I have never had a pair of workout shorts. I love these. I bought them in black also. They are so comfortable. They are very stretchy but fit to your body just right. These are my go to when the sun is out and it is hot. The pockets on the side can hold my phone, keys, etc. They are deep and keep your stuff safely tucked away. I am not a runner but I do walk and nothing is coming out. You can reach for your stuff in your pockets without fighting to get anything out. Great workout shorts!!! I already recommended these to other people because they are so nice. They wash up nice. I just can't say enough about how nice these are.I wear my shorts mostly for my long walks. Love the two pockets for cellphone etc. I am 5' short and about 123 pounds and I orderd the XL size. I bought this size because I do not like tight shorts. I find them very comfortable because they are not too tignt but also not too loose !Love these shorts. Wear them under dresses. The pockets are deep enough to hold my phone in one and hold my keys in the other. They don't ride up my legs or roll down my stomach. They prevented chafing when walking a TON in Key west and helped so much when riding bikes and scooters. Absolutely recommend.I needed something to go under a dress to smooth and hold everything in tight. Somebody said Hey, try a pair of bike shorts instead of spanx. So I did! Much more comfortable, the shorts never rode up on my legs. I ordered the medium and kind of wish they were a tad bit bigger fit, but they did the job. Next pair I will probably order a large. Im 5’9 and 147 lbs.These are durable, firm material that keeps all those jiggles in firm place! I use them for walking and biking. LOVE the side pockets too! I will bike and store my phone in that pocket without worry of the phone coming out.There ok shorts I got them to go under a costume so I could have my phone ect on me while I work, however they are pretty tight and I had to get a different pair to actually workout inThese are exactly what I was looking for. They fit really nice and pass the squat test. They are not workout legging material though, so be mindful of that, but they are very soft. They are not flattering also, if you are not straight sized be mindful of that as well. I'm wearing them under my homecoming dress so that I don't have to bring a purse and the pockets are amazing. They even have the hidden pocket in the back for smaller items.For size reference I am 5ft at 165lbs. I bought a large and it fits perfectly. There’s not much compression, it’s very stretchy. They’re not the workout material, they have a buttery feel which is very nice. It’s thick enough to no be see through but I’d recommend seamless undies. I bought these to wear underneath dresses or skirts that have no pockets.Really enjoyed them. The texture and the design is nice. Perfect summer bike shorts. The waist is high enough that I feel comfortable in them and can bike around with ease. The reason for 4star instead of 5 is because it is too comfy, if that makes sense. They don't do too much in compressing but they do hold their shape well. Also just a tad too long for me. I'm 5'4" and it went over my knee about half an inch and I would've liked to see it sit just a bit above the knee, but that's not a problem at all. Overall really nice and would seek to buy again.Fit a little snug, But I expected that because sizing charts aren’t always accurate. They’re also a buttery soft fabric. May be a little short in the legs for me since my thighs are large. They roll up a little. All in all I am really pleased with them though, since they have deep pockets for my phone and I use them for bike riding.LOVE THESE! I got the black/splinter shorts, they are not see through at all (nice!) and they are so comfy, the deep pockets are amazing (I keep my phone and inhaler in them at all times). I wanted a longer pair of shorts because I find short shorts always ride up and expose more than I am comfortable with. These are the perfect length for me and dont ride up at all. I am very happy I bought these, will be ordering more. Decent price too. Highly recommend!I work from home now so I don't wear real pants anymore. These are great! they're stretchy, comfortable and I can wear them out and look like I'm trying to be healthy instead of wearing pj pants and being judged for it.They also hold 2 good sized chocolate bars in the pocket. Or your phone whatever you're bringing to the bathroom with you no judgement.These shorts are nice and soft. The waist is high so they don't fall down while working out. The material is very nice quality and the fit is perfect. There are pockets in each side and one at the back on the waist band. I don't use them as I don't workout with my phone but if you do there is a spot for even 2 phones lol I will be buying more of these shorts
