Knee-length Shorts

Nyssa wears these charcoal-gray knee-length shorts under her newly adopted striped skirt during the Scanner Room crisis. The shorts fall just above her knees, their practical wool fabric stiff from storage until breaking in against her skin as she moves. The cut resembles breeches but stops mid-thigh, offering modesty without the constriction of trousers. Tegan struggles to lace the waistband properly, the tangled strings bunching awkwardly where her rough handling pulled too tight.
