Our Take

Comfort-first shorts that earn their place in your workout rotation.

You're getting a high-waisted short cut from quick-dry fabric (95% polyester, 5% spandex) that breathes without sticking to you.

Athletic shorts live or die on fit and function—this one leans into loose, flowy, and forgiving, with thoughtful details like pleated sides and contrast seams that actually show someone was thinking about the design.

On price

At $29.99, you're paying mid-range for athletic wear that doesn't skimp on details—built-ins, pleats, and smart fabric choice justify the price without breaking the bank.

The Criteria

What to weigh

Fit & Rise

High waisted, loose fit, smocked elastic waistband

The smocked waistband and pleated side detail give you shape and movement without compression. Built-in briefs mean no layering needed, and the high rise sits where it's supposed to stay put during runs or tennis.

Fabric & Feel

95% polyester, 5% spandex, quick-dry, lightweight and breathable

This blend is a workhorse for summer—it won't cling to sweat, dries fast after a wash, and breathes well enough for hot-weather workouts. The fabric weight keeps them from feeling thin or see-through.

Versatility

Sized S–XL (S=US 4–6 through XL=US 16–18); shorty-length

Built to move from gym to brunch to lounging without a wardrobe change. The shorty length works for most body types, and the range of sizes means you can dial in your actual size rather than size up.

Who it’s for

Best for anyone who values breathing room and coverage over compression—runners, tennis players, gym-goers, or just someone looking for shorts that do double duty as activewear and casual summer staple.
