High Waisted Short

These BLANKNYC shorts lean into a relaxed, mid-thigh silhouette defined by a high-contrast zebra print that anchors the midweight linen-rayon blend. The construction combines a utilitarian zip fly with an adjustable drawstring waist, creating a hybrid between traditional tailored shorts and lounge-wear ease. It is a sharp, low-friction piece that thrives when styled against structured textures like a crisp poplin shirt or a heavy ribbed tank.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The inclusion of standard rayon, a chemically processed semi-synthetic, necessitates an intensive manufacturing process often involving carbon disulfide, which carries significant environmental and occupational toxicity risks. While the 30% linen content adds breathability, the reliance on conventional rayon limits the overall biocompatibility of the garment.
