Shorts for sports but not short shorts.

[meganorks]

I would rather not wear shorts, but this time of year I just get too hot. Every year I try looking for shorts but they are either short shorts or cycling shorts. But are there any shorts out there: Slightly looser; Slightly longer? At the moment I'm using some absolutely horrendous shorts of my DH 😂. They are for doing a sports activity in, so not looking for stylish, wearing out shorts.

Try those shorts that look like a tennis skirt. They are more "airy" and flattering imo.

Also looking for shorts that aren’t short shorts and aren’t moulded to my arse crack, I saw some nice pink ones in the window of sweaty Betty yesterday that looked like they had the floaty layer over the top of them which I’m annoyed that I didn’t go in and look at now.

Try basketball shorts, boxing shorts or maybe football shorts. If you need to carry a house key in them some improvisation will be required, but otherwise you can have yourself a pair of long, loose shorts suitable for sport, cut for the female shape and for a very reasonable price.

How about a skort?

Culottes?

I have the longer Halara shorts - wicking, stretchy material and cycling shorts under proper shorts but very cool. They’re great!
