Quality cycling shorts (not for cycling)

[Momrage]

When I say decent I mean like the equivalent of good pair of leggings vs a bad pair. Ones that skim the bumps, don't give you a muffin top of the upper thigh and equally aren't baggy and saggy.

Do they exist? I've not really done the whole bike shorts trend as I don't love my legs, but with two toddlers in the loose this summer I need to be more agile 😁

Hi OP,

I’ve always loved Sweaty Betty Power cycling shorts, which you can get in varying lengths to suit your shape. They have a pocket for your phone too, pocket for keys and last for an exceptionally long time. I like the drawstring aspect on the waist too.

A softer version would be Lululemon Align shorts - very soft/ buttery feel with a looser waist that the SB shorts (no drawstring). They do certain colours on sale for less than their significant initial cost.

For a cheaper version, there is an Amazon brand called CRZ. I was recommended them by quite a few people but was skeptical as so cheap/ on Amazon - but have recently bought a pair and love them!

I wear all of the above to exercise but also for everyday, perhaps with a summer shirt or under a shorter dress.

Have a lovely active summer!

Super helpful, thanks @BeHappyHazelCat tempted to start with the CRZ before investing as I still fear I'll look less sporty and more like a gammon joint.

I adore these shorts and wear them all the time. Under dresses and alone with tops. They are comfy and lovely

I am sure you will both look lovely and, once you start enjoying how liberating cycle shorts are all the time, never go back!
