Product Insights
The JW Anderson Pointelle Knit Fitted Short, from the raw sun-faded Summer Series, offers a runway-proven pointelle knit with handwork undone ease. The fine-gauge technical stretch viscose knit, reinforced with polyamide and polyester, holds shape and recovers stretch while the open pointelle creates a sheer, lace-inspired feel that breathes but requires nude undergarments and delicate care to avoid snagging. Priced at 149.95 CAD (about twice a basic DKNY pointelle short), it features a 12-inch inseam, a signature bow, and a close fit that may relax slightly due to viscose; sizing up offers a looser fit.
