These shorts are constructed from a dense, ribbed knit that clings through the hip and thigh, finished with a high, deep-folded waistband that acts as a structural anchor. The chocolate-and-cream colorway leans into a 1970s athletic aesthetic, trading performance gear for a loungewear silhouette that emphasizes a clean, high-cut leg.

Safety Rating: Poor: Chemically Processed Semi-Synthetics

Analysis: The 100% viscose composition relies on heavy chemical processing—specifically the use of carbon disulfide—to dissolve cellulose into fibers. While it offers a soft hand-feel, it lacks the durability and moisture-management profile of natural fibers and is prone to losing structural integrity when wet.
