Quick answer
For a secure and flattering fit, choose your size based on your waist and hip measurements, then pick a zip hardware colour that matches your other accessories.
Why fit matters for zipped shorts
Latex zipped shorts are designed to hug your body, so getting the fit right is essential for both comfort and appearance. A pair that is too loose can slip or wrinkle, while one that is too tight may restrict movement or cause discomfort. Mid-weight latex offers a balance of structure and stretch, but it still requires accurate sizing.
Zip hardware colour: silver or gold?
The zipper is a prominent design feature, so the hardware colour can change the overall look. Silver zips give a cooler, more understated finish that blends well with black or white latex. Gold zips add warmth and a bolder contrast, especially on darker colours. Choose the one that complements your existing jewellery or other hardware on your outfit.
How to choose your size and style
- Measure your waist and hips: Use a soft measuring tape around the narrowest part of your waist and the widest part of your hips. Compare your measurements to the size chart provided by the brand. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
- Consider the rise: These shorts are low waist, so they sit below your natural waistline. If you prefer more coverage or have a longer torso, you may want to try a size up for a slightly higher rise, though the fit will be looser. Low-waist shorts work best for shorter torsos or when you want to show off your midriff.
- Pick your zip hardware colour: Silver zips offer a subtle, modern look. Gold zips create a warmer, more eye-catching contrast. Choose based on your personal style and the other metal accessories you plan to wear. If you frequently wear silver jewellery, silver zips will coordinate better. For a bold statement, go with gold.
