    Obsessed with these shorts

    First I bought these shorts in a medium because it seemed like the style would run small... and I hated them on me. I thought there was no way a small would look good, but I decided to exchange them just in case. And now I'm OBSESSED with them!! They're so cute and flattering! I have an athletic hourglass figure and I think these shorts really complement it. For me (5'3", 120lbs) they fit TTS without being too tight around the thighs or too loose around the waist. Would love more colors!

    really short

    I'm 5'7 and run a lot, and I've bought different 3" shorts by Outdoor Voices before and always love them. I was excited to get these in the mail because I love the color but they're super duper short! It feels more like I'm wearing spandex shorts than work out shorts.

    Great shorts

    I'm 5'7 and around 140lbs, smaller through waist with wide hips. The medium is perfect but the small was way too small. These shorts are great, loose in the leg with a snug fit around the waist. The do ride up a bit.

    LOVE these shorts

    These shorts are lightweight, comfortable, and most importantly, true to size! I wore these on my last run and they didn't ride up or bunch up in any weird ways. My only complaint is that they don't have more colors because I would buy them all!!
