Product Insights
These Ruffled Poplin Mini Shorts from Twik, part of the Emotions are ok collection in support of Tel-Jeunes and Jack.org, donate $5 per purchase and have raised over $168,000. Made from 50% organic cotton and 2% spandex, the fabric retains shape and breathes well for sensitive skin, while supporting soil health. The fit is true to size with a stretchy elastic waistband and extra room in the hips and thighs. The main tradeoff: the white colorway is somewhat sheer, requiring nude undergarments, and the shorts need cold wash and hang dry to preserve details. When styled with the matching poplin top, the set avoids a sleepwear look.
