Halara shorts - which size do I need as a UK size 14-16?

[CeciliaMars]

I'm finally going to cave and buy some Halara exercise shorts, the ones that have built-in cycling shorts underneath. I am a size 14-16, and am confused which size to order. Size L says it's a 14, which I'm worried might be a bit snug, and size XL is a 16-18, which I'm worried will be too big! Any advice appreciated.

I wear a L in the leggings and I’m a size 12, at 14/16 I would go XL.

I bought some large cropped leggings which fitted perfectly however size 14 shorts as you describe didn’t go over my knees!

Right, XL it is then…

Which ones are you getting? Every time I look I’m bamboozled by choice…

Are they actually good? I like the length but some of the reviews are questionable.

Large
I bought the 5 inch shorts and am a smaller size 14 and the medium are fine. XL will be too big.

I’m a 14 and just bought these last week (they arrived within a week). I sized up to the xl and they are perfect. To be honest I’ve had to size up on everything I’ve bought from Halara

I'm opposite and have to size down!

I have the 5 inch ones and went for a large. I’m size 14. They’re really comfy. Considering buying another pair now.

Maybe I’m in denial and I’m not a 14 🤣

I’m a 14-16 and bought a couple of pairs recently on size M. Perfect fit. Most comfortable shorts I have ever worn.

I’m a 14 most days, but 16 on my bigger days. XL will be too big.

Oh blimey, I’m confused now! Thank you though.

I'm agreeing that xl will 100% be too big for you too.

I’m a 12 and have bought a few things in Medium- they fit fine but not loose so I would say large for a regular size 14 but XL if you’re between 14 and 16.
