Frequently Asked Questions
Does the black stay intense after multiple washes?
While the color is designed to last, adherence to GOTS standards implies the use of ecological dyes without aggressive chemical fixatives, which may lead to a slight evolution of the shade towards a more natural patina over time. To maintain the intensity of this pigment and the exceptional softness of Tencel™, always prioritize washing at 30°C inside out, avoiding the use of fabric softener which alters the fiber. Finally, air drying is highly recommended to protect the vibrancy of the color against drum heat, thus ensuring the longevity and flexibility of your piece.
Why choose natural material black yoga/pilates shorts over synthetic?
Black polyester or nylon shorts are ubiquitous in the yoga market, but these plastic materials retain odors, heat up quickly during exercise, and release microplastics with each wash. Tencel™ offers the same technical performance (support, elasticity, durability) with the qualities of a natural fiber: true breathability, softness on the skin, and a radically reduced environmental impact.
Are the black shorts opaque even when moving?
The high-density Interlock knit (220+ GSM) ensures good opacity, even in deep flexion or inverted postures.
Are these shorts also suitable for Pilates, dance, or gentle fitness?
Absolutely. The mid-thigh cut, 4-way stretch, and absence of side seams make them perfectly suited for mat Pilates, barre, contemporary dance, or active stretching. And because they are black, they naturally fit into any studio dress code.
