The Best Athletic Shorts for Workouts and Leisure

Today I'm sharing my favorite shorts for working out and athleisure! Whether I am running errands, going for a long leisurely walk, or getting my sweat on, these shorts have become a new-to-me favorite. 

I've mentioned these shorts in a few past posts, and I've shared that I love them because they're not only well-made and comfortable, but they are also longer than most athletic shorts. I don't like super short shorts, so finding something a little longer than usual was a priority for me. Surprisingly, a longer length is hard to find! These are a solid 4", which is sometimes an entire inch longer than a lot of other options out there! 

I know when I mentioned that I prefer a more modest length in athletic shorts, many of you agreed, so I knew this was definitely something I should share!

As far as sizing goes, I am wearing my typical size 6. This brand's sizing is a little goofy sometimes, so I recommend going with your usual size or heading into the store to try them on! They come in a bunch of colors and prints, too! I've already washed them a few times and they wash well, which is an added bonus. 

I have a pair in white and then went back for white. I also wanted to order navy blue but they were out of stock in my size. I was doing a little shopping in Shadyside this weekend with my friend Aly and we popped into Athleta. I had never shopped the brand before but knew a lot of friends who love the brand. 

We tried on a ton of stuff and I honestly loved it all. But... I found ANOTHER short that might be even better (and $14 cheaper). I bought them immediately as they are 4.5" in length! They're almost identical to my black and white pairs, too. I'll have to see how they handle a workout and wash before I say that they're better, so I'll be sure to report back!

And lastly, I wanted to highlight these amazing sneakers. They are SO comfortable. I've been wearing them around for about 2 months now and really couldn't recommend them more! The shoes are water repellent and have a really good grip- so for any of those who do sports outside and often in the rain, these are for you! I also love that they are fitted to my foot and really breathable and lightweight. They're also under $90 and come in gray if you are looking for something more neutral!
