The weight of your presence.

The Trace Line isn't interested in a "one-size-fits-all" narrative. These shorts are a foundation—a high-gloss, second-skin layer that you control through the tension of the side laces. We chose a vinyl that mimics the depth of obsidian but keeps the flexibility you need for a long night. Whether you’re layering them with a heavy coat for an editorial look or letting the silver-tone front zip be the main event, these shorts are designed to trace the literal lines of your body with absolute intent.

On the Body

Tactile Texture: The premium vinyl is smooth and cool to the touch, warming up as it sits against your skin for a more personalized fit.
Functional Tension: The hand-threaded cords aren't decorative; they allow you to sculpt the shorts to your specific hip and thigh measurements.
The Hardware: An industrial-grade front zipper provides a sharp visual contrast and reliable, everyday function.
Stretching the Limit: While the look is structured, the fabric is engineered with a subtle stretch that accommodates a wide range of motion.

Styling the "moood"

The Urban Presence: Pair with an oversized leather jacket and heavy boots for a grounded, high-fashion look.
The Studio Look: Wear as a standalone piece under sharp studio lighting to maximize the liquid-like reflections of the gloss.
The Layered Intent: Use the side lacing to create "windows" over mesh or sheer base layers to add depth and complexity to your silhouette.

Finding Your Fit

The Trace Line is designed with a high-tension vinyl that offers approximately 8 cm of stretch. To ensure the shorts hold their architectural shape while moving with you, we recommend measuring directly against your skin:

Size S: Best for a 78–84 cm waist and 86–92 cm hips. Total garment length is 22 cm.
Size M: Best for an 82–88 cm waist and 90–96 cm hips. Total garment length is 23 cm.
Size L: Best for an 86–92 cm waist and 94–100 cm hips. Total garment length is 23 cm.
Size XL: Best for a 90–96 cm waist and 98–104 cm hips. Total garment length is 24 cm.
Size 2XL: Best for a 94–100 cm waist and 102–108 cm hips. Total garment length is 24 cm.
Size 3XL: Best for a 98–104 cm waist and 106–112 cm hips. Total garment length is 25 cm.
Size 4XL: Best for a 102–108 cm waist and 110–116 cm hips. Total garment length is 25 cm.
Size 5XL: Best for a 106–112 cm waist and 114–120 cm hips. Total garment length is 26 cm.

Please allow for a 1–2 cm margin due to manual measurement. Use the side lacing to fine-tune the tension once the garment is on your body.
