How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure against your body while wearing thin underwear or the kind of base layer you’d wear under the shorts. Measure relaxed—don’t pull the tape too tight. For the most reliable fit, take both body measurements and, when possible, measure a similar garment laid flat.

Body measurements (how to measure you)

1. High-rise waist: Identify where you want the waistband to sit (high on the waist). Wrap the tape around that point, keeping it parallel to the floor. Relax and breathe normally while measuring.
2. Natural waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso if you want the natural-waist reference (useful for comparing to other garments).
3. Hips: Measure at the fullest part of your hips and seat with your feet together—this is the widest circumference the shorts must fit over.
4. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh.
5. Inseam (body): From the crotch to the point where you want the hem to sit on your inner leg. For these high‑waist active shorts, many people prefer a 3–5" inseam—measure your preferred length.
6. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam (where front and back meet) straight up to the top of the front waistband; useful when comparing tummy coverage.

Garment measurements (how to measure the shorts laid flat)

1. Lay the shorts flat on a smooth surface and smooth any wrinkles—do not stretch the fabric when measuring.
2. Waist (flat): Measure across the top of the waistband from side to side, then multiply by 2 for circumference.
3. Hips (flat): Measure across the widest part of the seat, then multiply by 2.
4. Front rise / Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top edge of the waistband (front and back separately if needed).
5. Inseam: Measure the inner seam from the crotch seam to the hem.
6. Outseam / Length: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom hem along the outer edge.

Quick tips: Compare these measurements to a pair of shorts you already own that fit the way you like. Because active fabrics stretch, a snug flat measurement does not always equal a tight fit on the body—check fabric stretch and choose based on desired compression.

Materials & fabric information

Leggings Depot Full Size High Waist Active Shorts are made from a high-stretch performance blend designed for movement, support and everyday wear. Typical fabric composition for this style (varies by color/edition—always check the product tag for exact percentages):

• Base fabric: Nylon or Polyester (≈75–85%) — durable, quick-drying and soft to the touch.
• Elastane / Spandex: (≈15–25%) — provides 4-way stretch, recovery and a smooth, compressive fit.
• Gusset / lining: Sewn-in gusset or liner in breathable stretch fabric for comfort and chafe-free movement.

Fabric performance highlights:

• 4-way stretch for freedom of movement
• Moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties for workouts
• Medium compression—smooths and supports without digging in
• Soft matte finish that resists shine and holds color

Note: Exact fiber percentages and any special finishes (anti-odor, UPF, recycled content) are listed on the garment tag or the specific colorway product details.

Model & fit

Fit notes for this high-waist active short:

• Fit: True to size for most body types. The waistband is high-rise to provide tummy coverage and secure hold during activity.
• Length: Mid-thigh to upper-thigh coverage depending on size and inseam choice (typical inseam for this style is short—about 3–5").
• Reference: For visual reference most product photos show a model approximately 5'9" (175 cm) wearing a size Small. Use your waist and hip measurements to match your size chart. If you prefer a less compressive, more relaxed fit, choose the next size up.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

1. Turn shorts inside out before washing to protect color and reduce abrasion.
2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors. Use a mild, sport-friendly detergent; avoid bleach and heavy detergents.
3. Do not use fabric softeners—these coat technical fibers and reduce moisture-wicking and stretch performance.
4. Wash with similar fabrics (avoid washing with rough items like jeans or Velcro that can cause pilling).
5. For best longevity, air dry flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. If you must tumble dry, use low/air-dry only—high heat degrades elastane.
6. Do not iron or dry clean. If the waistband needs reshaping, reshape while damp and lay flat.

Extra tips: For oil or deodorant stains, pre-treat with a small amount of dish soap or an enzyme-based stain remover and rinse in cold water before washing. Avoid over-washing—air out between wears when possible to preserve stretch and color.

Style tips

• Workout-ready: Pair with a high-support sports bra or a fitted tank and running shoes for a gym- or studio-ready look.
• Casual & Errands: Throw on an oversized tee or hoodie and white sneakers for an effortless athleisure outfit.
• Layered Street Style: Add a cropped denim jacket or an oversized blazer with chunky sneakers for a trend-forward look.
• Travel & Comfort: The quick-dry fabric and compact fit make these shorts perfect for flights—pair with slip-on sneakers and a lightweight zip hoodie.
• Beach or Pool: Use as a cover-up over swimwear—pair with slides and a wide-brim hat.
• Proportion tips: Petite? Try a fitted crop top to visually lengthen the legs. Curvy? High-waist helps define the waist—balance with longer layers if you prefer more coverage.
• Color matching: Solid shorts work great with printed tops; patterned shorts look best with neutral basics to keep the outfit balanced.
• Accessories: Belt bags, lightweight windbreakers, and sporty caps complete the active-lifestyle look.
