Love these shorts!

First time I have ever written a review for a piece of clothing. Ever. These shorts are incredibly light and breathable, they have immediately become my favorite running shorts. I love the fit, the small pocket in the back for gels, and the tabs to store your shirt! I absolutely love these shorts and I’m getting another pair ASAP!

Best Shorts I’ve Ever Owned

I don’t usually write reviews for clothes but I felt like I had to for this! I absolutely love these shorts! It feels like a ‘second skin’ and shows off your quads and leg muscles so nicely. I’ve never liked my legs in most shorts but for some reason this type of shorts really makes me confident. Totally get these. You will not regret it. Plus it’s my fav color ;)
