These shorts utilize a sophisticated triple-layer silk construction to ensure breathability and a cooling effect against the skin, providing medium support that contours to your body for a flattering fit.

FAQs
Can I put these shorts in the dryer?
No. Silk is a natural fiber and high heat will cause the shorts to shrink and potentially damage the elastic structure of the knit.
Are these shorts opaque?
Yes, the triple-layer construction is designed to provide sufficient opacity for athletic and casual use.
How does size 14 fit compared to other brands?
The fit is designed to be contouring but true-to-size. We recommend referring to the size chart to ensure the waist and hip measurements align with your body.
Are these suitable for long-distance cycling?
While they are named cycling shorts and offer great comfort, they do not feature the padded chamois found in professional cycling bibs, so they are better suited for casual cycling or gym activities.
Can I use these for swimming?
No. These are not designed as swimwear, and prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water will severely damage the silk material.
Troubleshooting
Fabric snagging or pilling
Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces or sharp jewelry. If pilling occurs, use a dedicated silk fabric shaver with extreme caution.
Loss of elasticity after washing
Ensure you are using cold water and avoid fabric softeners or harsh detergents, which can break down the elastic fibers within the knit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your silk knit shorts, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. While the exterior is durable, the integrity of the silk relies on proper maintenance. We recommend hand-washing in cool water using a pH-neutral silk-friendly detergent. Avoid wringing the shorts out, as this can stress the fibers; instead, lay them flat on a clean towel to absorb excess moisture before air drying away from direct sunlight. For compatibility, these shorts in size 14 are best suited for individuals seeking a form-fitting look that prioritizes comfort over ultra-tight compression. Store them folded rather than hung on thin hangers to prevent the knit from stretching over time.
