My New Favorite

These shorts fit perfect! They don’t ride up on my inner thighs when jogging or walking, like a lot of my other shorts. I hope LuLu makes more!

Light, Comfy, and Perfect for Everyday Wear

Really like these Lightweight Mid-Rise Active Shorts from Lululemon. They’re super light, breathable, and comfortable for workouts or casual wear. The fit is flattering and doesn’t feel restrictive at all. Great everyday active shorts

Great shorts for casual wear.

I bought these shorts in the bay leaf/lemongrass color. I like them for just wearing around the house, bike-riding, casual hiking, running errands, etc. They are my go-to shorts!

Light and comfortable

Perhaps the most comfortable shorts I’ve bought to date. I’m super fussy about shorts. Super light, comfortable in the waist and leg and the right length. I bought sage and black in Large normally a 10-12 (the large is just more comfortable) and have worn them and worn them. They are good for anything and easy to pack for travel and hot weather.
