Product Information

E.S.: Three inches. I have found this is my sweet spot where I feel like I have enough coverage without feeling like there’s too much fabric on my legs. Shorts do tend to ride up when I run, so I’m a fan of a little more length than less. The temperature may be dropping, but if you're a member of the 'It's Always Shorts Weather' club, you'll know that braving bare legs year-round requires not only fortitude, but also a brilliant pair of running shorts. Some women’s running shorts are skin-tight, while others feature a looser fit and a split-style that allows for great range of motion. Shorts may have a built-in brief for more coverage and support. Women’s running shorts come in many different lengths, from 3- to 10-inch options, so you can choose the one that suits you best. If the idea of wearing skintight shorts turns you cold but it's too warm to run in leggings, you do still have options. 2-in-1 shorts can be a great compromise, as they look like classic shorts but they have a tight cycle-style layer underneath to minimise rubbing, while the relaxed outer layer provides extra coverage. '2-in-1 shorts have a longer inner layer which can help prevent chafing, and cover modesty if you don't like wearing something too short,' says Stewart. • Split shorts

Find your perfect fit with Nike women's running shorts. Choose form-fitting styles that keep you secure, or feel light and airy in looser-fitting designs. And for extra support and comfort, go for shorts with inner briefs that fit like a second skin. Two-in-one running shorts for women provide coverage along with freedom of movement. The loose outer shorts combine with stretchy tights underneath to give you a secure feeling when you're warming up or running hard. Look out for pairs with elasticated waistbands that keep shorts in place when you're on the move. Adjust them with the drawcord fastenings for a fit that feels just right, and you're ready to hit the road. Running shorts for women are typically broken down into the following three categories: • Compression / cycling-style shortsInterior Liner: There are plenty of women’s running shorts made with and without liners. Some runners love to have a brief liner or built-in compression shorts that can replace underwear and help minimize chafing. Other people can’t stand them. Again, this is a preference thing. For more coverage, explore options such as the Method 8” Short Tight. Longer shorts provide protection in areas that might otherwise rub together, which makes for a more comfortable and positive running experience. At any length, our short tights are built for speed, smoothness, and the support you want. These high-performance women’s running shorts from Lululemon, a brand famous for their premium leggings, earn our top overall spot for their quality, features, and comfort. Designed with runners in mind, the shorts feature a lightweight waistband and continuous drawstring so they’ll stay in place without digging into your sides. We've gone and found shorts that champion breathability over chafing and won't slow you down when you're looking to speed things up. It's not often we get to enjoy the sun as we stride so we might as well make the most of it. Why are women’s running shorts so short? Hot summer days are no sweat for women's split-side running shorts styles. Options like the Chaser 3” Short or High Point 3” 2-in-1 Short give you the secure fit you need for your run and leave your skin free to be sun-kissed or cooled in the breeze. Looking for more flexibility? Try the Moment 5” Short with a no-slip drawstring waistband designed to move with you through stretches and training at the gym.

It's also normal to wear different shorts to suit your training days. 'Lots of runners prefer to wear a shorter pair for racing or short runs, as this will allow more range of motion and increase breathability,' says Stewart. 'However, if your thighs tend to rub together, I would advise going for a longer pair of compression shorts, or a 2-in-1 to minimise any issues.' The best women’s running shorts to buy now The good news is that like running shoes, women's running shorts have come on leaps and bounds in recent years, and now there really is a pair for all seasons (that you can also match to your favourite running top). One only has to browse the online shelves for a few seconds to see that running shorts have taken the term shorts to a whole new level (or should we say length). But if you tend to prefer your pants more on the modest side of the spectrum, you may be wondering why so little fabric seems to be the norm and if it’s really necessary to bare it all in the name of running.And if things are really scorching, the last thing you want is to add another layer downstairs by covering your undies in what is technically a second set of pants. Nylon and polyester are good choices in general, as they will not only keep you comfortable and dry, but are durable and last mile after mile. The fit of your shorts is also very important—particularly with a longer short like these, you want to make sure that there is either a split or a flare at the bottom. This helps ensure that you have enough range of motion as you run, which can prevent chafing and allows enough room for your legs to move comfortably without causing the fabric to ride up.
