I wanted the flexibility and softness of the material and the right length of the legs, because I am short person. I didn't want leggins for me put pressure on the abdomen and legs.I order a size S. I am a 5. tall and 114lb. I was positively surprised when I put them on. But I returned because color was not for me.I love these shorts. They are buttery soft and have tons of support and also stretch. They are great for working out and they do not ride up on long runs. Definitely will be buying more of theseI ordered the 5" length and they are great. I'm 5' 6" and about 150 lbs and got the medium. They fit great and are comfortable. They ride up a tiny bit while working out, but really not bad at all. Love the side pockets. They come up to my true waist, over my belly button, so they're perfect to wear with a crop top. Will be getting more to work out in!These are great. They aren’t lululemon but they are great dupes. They are cheap and easy to just through on. They are thick enough you feel supported and they aren’t going to be see through but not so thick that they are cutting you off.A great pair of work out shorts! the pockets are deep enough for the biggest Iphone! Flattering peach colour compliments my Princess Diana style!They are very comfortable. They do not roll down and the pocket on the side is very useful. I got a mediumI would buy a hundred of these shorts if I could afford it. I have both 5” and 9” inseams. I love them! They are comfortable, the pockets are fantastic. Highly recommend for busy, active people.I recently ordered a 5" inseam pair of shorts, my 3rd pair of 5". I have 4 of the 9" shorts and 5 full length and I live in them. LIVE. IN. THEM. Stitching totally holds up, the pockets are so handy. The fabric is thick enough to be warm in the cold and cool in the heat. I am 5'4" and 175lbs and I wear the XL. I wear the shorts under dresses to prevent chaffing and also just wear them by themselves, tho if they get hiked up too high there is a hint of camel toe from the seam. The triangle stitching further down prevents a full frontal wedgie but the shape is there if you're a lil thick like me.Of the three pairs of 5" inseam shorts I have purchased, they are all a little different. The 9" and full leg are the same. The first pair of 5" I ordered in black and they're a different brand & material and have a small extra pocket on the waistline. I love these shorts, and usually wear them when I swim bc the material is a bit closer to a swimsuit material and I prefer to swim in shorts.The second pair of 5" inseam shorts were red and they had extra zipper pockets on the side pockets and a chord of elastic running horizontal about halfway down the waist. This band is very annoying and uncomfortable. I barely ever wear this pair. The material is like the 9" and full length pants but feels a bit thinner however, they are the same brand.The third pair of 5" inseam shorts I just ordered in May 22 are green and they're exactly like the 9" and full leg. Perfect. Glad they finally figured that out.Way shorter than on the picture!It is what I was looking for....a bit expensive though!
