My thighs rub in summer and most fixes are boring black, so finding these in a lavender felt like a win twice over. They stay exactly mid thigh through a full day of walking with zero rub, the light compression is supportive without squeezing, and the pocket fits my phone. The dusty purple is such a flattering shade. 5'5, small, true to size.

The lilac color is so soft and pretty. No ride up, real pockets. Love.

I wear these under my tennis skirts so I can move freely and not flash the court, and the lilac peeking out is honestly adorable. They stay at mid thigh through every lunge, the high waist tucks under the skirt without a bulge, and the pocket holds a ball and my phone. 5'6, small, true to size. so much better than the shorts I used before.

no fussing with them from morning walk to evening errands

airy on a warm walk and they never feel heavy on the leg

a soft dusty purple that turns a basic bike short into something I love

a season of sun and washing and the pale purple has not dulled

I needed one short I could sweat through a cycle class in and still look tidy at school pickup, and the lilac nails it. Support that is gentle yet steady, a high rise that never folds over, and a side pocket that swallows my phone. Not a thread of chafe or a hint of roll even on muggy mornings. 5'6, small, and they still look brand new.

I bought the black bike shorts first for the anti chafe function, but the soft purple has become the pair I actually reach for because the soft dusty purple makes them feel like more than just gym practicality. They stay planted at mid thigh with no rolling, the high waist smooths my middle, and the pocket holds my phone on a walk. That something so useful is also this pretty a colour means I wear them far more than I ever expected to wear a bike short. 5'5, small, true to size.

a grown up shade with none of the neon you get in cheaper purples

the lilac and the no roll leg make these my summer default

zero chafe, zero roll, roomy pockets, and a stunning colour

checked the light purple in a squat, no sheerness

I packed these for a walking holiday and they earned their spot in the bag. No chafe over miles of cobblestone, a high waist that stayed comfy on long train sits, and pockets that kept my phone and metro card handy. The lilac washed out in a hotel sink and dried by morning. 5'6, medium, true to size and still going strong.

What impressed me most is that the tall waistband never folds or rolls no matter what I do, whether I am cycling, doing squats or just sitting on the grass at a picnic, it stays flat and smooth at my natural waist all day. The lilac shorts are completely opaque, the leg never rides up, and the pocket sits neatly on the side. a genuinely well designed short that stays exactly where you put it in a colour I adore.

The fit and no chafe are great, the lilac just arrived more of a greyish mauve than the soft purple I expected from the site. still comfy and I do wear them, just calibrate your expectations on the shade

a pale purple I feared would show, but it passes the squat test

A pale purple over a bike saddle sounds like a recipe for see through, but there is zero transparency at full stretch, so I lean and rise out of the seat without a worry. The tall band holds its place, my phone rides flat in the side pocket, and the dusty lilac has not lost a shade of colour after a season of hard cycling. proof a pastel can be tough.

This dusty lavender is gorgeous and they never chafe, the rise is just very high so it hits right under my bra. fine once I got used to it and the color is worth it

Wore these lilac shorts on vacation and they were so comfortable I ordered another pair before I even got home. Not synthetic, soft and cool all day, and they don't ride up. The lilac is a soft pretty shade.

My walk to the office in summer used to leave me chafed and miserable before I even sat down, and slipping these on under my dresses has quietly fixed that. They stay put at mid thigh the whole way, the pocket holds my transit card and phone so I am not digging in my bag at the barrier, and the soft mauve peeking out if the breeze catches my hem is far nicer than plain black shorts. cool, comfortable and pretty enough that I do not mind them showing. 5'6, medium, true to size.

Switched to non-synthetic fabrics across my wardrobe a while back and finding good activewear has been hard. These lilac bike shorts are the best I've come across. The eucalyptus fabric breathes, doesn't overheat, and stays soft. No ride up either. 5'6, medium.

a soft hug on the legs that never feels like a squeeze

the lilac and a plain white tee is my go to summer look

Whenever a friend mentions summer thigh chafe I send them straight to these. Mine are the mauve and they have held up to a full season of near daily walks, spin classes, and afternoons at the park without the seams giving or the colour dulling. They stay planted at mid thigh, the high waist smooths without folding when I sit, and the pocket carries my phone so I rarely bring a bag anymore. The dusty purple is prettier than any workout short has a right to be. 5'6, small, true to size.

Odd use maybe but I garden in these and they are perfect for it, I can crouch and kneel all afternoon with no rolling and no rub, and the pocket keeps my phone on me out in the yard. The lavender hides dirt smudges better than black somehow. High waist stays put bending over beds. 5'7, medium, true to size and tough.

My concern with non-synthetic activewear is always that it'll feel nice but fall apart. These have been in heavy rotation for a month and the lilac is the same, the fabric is still soft, no pilling. They hold up. Real pockets too. 5'4, small.

These have crept beyond workouts into being what I lounge in on hot summer evenings, because the soft lilac is cheerful, the high waist is comfortable with no digging when I curl up on the sofa, and the light compression feels supportive rather than restrictive even at rest. That they double as comfy home wear on top of solving my thigh chafe on walks makes them one of the most worn things I own all summer. a genuinely versatile little short.

The side pocket on these is deeper than I expected, holding my large phone completely with space left for a card, so it never peeks out or feels insecure even when I break into a jog. That, combined with a wide leg that does not ride up and a soft lilac that is prettier than any workout short has a right to be, has made them a summer staple. I can head out completely hands free and never worry about my phone.
