Tie Shorts

These faux suede shorts lean into a tactile, matte finish that offers more visual weight than standard cotton jersey. The drawstring waist and curved hemline borrow from athletic silhouettes, but the desert sage hue and brushed texture ground them in a more deliberate, loungewear-adjacent aesthetic. They are built for a high-leg fit, best balanced with a structured loafer or an oversized knit to lean into the contrast.

Safety Rating: Lowest

Analysis: Composed of 96% polyester and 4% elastane, this garment is a petroleum-based plastic textile with inherently low breathability. The synthetic fibers pose a risk for microplastic shedding and may trap heat against the skin during wear.
