These are the classic American Apparel Disco Shorts in black, tagged size Small. They’re made from AA’s signature liquid-shine nylon stretch, 90% nylon and 10% elastane, with a high waist, a snap-button front, a faux fly, and a seamed jean-style back with patch pockets. They’re tight and figure-hugging with a short, cheeky leg. Made in the USA, from the original LA-era American Apparel.
The Disco Short was a defining piece of 2010s indie sleaze style. Now that original Made in USA American Apparel is gone, these are hard to find again. They’re great for concerts, nights out, dance classes, festivals, roller skating, or costumes like Sandy from Grease. They look great with a crop top, sheer tights, and boots.
The front rise is about 11 inches and the side length is about 10 inches, measured flat.
