I went out for a hike the other day in a pair of leggings [1], and immediately regretted my decision. Summer is here, and that means it's officially shorts weather. If you're not a fan of classic, loose running shorts [2], a bike short [3] may just be your perfect pick. They're tight like a legging, and in recent years they've come back in style, so you won't look like your fashionably challenged aunt while wearing them. These 14 options are great for sweaty activities like running [4] and HIIT workouts.
From classic black options to fun prints and vibrant colours, these are the shorts you'll want to fill your workout wardrobe with. Plus, some of them even have pockets, which is a serious win. Just keep reading to shop our picks!
