Workout tights: they’re the ultimate staple in every fit girl’s active wardrobe. And let’s be honest, we’re all guilty of wearing them outside the gym from time to time, too. And by that, we mean we practically live in them! But as much as we love our trusty exercise tights, sometimes it’s just too damn hot for lycra — no matter how sweatwicking it may be. Plus, you don’t spend all that time doing lunges not to show off your hard-earned pins!
As weird as it sounds, sometimes you’ve just got to let your legs free! That’s where an often forgotten but equally dependable option comes in — workout shorts. “But there just aren’t any stylish ones around!” you may protest. Or, “But wearing shorts means I’ll flash the entire gym when I’m doing leg raises.” Wrong and wrong! Not only are these workout shorts stylish and flattering, they’re breathable enough to keep you cool but slim-fitting enough to protect your modesty.
From fun floral and pretty pastel to monochrome minimalist, there’s a pair of shorts to suit every style. Scroll through the gallery for our top 9 picks.
