Faux Leather Shorts

These faux leather shorts trade the usual slouch for a sharp, tailored stance, grounded by deep front pleats that give the midweight textile some architectural rigidity. The high-contrast "Night Fever" finish mimics the sheen of polished hide, while the short 10.5-inch hemline leans into a stark, 90s-inspired minimalism. It’s a piece designed to hold its own against oversized blazers or sheer hosiery, leaning into that BLANKNYC ethos of clothes worth stealing.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed primarily of polyurethane and polyester, this garment is a petroleum-based plastic textile with inherently low breathability. The synthetic composition poses a high risk for trapped heat and lacks the moisture-management properties required for healthy skin contact.
