"Want a perfect pair of workout shorts for summer? These are a must! The fabrics so silky smooth. The waist band is not like the leggings, it’s a bit more flexible and there is an internal pocket- big enough for your phone or keys. They are super comfortable but also has the right about of compression to keep you held in and comfortable!"
"I love these shorts. They fit well, the quality is great, and no forever chemicals! They are true to size, I ordered a medium and they fit perfectly. For reference I’m 5’4”, 146 lbs, 28” waist."
"I love my tank, gym shorts, and sports bra. They are so soft and comfortable. Unlike a lot of other clean clothing brands, the material is thin and easy to move in."
"Love these. Fit great. I sized up to a small because it was a little too tight on my endometriosis belly but I think for most people it would fit true to size. Love to have found a non-toxic and still good looking short/legging option!"
"These are literally the best biker shorts ever. I love the waistband and the length is perfect. They have enough elasticity are fitted to the body without being tight. Huge fan!"
"I wear these for hot yoga and hot Pilates. They fit very well and are comfortable to sweat in. I can tell they will hold up for a long time."
"I’ve been on the hunt for a good pair of biker shorts and always feels kind of awkward in them. These Definite Article shorts are perfection. Enough compression at the top without being constrictive and not too tight around the thighs. Buttery soft and I can’t wait to workout in them."
"These are my new go to shorts! I have worked out, ran errands, cleaned, and lounged in them! They are comfy and stay in place! I love them! I will definitely be buying more pairs!"
"I was looking for some safer workout clothes and these seem to fit the bill. They wash well, they fit great, and they are super comfy. Highly recommend!"
"These shorts fit and feel great. Held up in the wash, they are not see through and I felt contained but not constricted - like I can still breathe. Wore them during a full body strength day and a run outside so far and seemed great for both."
