Core Shorts

These navy shorts are cut from a dense, matte jersey that favors compression over sheer athletic performance. The high-rise waistband sits flush against the torso, creating a clean, uninterrupted line that hits just above mid-thigh. It is the kind of utilitarian base layer that functions best when paired with oversized, boxy silhouettes to contrast the lean fit.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The composition is a petroleum-based blend of 75% polyester and 25% spandex, which offers high elasticity but poor breathability and potential for microplastic shedding. Synthetic fibers of this nature can trap heat against the skin and often require chemical additives during the manufacturing process to achieve their specific stretch and moisture-wicking properties.
