High Waist Active Shorts

How to measure

Measure your body

1. Waist — Measure around your natural waist (the narrowest part), keeping the tape snug but not tight.
2. Hips — Measure around the fullest part of your hips and buttocks with feet together.
3. Inseam — Measure from the top of your inner thigh (crotch) down to where you want the shorts to end.
4. Thigh — Measure around the fullest part of your upper thigh.
5. Rise — For front rise, measure from the crotch seam up to the top of the waistband at center front; for back rise, measure from crotch seam to top of the waistband at center back.

Measure the shorts (laid flat)

1. Lay flat — Place the shorts on a flat surface and smooth out wrinkles.
2. Waist (flat) — Measure across the top edge from side to side, then double that number to get full circumference. Note both relaxed and fully stretched measurements if the waistband is elastic.
3. Hip (flat) — Measure across the shorts about 1–2" (2–5 cm) below the crotch seam and double for circumference.
4. Front rise — Measure from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband at center front.
5. Inseam — Measure from the crotch seam along the inner seam to the hem.
6. Leg opening — Measure across the hem of one leg and double for circumference.

Tip: For the best fit, compare these flat measurements with a pair of shorts you already own that fits how you like. Allow 1–2 cm (0.5–1 in) for ease if you prefer a less snug fit.

Materials & features

High Waist Active Shorts are crafted from a performance knit designed for movement and comfort. Typical composition and features:

• Fabric: nylon (polyamide) + elastane (spandex) blend — commonly around 78–82% nylon and 18–22% elastane to provide four‑way stretch and recovery.
• Performance: moisture‑wicking, quick‑dry, breathable and lightweight for workouts.
• Construction: flatlock seams to reduce chafing, double‑layer high waistband for support, and a ventilating gusset panel where applicable.
• Details: hidden pocket and smooth, low‑profile finishes to reduce bulk under layers (features may vary by style).
• Sustainability: some colorways may include recycled fibers — check the product label for exact composition.

Note: For exact fiber percentages and trim materials, refer to the product tag or label included with your purchase.

About the model

The model shown is 5'9" (175 cm) with a 24" (61 cm) waist and 35" (89 cm) hips and is wearing a size Small. On this model the shorts sit at the natural waist and hit the upper‑mid thigh, offering a fitted, supportive silhouette. If you prefer a more relaxed fit, consider sizing up.

Care guide — To keep it lovely longer

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, inside out, with like colors.
• Use mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners (they can break down elastane and reduce moisture‑management properties).
• Fasten any zips and turn garment inside out to protect trims.
• Remove promptly after washing and reshape while damp.
• Line dry or lay flat to dry. Tumble dry low only if the care label permits.
• Do not iron directly on elastic trims or prints. Avoid dry cleaning unless specified on the label.
• After chlorinated pool use, rinse garment in fresh water as soon as possible to protect fibers and color.

Pro tip: Store folded (rather than hung) to prevent overstretching the waistband; use a mesh laundry bag for delicates to reduce abrasion in the wash.

Style tips

• Active: Pair with a high‑support sports bra and breathable running shoes for gym or studio sessions.
• Casual athleisure: Combine with an oversized tee or cropped hoodie and chunky sneakers for an off‑duty look.
• Warm‑weather layering: Layer with a lightweight linen shirt left open and slide sandals for a relaxed summer outfit.
• Elevated casual: Add a lightweight blazer and minimal sneakers for a sporty‑smart combination.
• Accessorize: Try a belt bag at the waist, a cap, or simple layered necklaces to keep the look functional yet polished.
• Fit hint: If you’re between sizes and like compression, size down; if you prefer more coverage or to style oversized, size up.
