Zenana Windbreaker Smocked Waistband Running Shorts

Lightweight windbreaker shorts with a comfortable smocked waistband—designed for running, training, and everyday athleisure.

How to measure

Measure the garment laid flat on a smooth surface. For all "flat" measurements, measure seam‑to‑seam and multiply by 2 to get the circumference. Use a flexible tape measure and avoid stretching the fabric unless instructed.

1. Waist (flat): Lay the shorts flat. Measure across the top edge of the waistband from left to right. Multiply by 2 for waist circumference.
2. Waist (stretched): Gently stretch the smocked waistband to its comfortable fullest extent and measure across; multiply by 2. Provide both relaxed and stretched waist so customers know elastic range.
3. Hips: Measure 1½–2 inches (4–5 cm) below the crotch seam at the fullest part of the shorts. Measure across and multiply by 2.
4. Front rise: Measure from the top center front of the waistband down to the crotch seam (where the front and back meet).
5. Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg seam to the bottom hem.
6. Outseam (total length): Measure from the top of the waistband at the side seam down to the bottom hem along the outer side seam.
7. Thigh: Measure 1 inch (2.5 cm) below the crotch seam across the leg; multiply by 2 for thigh circumference.
8. Leg opening / hem: Measure across the bottom hem of one leg and multiply by 2.

Quick tips: compare these measurements to a pair of shorts you already own and like. If you prefer more coverage or plan to layer, consider sizing up. Conversion: 1 in = 2.54 cm.

Materials & construction

Actual composition may vary by color or production run—always check the sewn‑in care tag or product details for the exact fiber content. Typical components and benefits below:

• Outer shell: Lightweight woven polyester or nylon with a wind‑resistant feel and often a DWR (durable water‑repellent) finish—quick‑dry and packable.
• Waistband: Smocked elasticized band (polyester blend + elastane/spandex) for comfortable stretch and recovery.
• Lining/brief (if present): Breathable, moisture‑wicking mesh (usually polyester) for comfort during runs.
• Pockets & trim: Pocket bags and internal trims typically use lightweight polyester; some styles include reflective accents for low‑light visibility.
• Sustainability note: Some batches may use recycled polyester—check product details if recycled content is important to you.

• Tip: Show which size the model is wearing and how the fit appears (snug, true to size, relaxed)—this helps customers choose between sizes.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors; turn shorts inside out to protect the outer finish.
• Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener—softeners can reduce moisture‑wicking and harm any DWR coating.
• Fasten any zippers or closures and, if worried about the smocking, place shorts in a mesh laundry bag.
• Tumble dry low or, preferably, line dry. Avoid high heat—excessive heat can degrade elastic in the smocked waistband.
• To refresh a DWR finish, a short tumble on low or a warm iron through a thin cloth can help reactivate it—only if the care label allows.
• Spot clean stains promptly with mild soap and cold water; blot gently rather than scrubbing.
• Storage: fold or hang in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and elastic breakdown.
• If pilling appears, remove gently with a fabric shaver; avoid abrasive surfaces during wear.

Style tips

• Running: Pair with a fitted, moisture‑wicking tank or sports bra and supportive running shoes. Add a lightweight windbreaker for cooler starts.
• Athleisure: Tuck in a boxy tee or pair with an oversized hoodie and chunky sneakers for a relaxed street look.
• Travel & packable: These shorts pack small—pair with a simple tee, slip‑on sneakers, and a crossbody or belt bag for easy sightseeing.
• Warm‑weather casual: Match with a cropped linen shirt or ribbed tank and slide sandals for a breezy daytime outfit.
• Color play: Neutral shorts (black, navy, gray) balance bright tops; if the shorts are bright, keep the rest of the outfit neutral to let them pop.
• Accessories: Minimalist sunglasses, a lightweight cap, and a slim running belt or fanny pack keep essentials accessible without bulk.
• Sizing tip: If you prefer extra coverage or want room for layered tights underneath, size up; if you prefer a snug running fit, choose your usual size.
