Another great pair of running shorts

Great shorts. Love that the build in undies are true to size but don’t have that elastic band that always digs strangely. Wore these for my 10 mile run and my 25 k run this week and already purchased them in another colour.

New Favorite Shorts!

These shorts are IT! They have just become my favorite shorts! The leg is wide enough to run in or play tennis in for an athletic build. The material is great. The liner is comfortable and they look super cute on to boot!

New fave shorts!

These are the most flattering and comfortable shorts I have ever owned!! The material is very high quality and the liner fits so comfortably, doesn't cut in and doesn't ride up! I purchased the Star Burst Tone and Black and plan to purchase the Ivy Grove! Hoping to see more colors soon! Absolutely a staple to my wardrobe now!! If I could wear them daily, I would! 😂 Also, wanted to mention a huge plus is that I can throw them in the dryer per the care instructions and this saved me already once when I didn't have time to hang dry!

Comfortable, flattering, and low-maintenance? That's a pretty unbeatable trio.

New favorite running shorts

These shorts are perfect for my marathon training in Florida heat and humidity. They truly feel like they are barely there; so light and airy. Other reviewers say they run small but for me they fit very true to size, not small at all. For reference I am 5’7” 125 lbs and normally wear size small. I got my usual size and they are perfect. I only wish there were more color options!! Would love to buy a few more pairs.

Love these!!

Definitely think they’re worth the price! They are so lightweight and didn’t rub anywhere when running like some other shorts do for me. Love the pocket for keys, drawstrings so they don’t fall down, and liner! Highly recommend for running, especially in the hot summer months!
