Niki Suede Short

These espresso-hued shorts lean into the structural precision of a cheongsam, anchored by three sets of traditional frog knot closures across the high-rise waist. The faux suede offers a matte, architectural weight that holds its shape against the body, diverging from typical summer short silhouettes to favor a sharper, evening-ready aesthetic. It is a calculated update to heritage detailing, designed to sit flush with the waistline for a streamlined, tailored finish.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is constructed from a blend of polyurethane and nylon, both of which are petroleum-derived plastics that offer minimal breathability and potential for endocrine-disrupting chemical transfer. Being a high-synthetic composition, it lacks natural moisture-wicking properties and relies on a dry-clean-only process, which often involves harsh chemical solvents.
