Reviews

The best shorts 😍

"Absolutely LOVE these shorts! I wear them all the time. They’re so comfortable and flattering. My only criticism is that the material is quite light and thin, and unfortunately the stitching ripped when the shorts caught on the edge of my car. I’d love to see the same style made with slightly more durable material."

The best shorts you will ever wear.

"The best running short! I al a size 14-16 and wear these in an XXL. The cut of the short is both freeing and covering for a beautiful flow and performance. The fabric is light, no texture or rubbing making these one of the most comfortable pairs of shorts I own. I allllways get compliments too. I’m an hourglass shape with a mum tum so I prefer to size up one size to help with personal preference on aesthetics."

Stepping Outside My Comfort Zone 💗

"I absolutely love my Accelerate 3” High-Rise Running Shorts in Boysenberry/Pink Rose! The comfort, amount of space, texture, and colour combination are everything. I’m usually not one for bright colours, but I wanted to step outside my comfort zone. I originally purchased these as a statement piece to celebrate completing my first half marathon, and honestly, I’ve never looked back! They made the milestone feel even more special, and I’m so happy I went for something outside my usual style. They’re comfortable, practical, and the colour combo is gorgeous. I would definitely purchase more!"

New favorites

"These shorts are my go-to. The high waist is so good (love the high waist more than mid rise, as being a taller girlie the mid rise waist made the shorts a little too short) I am usually a size 8-10 and get these shorts in a medium - I find the fit and length to be perfect going that little bit bigger in sizing."

Comfortable, Colorful & Great for Running

"Super comfortable and easy to move in! I love the color and design. I wore these for an 8K run on my first try and really liked the fit and feel. However, I noticed the fabric rubbing against itself and a few loose stitches afterward. Overall, still a good purchase and very comfortable for running."

— Maricar L. (5/5)

I love the feel of

"I love the feel of the shorts. Very light. Having a booty makes them a title shorter than I’m comfortable with. Also I wish I had noticed the higher waist option. I would have ordered those instead. I was constantly pulling tank down to meet my shorts so there wasn’t a gap between material."

— Stephanie H. (5/5)

The perfect run short

"Perfect for running. So light weight and flexible for movement. In love with all the colours. I sized up so they are a bit longer and didn’t find them overly big. Nice fit and drawstring feature on the waist so can always tighten them up. Would definitely recommend for warmer climates."

— Jackalyn M. (5/5)

Perfect Race shorts!

"My friend and I ordered these for our fitness race and go so many compliments!! Light airy shorts, the fabric is super comfortable and the colors are chefs kiss"

— Corrie H. (5/5)

The best running shorts

"Honestly the BEST running shorts I have ever purchased! They are so light weight and comfortable! Adding more to cart as we speak! Thanks team ☺️"

— Bec M. (5/5)

Love the vibrant colours!

"These shorts are so light weight, non restrictive with the big hip split. The perfect pair of running shorts. I bought these as well as a mid-rise and much prefer the length of the high rise as it covered a my bum slightly more."

— Vienna D. (4/5)
