-derived construction poses risks regarding microplastic shedding and potential skin irritation due to the fiber's inability to regulate heat and humidity against the body.
