WE ARE FEARLESS Rainbow Shorts of Positivity

Great shorts that felt roomy at first, but stayed firmly in place while running. I loved the higher-waisted design that felt comfortable and stretchy, but didn’t roll down once I was moving around. The bold Fearless rainbow-coloured logo on the side gives the design a modern twist, and the quick-dry fabric is perfect for any weather. These shorts could be improved for runners by having a small pocket, but overall they’re a good option for general exercise.
VOXY 5 inch Shorts

I am really impressed with these running shorts. My concern with running shorts is that they ride up and cause chafing on a long run. I am a size 12/14 bottom half and for me, the Large size was a good fit and supported nicely around my tum and thighs. I found I had to adjust the shorts once after starting a run, but that was it; as soon as I had generated a sweat, there was no more movement in the legs at all. The material felt nice and thick with no risk of being seen through, and the colour is fun and bright; I get bored by too much black running kit. My only negative would be the lack of pocket for a phone as I like to run with music.
