High Waist Short

These snow-white shorts are cut with a sharp, high-rise precision that mimics the architecture of traditional denim, but in a high-shine faux leather. The rigid, structured finish holds a clean line through the hip, while the velcro fly replaces standard hardware for a streamlined, utilitarian finish. It is a nod to 1980s aerobics-era minimalism, best anchored by a second-skin bodysuit or an oversized, unbuttoned poplin shirt.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The primary material is polyurethane, a petroleum-based synthetic polymer that lacks breathability and creates a barrier against the skin. The inclusion of polyester and spandex in the backing further classifies this as a multi-layered plastic textile with high potential for heat entrapment and microplastic shedding.
