Product Insights
Miiyu's Soft Scuba-Style Lounge Short, at $49, uses a dense double-knit scuba jersey (47% polyester, 43% rayon, 10% spandex) with a peachskin finish that balances softness and structure, delivering wrinkle resistance, shape retention, and fade-resistant color while locking in body heat and resisting moisture, making it suitable for cool, damp conditions and travel; however, the fabric's minimal stretch requires sizing up if between sizes and relying on the drawstring for a relaxed fit, and gentle care is needed to preserve the finish, and matching pieces are sold separately.
Verified claims
- Fabric
- 47% polyester, 43% rayon, 10% spandex scuba jersey with peachskin finish balances softness and structure, unlike modal or french terry.
- Wrinkle resistance
- The peachskin finish's raised nap minimizes wrinkles by dispersing pressure.
- Color fastness
- Brushed nap increases dye uptake for fade-resistant color.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on gentle and tumble dry low to preserve the finish and prevent pilling.
- Shape retention
- The scuba-like jersey resists wrinkles and holds its shape while providing a soft peachskin feel.
- Warmth
- The dense double-knit fabric locks in body heat and resists light moisture, making it suitable for cool or damp conditions.
- Color & pilling
- The brushed finish enhances dye absorption for fade-resistant color, and with gentle care the fabric resists pilling.
- Handfeel
- Bouncy and velvety handfeel, substantial and non-cling.
- Moisture management
- Fabric resists moisture and dries quickly, staying comfortable in humidity or light rain.
- Travel utility
- Wrinkle-resistant fabric packs well for cool-weather trips without ironing.
- Sizing
- The fabric has minimal stretch; size up if between sizes for a relaxed fit.
- Quick-dry
- Resists moisture and dries quickly.
- Color depth and fade resistance
- Peachskin finish creates deeper color bonds that resist fading.
- Drawstring
- Drawstring tightens fit; essential as scuba-knit has minimal stretch.
- Matching set
- A matching jacket and top are sold separately in the same scuba fabric and color.
- Competitive pricing
- At $49, Miiyu is priced between Gap ($40) and Joe Fresh ($19) but uses a denser, peachskin-finished scuba fabric.
- Coordinated sets
- Miiyu sells a matching quarter-zip top and jacket separately, a coordinated set not offered by Gap or Joe Fresh.

Deep Research
Peachskin finish: the soft touch technology
- The brushed nap diffuses pressure points across the fabric surface rather than concentrating them into sharp creases, so the shorts emerge from lounging or a weekend bag with fewer wrinkles than a smooth-surfaced polyester short would.
- The abrasion process opens up the fiber surface, creating more microscopic entry points for dyes to penetrate and bond — which yields richer, more fade-resistant color that holds up better through multiple wash cycles than a standard non-brushed polyester jersey.
- Applying a peachskin finish to the bouncy double-knit scuba jersey preserves the fabric's inherent shape-holding resilience while adding a velvety surface — the result is a short that maintains its silhouette and doesn't cling, yet feels soft on the skin, unlike an unstructured fleece that can lose its shape.
Miiyu by Simons: the brand behind the short
- Miiyu loungewear bottoms fall between $39 and $49 CAD (the Soft Scuba Short is $49), placing the brand in an accessible mid-tier bracket that makes its material-forward designs relatively affordable to try.
- The brand's fabric strategy revolves around next-to-skin softness: across the line you'll find modal jersey with a brushed underside, scuba-style jersey with a peachskin finish, and stretch recycled polyester-viscose blends, all chosen to create a supple, forgiving handfeel that defines the Miiyu touch.
- Rather than standalone pieces, Miiyu typically designs loungewear in coordinated capsules — each bottom has matching tees, camis, sweatshirts, or robes available separately, allowing customers to build a cohesive set within the brand without mixing lines.
What scuba fabric feels like and how it behaves
- Scuba knits are inherently wrinkle-resistant, so these shorts stay crisp and presentable through travel, lounging, or even balled up in a drawer — no steaming required.
- Thanks to its dense double-knit, scuba-like jersey provides a layer of insulation that cotton or modal lounge shorts can’t match — these are comfortable for cool mornings and air-conditioned spaces, not for summer heat.
- Because the fabric is a compact double-knit, these lounge shorts hold their shape rather than bagging out at the knees or seat — a hallmark that separates them from slouchier cotton jersey sleepwear and keeps the silhouette neat even after hours on the couch.
- The polyester-spandex blend inherently repels light moisture and dries quickly, so these shorts won’t stay damp after a spill or light rain — a practical edge that expands their use beyond pure sleepwear.
How these shorts compare to other lounge options
- Gap’s SoftMade Modal PJ Short (list $40) uses an 89% modal/11% elastane blend for buttery softness, positioning it as the ultra-soft option, while Miiyu’s $49 scuba short instead delivers a supple, bouncy jersey with peachskin finish—better for those wanting more body and less cling in their lounge short.
- At $19, Joe Fresh’s French Terry Lounge Short uses a 58% cotton/39% viscose/3% spandex blend, making it a lightweight, ultrasoft option, but it lacks the scuba fabric’s structure and peachskin finish—the $30 price gap between it and Miiyu’s short largely reflects the difference in fabric weight and hand.

Q&A
4 answered- How does the sizing run for this lounge short? Is it true to size or should I size up/down?
- These shorts are true to size based on the typical fit of lounge shorts. However, if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a more relaxed feel, as the scuba-like jersey has minimal stretch.
- What are the care instructions for the scuba-like jersey fabric? Can it be machine washed and dried?
- We recommend machine washing cold on a gentle cycle and tumble drying low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener to maintain the peachskin finish.
- Is the drawstring functional for tightening, or is it purely decorative?
- Yes, the drawstring is fully functional for tightening. The product description notes an adjustable drawstring as a feature.
- Does the peachskin finish pill or fade after washing?
- With proper care—washing inside out on a gentle cycle and avoiding high heat drying—the peachskin finish should resist pilling. However, like all brushed fabrics, some surface changes may occur over time with frequent wear.
