How to measure

Measuring the garment (lay flat)

1. Waist: Lay the shorts flat and smooth but do not stretch. Measure straight across the top edge of the waistband from seam to seam. Multiply by 2 to get the full circumference. For elastic waistbands also record the measurement when fully relaxed and fully stretched.
2. Hips: With the shorts laid flat, measure across the widest part of the shorts (about 3–5 cm / 1–2" below the crotch seam). Multiply by 2.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the hem.
4. Outseam: Measure from the top of the waistband to the bottom of the leg hem along the outside edge.
5. Front rise / Back rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top edge of the waistband at the front (front rise) and at the back (back rise).
6. Thigh width: Measure across the leg 5 cm (≈2") below the crotch seam and multiply by 2.

Measuring your body (for best fit)

1. Waist: Measure around the point where you plan to wear the waistband (natural waist or a little lower for low-rise). Keep the tape comfortably snug but not tight.
2. Hips: Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat while standing with feet together.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the point where you want the shorts to end (or measure a pair that fits you well).
4. Compare & choose: Compare your body measurements to the garment measurements. For a slim fit, allow 0–2 cm (0–¾") ease around the waist/hips. If unsure, size up for more comfort.
5. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm. Round measurements to the nearest 0.5 cm for accuracy.

Materials

Wide Waistband Slim Fit Sports Shorts are typically made from performance stretch fabrics engineered for support and movement. Below are common components and what they mean for performance and care.

• Main fabric: Nylon (polyamide) + elastane (spandex) or polyester + elastane blends. These provide four‑way stretch, shape retention, quick-drying properties and a smooth hand. Typical blends: ~75–85% nylon/polyester + 15–25% elastane.
• Waistband: Wide, double-layer knit panel with internal elastic or supportive knit for structure and a stay‑in‑place fit; often lined for comfort and may include a silicone gripper or drawcord.
• Lining / gusset: Breathable mesh or light jersey (usually polyester/elastane) to increase airflow and reduce chafing.
• Seams & details: Flatlock seams reduce irritation; bonded hems and taped seams improve durability and streamline the silhouette.
• Finishes: Moisture-wicking, quick-dry, anti-odor finishes (silver or zinc-based), and sometimes UPF protection. Sustainable versions may use recycled polyester (rPET) or regenerated nylon (Econyl).

Note: Exact fiber percentages and treatments vary by style and color—always check the sewn label for the precise composition of the pair you are buying.

Model information

Reference fit details to help you pick the right size:

• Model height: 5'9" (175 cm)
• Model measurements: Bust 33" / 84 cm — Waist 24" / 61 cm — Hips 35" / 89 cm
• Wearing size: Small (S)
• Fit notes: Slim, body‑skimming cut with a wide high/medium-rise waistband that holds in place without digging. If you prefer a very snug, compressive feel, size down; for more ease and mobility, choose the next size up.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Always follow the garment's sewn care label first—it overrides general guidance.
• Machine wash cold (30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle with like colors. Turn the shorts inside out to protect finishes, prints and silicone grippers.
• Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and optical brighteners.
• Do NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheets; they can reduce moisture-wicking performance and damage elastane.
• Hang to dry or tumble dry on low. High heat degrades elastane and shortens the lifespan of the waistband.
• If ironing is necessary, use a cool iron and avoid direct contact with elastic panels—use a pressing cloth.
• Rinse promptly after contact with chlorine or salt water; both can degrade fibers and finishes.
• Store folded rather than hung to prevent the waistband from stretching out over time.
• For pilling or minor snags, use a fabric shaver or carefully trim loose threads; do not pull.

Style tips

• Workout-ready: Pair with a supportive sports bra or fitted tank and low-profile trainers. Add a lightweight zip jacket for warm-ups.
• Run-friendly: Team with a moisture-wicking singlet, running socks and responsive shoes. Use a slim belt bag or shorts pocket for keys/phone.
• Athleisure: Wear with an oversized tee or cropped sweatshirt and chunky sneakers or slides for an on‑trend casual look.
• Balance proportions: Because the shorts are slim and short, balance with a looser top or a longline layer (oversized shirt, utility jacket) for a flattering silhouette.
• Color pairing: Neutral shorts (black, navy, grey) pair with almost anything; bright or printed shorts work best with simple, muted tops to keep the outfit cohesive.
• Accessorize: Cap or visor, minimalist jewelry, sport watch, and a belt bag or crossbody keep the look functional and modern.
• Fit hacks: If you want a longer line, choose a size with a slightly longer outseam or wear with low-cut trainers; for a compact sporty look, tuck in your top to emphasize the wide waistband.
