Love these!

Perfect if you have a short torso, they sit right on my hips. Don’t move when running and are a fun retro-look. Love that they have a wide leg, super flattering but great for my larger thighs!

Cozy, easy, breezy

The perfect short to get that does exactly what you need it to. They’re so cute, flowy, and feel so comfortable to wear both working out or lounging. Arguably the most comfortable Lulu shorts I’ve had. Love these!

Go-to short

I bought these for upper body strength days and walking and absolutely love them. I sweat a lot and these are perfect for warm weather but are also my go-to for any errands or around the house!

My second pairs of runs shorts

These were actually my first pair, but I ordered the wrong size. Since I’d never worn running shorts before, figured XL would give me that loose fit, but were too big. Once the L came back in stock, I grabbed them and they fit just right (I don’t like them too tight). In the meantime, I picked up the Hotty Hot Shorts with lace trim in blk (size 10). For reference, I’m a medium but like a looser fit for runs. Honestly, both the Dolphin Shorts and the 4” Hotty Hots make my summer runs enjoyable.
