The Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are crafted for women who value both comfort and style in their active and casual wear. Perfect for light workouts, cycling, or creating a relaxed athleisure look, these shorts provide a flattering fit and comfortable support for everyday movement, though for very high-intensity or moisture-wicking needs, specialized synthetic gear might be more suitable.
High Waist Design: Offers excellent core support and a flattering silhouette, enhancing comfort during various activities.
Elasticated Waistband: Ensures a secure, snug fit that stays in place without digging in, allowing for unrestricted movement.
Flat Lock Seams: Engineered to minimize chafing and skin irritation, providing superior comfort even during extended wear.
Cotton Blend Material (95% Cotton, 5% Elastane): Combines the natural softness and breathability of cotton with the stretch and flexibility of elastane for comfort and freedom of movement.
Versatile Use: Designed for seamless transition between workouts, casual cycling, and everyday athleisure styling.
Comfortable Fabric: The high cotton content makes them soft against the skin and breathable.
Flattering Fit: High waist design provides good coverage and a supportive, body-shaping effect.
Reduced Chafing: Flat lock seams enhance comfort, particularly during movement or extended wear.
Versatile Styling: Easily pairs with various tops for gym, cycling, or casual outfits.
Good Stretch: Elastane ensures flexibility and allows for a full range of motion.
Limited Moisture-Wicking: Cotton blend may absorb sweat rather than wick it away, potentially becoming heavy during intense, sweaty workouts.
Drying Time: Cotton can take longer to dry compared to synthetic performance fabrics.
Not for Extreme Sports: While suitable for casual cycling, they may not offer the specific padding or compression required for competitive or long-distance cycling.
Wrinkle Prone: As a cotton-rich garment, it may be more susceptible to wrinkling.

The Miso High Waisted Cycling Shorts are designed for everyday active living. Their primary strength lies in their comfort and versatility. For a gym session involving light cardio, strength training, or yoga, the high waist offers excellent support and the flat lock seams prevent irritation. When cycling casually, perhaps for a commute or a leisurely ride, the elasticated waistband keeps them secure, and the cotton-elastane blend allows for comfortable pedaling. They are not intended for competitive cycling where specialized padding and advanced moisture-wicking might be critical.
Beyond exercise, these shorts excel as athleisure wear. Pair them with an oversized hoodie or a cropped top for a relaxed, stylish look. The blue colour offers a refreshing alternative to standard black, making them a great addition to your casual wardrobe. The material composition provides a soft feel against the skin, making them ideal for all-day wear.
As a garment, no specific setup is required. Simply put them on and adjust the high waist and elasticated waistband for your preferred comfortable fit.
These cycling shorts are compatible with a wide range of activities including:
Light to moderate workouts (e.g., gym, yoga, Pilates, walking)
Casual cycling and commuting
Lounging and everyday athleisure wear
They pair well with various athletic tops, t-shirts, hoodies, and sneakers. Consider your activity level to ensure they meet your performance needs.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your shorts:
Machine Washable: Always follow the specific care instructions on the garment's label.
Temperature: Typically, wash on a cool or warm cycle with similar colours to prevent fading and shrinking.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, which can damage the fabric.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, line dry to preserve the elastane and prevent excessive shrinking. Excessive heat can degrade elastic fibers.
Ironing: If needed, iron on a low setting inside out. Avoid ironing directly over any printed logos or designs.
Safety Note: Keep away from fire. This is a standard clothing safety instruction for all garments.
