MAKEMECHIC Leather Micro Mini Shorts

Left in a drawer beside a band tee or folded into the corner of a suitcase, these micro shorts sit ready for a sharp evening or a loud weekend. The faux leather takes a neat crease where the fabric meets the zipper. They stay fitted on the hanger, compact and deliberate, their black catching light in quick lines rather than spread-out colour.

They ask a small daily trade-off. Movement is narrower here than in a looser short, so you give up some ease for a cleaner line and a closer fit. That means planning your day around traffic, stairs or long walks if you want to keep the silhouette as intended.

One of 213 on the skirts, shorts and pants rail in MAKEMECHIC pieces. It also answers to shorts. A size letter describes the garment rather than a body, and the way we keep the figures current is set out on how we update the catalogue.
