Best Women's Workout Shorts From Old Navy

14 Old Navy Workout Shorts So You Can Feel the Breeze on Your Legs This Summer

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Even though leggings get workout love year-round, it's tempting to seek out a little less fabric when temperatures rise. And, while there are plenty of moisture-wicking tops and bottoms of all lengths, it's also hard to beat shorts in the heat.

Since summer's in full swing, and our fitness plans have us both indoors and out, we found the best athletic shorts in stock at Old Navy from slim-fitting ones for bikes to roomer cargo picks for hikes. A key difference in these styles is the length, so we've rounded up the 14 best pairs from shortest to longest ahead to make shopping for your favourite fit even easier.
