Designed for adult women seeking comfortable and versatile activewear, the Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts offer a flattering high-waist fit and lightweight design for everyday activities or light exercise. While providing excellent comfort for casual wear, their cotton-rich composition might be less ideal for intense, sweat-heavy workouts requiring advanced moisture-wicking.
High Waisted Style: Offers a modern, flattering fit that sits securely at or above the natural waistline.
Elasticated Waistband: Ensures a comfortable, snug fit without digging in, adapting to your body's movements.
Flat Lock Seams: Expertly stitched seams lie flat against the skin, significantly reducing friction and preventing chafing during activity.
Lightweight Construction: Provides a barely-there feel, making these shorts comfortable for extended wear and various activities.
Cotton-Rich Fabric (95% Cotton, 5% Elastane): Combines the natural softness and breathability of cotton with the stretch and shape retention of elastane for optimal comfort.
Miso Branding: Features subtle Miso branding, indicating the garment's origin and style.
Exceptional Comfort: The high-waist design and elasticated band offer a secure, comfortable fit for all-day wear.
Reduced Chafing: Flat lock seams are a key benefit for minimizing skin irritation during movement or light exercise.
Breathable Material: High cotton content makes them comfortable and breathable for casual use or moderate temperatures.
Versatile Use: Ideal for light workouts, yoga, lounging at home, or as a comfortable base layer under dresses or skirts.
Easy Care: Machine washable fabric simplifies maintenance.
Limited Moisture-Wicking: The cotton-rich blend is less effective at wicking away sweat compared to synthetic performance fabrics, making it less suitable for intense, high-sweat activities.
Moderate Support: While offering some stretch, they may not provide the firm compression or support desired for very high-impact sports.
Drying Time: Cotton tends to dry slower than synthetic materials, which might be a consideration after washing or intense sweating.

These Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are designed for maximum comfort and versatility in your daily routine and light active pursuits. Their construction prioritizes a soft feel and ease of movement over high-performance athletic specifications.
Ideal Scenarios:
Casual Wear: Perfect for lounging at home, running errands, or enjoying a relaxed day out. The lightweight fabric and comfortable fit make them an excellent choice for everyday comfort.
Light Exercise: Suitable for activities like yoga, Pilates, stretching, walking, or gentle cycling on a stationary bike or at a relaxed pace. The flat lock seams help prevent irritation during these low-impact movements.
Layering: Their slim fit and high waist make them an excellent base layer under dresses, skirts, or tunics, providing extra coverage and comfort.
Travel: The comfortable, breathable fabric and easy-care nature make them a great option for travel or long journeys where comfort is key.
Considerations for Use: While they bear the name 'cycling shorts,' it's important to note their primary material of 95% cotton. For intense, long-distance, or high-sweat cycling and other strenuous workouts, specialized synthetic cycling shorts with advanced moisture-wicking and compression properties are typically recommended. The Miso shorts excel in providing comfort for less demanding activities where breathability and softness are valued.
Using your Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts is as simple as putting them on. Ensure the high waist sits comfortably and securely around your natural waistline. The elasticated waistband is designed to provide a snug yet non-restrictive fit.
These shorts are designed for adult females and are available in various UK women's dress sizes (e.g., Size 10). They are versatile enough to complement a wide range of casual and activewear tops, from simple t-shirts to athletic tank tops or oversized hoodies. Their classic blue color integrates easily into most wardrobes.
Proper care is essential to maintain the fabric quality, color, and fit of your shorts. Always refer to the care label inside the garment for specific instructions.
Washing: Machine washable. For best results and to preserve the cotton-elastane blend, wash in cold water with similar colors.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
Bleaching: Do not use bleach, as this can damage the fabric fibers and fade the color.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang to air dry. Air drying helps maintain the garment's shape and prolong its lifespan.
Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low heat setting. Avoid ironing directly on any Miso branding.
Safety: Keep away from fire. This is a standard safety precaution for most clothing items.
