Zenana High Waisted Zippered Back Pocket Running Shorts

How to measure

Use these steps to choose the best size and verify fit. Measure over lightweight clothing or underwear and keep the tape snug but not tight.

To measure your body

1. Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (natural waist). For high-waisted shorts, measure where the waistband will sit — typically just above the belly button.
2. Hips: With feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks.
3. Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of the thigh where the short leg will sit.
4. Inseam: Measure from the crotch to the hem at the inner leg. For a quick reference, many running shorts have a short inseam (often 2–4 inches) — measure a pair you already own to compare.
5. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the front waistband to confirm how high the shorts will sit on the torso.

To measure a garment (recommended when comparing to a similar pair)

1. Lay the shorts flat on a smooth surface. Smooth out wrinkles but do not stretch the fabric.
2. Waist: Measure straight across the waistband (unstretched) and multiply by two to get the full circumference. For stretch fit, also record the fully stretched measurement.
3. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the hem.
4. Front rise: Measure from the crotch seam to the top edge of the front waistband.
5. Leg opening: Measure straight across the hem of one leg and double for full circumference.
6. Compare these garment measurements to your body measurements and the product size chart to select size.

Materials & construction

Exact fabric composition can vary by style and production run. Typical materials and features for high-waisted running shorts of this type include:

• Main fabric: Performance knit blends such as polyester-spandex or nylon-spandex for moisture-wicking, quick-dry performance and 4-way stretch.
• Waistband: Wide, high-rise elastic or power-mesh lined waistband for support and a smooth fit.
• Pocket: Zippered back pocket (polyester or mesh-lined) sized to hold keys, cards or a small phone.
• Seams & trims: Flatlock seams to reduce chafing and promote comfort during movement.
• Finishes: Some versions include odor-control or anti-pill finishes — check the specific product details for confirmation.

Note: Check the product tag or product details for the exact fiber percentages and construction of the specific pair before purchase.

Model & fit reference

Photos are intended to show fit and proportion. As a general reference:

• Photo model height is typically between 5'8"–5'10" (173–178 cm).
• Photographed size is commonly a Small (S) unless otherwise stated.
• If you prefer a snug, compressive fit choose your usual size; if you want more coverage or a relaxed fit, consider sizing up.

Always consult the product size chart and the measurement instructions above for best results.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Close the zipper and turn shorts inside out before washing to protect the pocket and hardware.
• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; use a mild detergent.
• Avoid bleach and fabric softener — softeners can reduce moisture-wicking performance.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, line dry flat out of direct sunlight to preserve elasticity and color.
• If needed, use a cool iron on the reverse side and avoid ironing over zippers, logos, or trims.
• For stubborn stains, treat promptly with a gentle stain remover and rewash; avoid harsh chemical treatments that can break down fibers.
• Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight to reduce fading and elastic degradation.

Always follow the garment care label for the most accurate instructions.

Style tips

• Run-ready: Pair with a lightweight moisture-wicking tank or fitted tee and your go-to running shoes. Use the zip pocket for keys or a card so you can go hands-free.
• Gym & circuit: Wear with a supportive sports bra and breathable socks; add a lightweight zip-up for warm-ups and cooldowns.
• Layer for cool weather: Add running tights or compression leggings underneath, plus a windbreaker or pullover for temperature control.
• Everyday athleisure: Tuck in a relaxed tee or wear a cropped hoodie for a casual, street-ready look. Finish with white sneakers or slip-on sandals.
• Travel & errands: High waist + secure pocket = great travel shorts. Pair with a crossbody bag and sunglasses for easy movement and hands-free convenience.
• Color pairing: Neutral shorts work well with bright tops for a pop of color; monochrome looks create a longer-line silhouette.
• Accessories: Lightweight running cap, reflective gear for low-light runs, and low-profile socks keep the look functional and clean.
