Millennia High Waist Active Shorts — Fit, Fabric & Care

How to measure

Use a flexible measuring tape and measure in your usual underwear or a close layer. Stand relaxed and breathe normally. For most accurate results, measure both your body and a comparable garment laid flat.

• Body — High waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso where you want the waistband to sit (this short is high-rise).
• Body — Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat with feet together.
• Body — Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh, about 1–2" (2.5–5 cm) below the crotch.
• Garment — Waist (laid flat): Lay the shorts flat, smooth but do not stretch, measure across the waistband and double that number for the circumference.
• Garment — Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam straight down to the hem.
• Garment — Front rise: Measure from the center front of the waistband down to the crotch seam.
• Garment — Leg opening: Measure the hem width across and double it for the circumference.

Quick tip: For stretch fabrics, compare your body measurements to the relaxed garment measurements. If you are between sizes, size up for a more relaxed fit or size down for a firmer, performance feel.

Materials & performance

Typical composition and performance features for the Millennia High Waist Active Shorts:

• Main fabric: 78% Nylon (Polyamide) / 22% Elastane (Spandex/Lycra) — durable, four-way stretch and excellent recovery.
• Lining (if applicable): 100% Polyester mesh — lightweight, breathable and quick-drying.
• Performance finishes: Moisture-wicking, quick-dry, anti-odor finish and a soft hand for comfort during movement.

Why it matters: Nylon gives strength and abrasion resistance for frequent wear; elastane provides stretch and shape retention; polyester linings aid breathability and fast drying. Check the sewn care label for the exact composition of your pair.

Model & fit information

Model shown in product photos is 5'9" (175 cm) and wears a size S for reference. Model measurements: Bust 33" / Waist 24" / Hips 35".

Fit notes: These shorts are designed as a high-rise, body-skimming active short with supportive stretch. They are intended to sit at the natural/high waist and provide a close, supportive fit for training and everyday wear.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect the outer face.
• Wash with like colours. Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach.
• Do not use fabric softener — it reduces moisture-wicking and damages elastane over time.
• Air dry flat or hang to dry; tumble dry on low only if necessary. Remove promptly from the washer to reduce odor.
• Avoid ironing over elastic trims; if ironing is needed, use low heat on the reverse side.
• Rinse out chlorine or salt after swimming and avoid rough surfaces or Velcro that can snag the fabric.
• Store folded rather than hung on narrow hooks to protect the waistband elasticity.

Style tips

• Workout: Pair with a matching high-support sports bra and lightweight trainers for studio or gym sessions.
• Athleisure: Combine with an oversized tee or cropped hoodie and chunky sneakers for a casual, street-ready look.
• Layering: Add a denim jacket or a lightweight windbreaker for cooler mornings and seamless transition from workout to errands.
• Summer-ready: Wear with a fitted tank or ribbed crop and slide sandals for a minimalist warm-weather outfit.
• Elevated casual: Throw on a longline shirt or utility shacket and low-profile trainers; add a crossbody bag to complete the look.
• Color & accessories: Keep palettes cohesive—neutral shorts with a pop-colour top or match tonal sets for a polished aesthetic. Add a cap, sunglasses or a sleek belt bag for finishing touches.
