Great pattern, runs small
I'm a Turbo Run Short junkie and got these because of the color pattern. I got a 10 which I get in Turbos and expected them to also be a bit loose on me. They are more snug than I'd prefer. Next time, I'd size up to a 12. I'm 5'9, athletic build, muscular legs, 148lbs.

love hate relationship
I saw these shorts online and fell in love. They looked so comfortable and very close to the Turbo Run Shorts (which are sadly no longer available) I tried them on in store and loved how comfortable they were. I wear a size 8 because of my thicker, muscular thighs and they fit everywhere but the crotch. I couldn't even fit my legs through the size 6 either. I tried on the black pair and my bright blue undies were still see-through. I was fairly disappointed as I cannot find shorts for running anymore. Lulu! Please bring back the Turbo Run Shorts!

Love these!
I am 5'8", 138 lbs and usually wear a size 6 in Lululemon (a size 4/6 in other brands). My measurements are 34D, 28" waist and 36" hips.
I purchased these in a size 6 and they fit just slightly small/tight. The elastic digs a bit.
I can still wear them and they are really cute. They will definitely stay in place!
They are well made and the fabric is great - very light.

These Shorts Blew My Mind!
I bought these shorts a couple of weeks ago when I went shopping with my friends. I had never bought anything from Lululemon and I heard a lot of good things about these shorts.
These shorts are magical (not literally, but figuritvely [just checking])! I tried them on in the store, and it felt like I wasn't wearing anything (quite seriously). These shorts are the best investment I made to myself (and one of few!).
These shorts are lightweight, durable, comfortable, cute, and come in a lot of cool colours.

I am 6 ft. tall, and unfortunately even though these are advertised as being "so much longer" than traditional running shorts (all of which average an inseam of 2.5"-3", which is a joke) these are still pretty darn short. I understand I have longer legs than most, but I have yet to find a pair of shorts that I actually feel comfortable wearing out in public. I am by no means heavy, but also by no means do I have perfect legs. I bought these from the WMTM section so cannot return them. I will use them for lounging around the house and "motivation" shorts, but I'm sad I won't ever get to use them for their intended purpose of running.
They also give me a muffin top as they are low-rise, and were a bit snug around the thigh (I have muscular legs but nothing crazy). Again, I recognize that my complaints have to do with my build/body type and are not necessarily reflective on Lululemon, but it is frustrating trying to find workout clothes that fit certain body types that are often forgotten about. I had higher hopes for the fit and length of these shorts. I may have to give up on finding shorts all together and just stick with crops.

GREAT SHORTS!
I really do love these shorts! They are perfect for a run or for teaching my group fitness classes! They are adorable, yet functional. I am so pleased with the length. I like the way the speed shorts feel, but they are just too short for me to feel comfortable in. The Groovy short is perfection all around! I loved my first pair so much, I immediately bought a second pair! Please keep these and make more!

New White/Grey Strip Short Fabric & Fit
I went into my local Lulu store yesterday to find a new pair of running shorts, and decided to try on the new pattern (white with grey stripes) shorts. I'm normally a 6 in Lulu shorts, and sometimes wear a 4/6 in the luon stretch capris depending on the fit. I do have stronger/bigger thighs as a runner/crossfitter, but I was disappointed. While the black, 4-way stretch fabric shorts fit (almost large) in a 6, I couldn't even get the new white/grey stripe patterned short over my thighs. I know its partially because the fabric doesn't give at all, but I really think they might be cut smaller, so size up, ladies, and know the fabric won't stretch!

weird fit
these shorts have a weird fit. I am 5'1" about 124 lbs and generally a size 4. These shorts have a weird flap of fabric underneath running down the outside of the outer thighs which is uncomfortable and adds bulk and lines. It's just an odd fit, somewhere between a spandex compression short and a running short but not the best of either. Disappointing.

Awesome shorts!
I got these in the mail yesterday and immediately loved the colors (the coral ones). I wore them today for a 12 mile run! They were great! No chafing, rubbing or riding up! And I love the longer length! For reference, I am 5'4", approx. 135 pounds and an 8 fits perfect! I am going to have to order more!

officially a lulu snob
I've been crossfitting for about 6 months now and have not found a good pair of shorts that I don't have to keep adjusting.. Until now.. I was hesitant at first to order these because of the price tag. I wore them yesterday for lots of squats WOD and they were amazing! I will be ordering more. I'm 5'3, 130, with very athletic legs, and the size 6 fit perfect.
