Annaise Short

These chocolate brown shorts are cut with a high-rise, abbreviated leg that mimics the geometry of 1970s athletic wear but rendered in a structured, smooth leather. The construction is sharp and minimal, featuring a clean hook-and-bar closure that keeps the focus on the saturated, deep-toned hide. It is a bold departure from traditional tailoring, best grounded by an oversized blazer or a heavy knit to contrast the exposure of the leg.

Safety Rating: Good

Analysis: As 100% leather, this garment provides a natural, breathable protein fiber base that is highly biocompatible and avoids synthetic plastic coatings. However, because leather tanning often involves heavy metal salts like chromium, it is categorized as "Good" rather than "Excellent" due to the potential chemical burden of the professional tanning process.
