High Waist Active Shorts | Black / S 100100204281983

How to measure

Use a soft measuring tape. For best results, measure while wearing light underwear or the type of base layer you plan to wear with the shorts. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and relaxed — not pinched into the skin.

To measure your body (to choose a size)

• Natural waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your torso (usually above the belly button). Breathe normally and keep the tape snug but not tight.
• Hips: With feet together, measure around the fullest part of your hips and seat.
• Thigh: Measure around the fullest part of one thigh (where the shorts will sit).
• Rise preference: For high-waist fit, measure from your natural waist down to where you want the crotch to sit to confirm comfort with the rise.

To measure a pair of shorts (garment measurements)

Lay the shorts flat on a surface, smooth out wrinkles, and measure then double the flat measurements to get the full circumference where applicable.

• Flat waist: Measure straight across the top of the waistband, then double that number to get the waist circumference.
• Flat hips: Measure across the widest part of the shorts, double for circumference.
• Inseam: Measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the leg hem.
• Front rise: Measure from the top of the front waistband to the crotch seam.
• Total length: Measure from top of the waistband down the outside seam to the hem.

Compare your body measurements to garment measurements or to a pair you already own for the most accurate fit. If you’re between sizes and you prefer a less compressive feel, size up.

Materials & features

Typical composition and construction used for high-waist active shorts:

• Fabric: Generally a performance blend such as 75–80% Nylon (Polyamide) / 20–25% Elastane (Spandex) or Polyester/Elastane. Some styles may use recycled fibers—check the garment label for exact content.
• Performance properties: Four-way stretch for freedom of movement, moisture-wicking and quick-dry finish, shape retention and light compression for support, and breathable gusset or mesh inserts for ventilation.
• Construction: Wide high-rise waistband for coverage and core support, flatlock seams to reduce chafing, reinforced crotch/gusset for durability, and squat-proof opacity.
• Care & longevity: Fabrics are usually engineered to resist pilling and fading, but life depends on washing and heat exposure—follow the care label.

Note: Exact fiber percentages, panels and trims can vary by color or production batch; always refer to the sewn-in label for precise material information.

Care guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle, inside out, with like colors.
• Use a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners and bleach (they break down performance finishes and elastane).
• Do not dry clean. Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to dry away from direct sun and high heat to preserve elasticity.
• If using the dryer, remove promptly to reduce wrinkling and heat exposure. Do not iron elastic panels.
• Wash after heavy sweating or exposure to sunscreen/oil to prevent fabric damage and odor buildup.
• Avoid contact with Velcro, rough surfaces and abrasive gym equipment to prevent pilling and snags.

Following these steps will help the shorts keep their shape, color and performance longer.

Style tips

• Gym ready: Pair with a matching or contrasting sports bra and lightweight running shoes for studio classes or cardio.
• Everyday athleisure: Tuck an oversized tee into the waistband or wear a cropped hoodie and low-top sneakers for an off-duty look.
• Layer up: Add a longline tank and a bomber or windbreaker for cooler mornings or travel.
• Casual weekend: Wear with a linen button-up or relaxed tee and slides for a warm-weather errand outfit.
• Accessorize: A belt bag or crossbody worn at the high waist emphasizes the silhouette; ankle socks and platform sneakers add a streetwear edge.
• Color tips: Tonal matching creates a sleek, elongated look; contrast bright tops or textured layers to make the shorts pop.
