Like any athletic clothing brand, Athleta offers a wide range of good-looking, practical shorts that will suit your needs, whether you are a training athlete or a college student who just wants something comfy to wear while studying for exams. We love that there are so many lengths to choose from and so many patterns. Fabrics are often made from recycled materials and feature an impeccable capability to dry quickly. Below are our top picks for Athleta shorts.
When any type of yoga clothing has pockets, we kind of feel like that is a win! Being able to tuck your phone away after a sweat session is a huge convenience. The 7-inch length short is an ideal combination for those who can’t decide if they want to wear shorts or pants. Plenty of coverage allows for lots of possibilities for challenging poses.
A variety of color options makes these optimal when looking for something you can pair with a cute top. The split hemline hits just above the mid-thigh, which gives you extra room for mobility when hitting the trails so you don’t feel restricted — and you’ll also show off those gorgeous gams.
Stay safer on your run with these textured shorts with a slightly fitted look, which becomes a little more relaxed toward the hem. The fabric is slightly reflective, providing more visibility for those who might want to get out and about at night. The fabric is delightfully soft and lightweight, ideal for most workouts.
The light pastel color these shorts come in is lovely — almost as lovely as the feather weight technology used to create the heavenly light fabric. A split on each side provides built-in movement for joggers or moms on the run. Overall, the fit is ever so slightly more relaxed than many average running shorts out there.
With a clean and sleek design, you could toss these on with a business casual shirt, some elegant sandals, and a pair of earrings and look seriously sharp for work. A flexible waistband will keep you comfortable all day, and two back pockets are great for storing anything from lip balm to candy! Grown-ups can have candy, too. Choose from a light, fun green to a neutral black.
Linen shorts are the perfect summer go-to because they aren’t too heavy but are perfectly soft. Throw them on over your swimsuit, or travel in ultimate comfort to a “fun in the sun” destination. They are so smooth against the skin and light — a wonderful combination! Beach outfits are instantly pulled together whenever these versatile shorts are incorporated into the look.
