The Micro Short

These mid-thigh shorts rely on a high-tension jersey blend to create a smooth, second-skin silhouette. The wide, flat waistband sits flush against the core, emphasizing a clean line through the hip that nods to the minimalist geometry of 90s athletic wear.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: The garment is composed of a synthetic blend of recycled polyester and spandex, both of which are petroleum-derived plastics. These materials lack natural breathability and carry a high risk of microplastic shedding and potential chemical transfer during high-heat or high-sweat activities.
