How We Judged It

What to check before you buy

01

Fit & Rise

High waisted, loose fit, smocked elastic waistband

The smocked waistband and pleated side detail give you shape and movement without compression. Built-in briefs mean no layering needed, and the high rise sits where it's supposed to stay put during runs or tennis.

02

Fabric & Feel

95% polyester, 5% spandex, quick-dry, lightweight and breathable

This blend is a workhorse for summer—it won't cling to sweat, dries fast after a wash, and breathes well enough for hot-weather workouts. The fabric weight keeps them from feeling thin or see-through.

03

Versatility

Sized S–XL (S=US 4–6 through XL=US 16–18); shorty-length

Built to move from gym to brunch to lounging without a wardrobe change. The shorty length works for most body types, and the range of sizes means you can dial in your actual size rather than size up.
