retrofete Sandra Knit Short

Product Insights & Style Tips

The retrofete Sandra Knit Short is everything you want in a modern throwback—bold, a little glitzy, and completely fun. Cut from a lightweight ponte knit, the blue base is woven through with metallic threads that catch the light just right, giving every movement a subtle shimmer. The fit is soft and supple, thanks to the blend of rayon and nylon with just enough spandex for that easy stretch, while the faux front pockets nod to classic tailoring without bulking up the shape. These shorts channel retrofete’s signature sense of glam—think the cool, after-hours spirit of nightlife icons and the polished ease of ‘70s disco dressing, distilled into an everyday piece.

Slip-on construction and that gently hugging fit means the Sandra Knit Short contours smoothly, moving with the body rather than against it. The 12-inch length and flexible ponte feel offer coverage without sacrificing the silhouette, making these just as viable for city days as they are for impromptu nights out. There’s a streamlined effect from the faux pockets, so layering with oversized shirts or an embellished jacket lands effortlessly. Wear them with a crisp tank for daytime errands, then swap in a sculptural heel and clutch for late-night plans—the metallic finish ensures these shorts always bring a hint of celebration, on or off the clock.

Retrofete is built on unapologetic sparkle, and the Sandra Knit Short is a statement away from their famed sequin dresses. Mindful nods to glam nostalgia meet city-girl ease, answering the call for knitwear that isn’t afraid to own the spotlight. Style with tonal knits or lean into contrast with slouchy tees—either way, you’re not blending in.
