Great in green - please introduce burgundy

I bought these for the gym but I wear them for shopping as well as in the gym. They are a little longer than my other shorts but super flattering and comfortable and the length and fit feels good for every day wear. Please make them in burgundy.

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts are lightweight and comfortable. Suitable for running, hiking or daily wear. I like the slightly longer length 5.5”. I’m size 12 and medium fits perfectly.

I bought a pair of shorts last year and wore so much that needed another pair. They are fabulous, perfect length and so comfortable.

Lovely shorts

Really nice and comfy shorts. Wore them lots on holiday. I have removed one star as after one wash the elastic waistband seems to have twisted in several places and now doesn’t lie flat. Agree that some brighter colours would be nice.

Very dark navy - not for me

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

I have these in the light green which I really like. Lovely light fabric and flattering fit. But I found the navy too dark for everyday summer wear and sent back.

The best shorts for all the curvy women out there who struggle to find shorts that fit. 10/10! The stretch, the length, everything is perfect. Now to buy them in all the colours

Loose fit and nice length and material. Wish they still did them in pink or brighter colours as most of the colours are quite drab and boring.

Great to throw on every morning in this heatwave. Washes well, really good quality and the soft green is a nice colour. Looks nice with the zip up top for cooler moments too.

Supremely comfortable

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Absolutely love these shorts. I had been eyeing them up for ages and then managed to pick them up in the sale in the colour I wanted. They are supremely comfortable and have been great on hot days running around after my kids.

So comfy! They also dry really quickly. Coped well with a day's hiking in addition to a run and gym session.

I bought these shorts for when the weather is hot. They are very comfortable, cool in hot weather and easy to do HIIT classes in or Thai Chi.

I now have two pairs of the explorer shorts 5.5 in a small. (I'm normally a size 10.) I bought them for running, but also where them for hiking. They are so comfortable, no rise up my leg, dry quickly and keep me cool in this hot weather. Plus, they have pockets!

Finally some longer shorts!!!

Originally posted on sweatybetty.com

Yes, I recommend this

These shorts feel really light and airy and are very comfortable. I'm yet to try them for running but I've played tennis on them and worn them casually during the day and I'm very pleased. I'm a size UK14 and the large fits perfectly. 5'9' and the sit mid thigh which is great. The navy blue colour doesn't show sweat marks. They could do with a zip pocket at the back but that's my only issue with them.
