Women’s Shorts & Skorts

Womens Workout Shorts and Skorts for Every Activity

Womens workout shorts should move with you, stay where you put them, and feel right the moment you pull them on. Ours are built on that brief. The collection includes short shorts for running, mid-length shorts for strength work, and skorts for tennis, pickleball, and the walk to the court after. Every style is cut to clear the leg during full range of motion without riding up.

The lineup covers our core fabrics. The TechSweat 3.5" Short is light, breathable, and quick-drying for the sweatiest workouts. The CloudKnit 3.5" Short brings soft brushed cotton to everyday wear. The Echo 5.5" Short gives a longer inseam with a smooth, streamlined fit. Skorts like the Doing Things 3" Skort and LightSpeed Minimal 3" Skort add a little more coverage with built-in shorts underneath.

How to Choose Between Shorts and Skorts

Short vs. skort. Shorts are the go-to for running, lifting, cycling, and most workouts. A skort layers a short skirt over built-in compression shorts, giving more coverage and a polished finish. A tennis skort is the classic case, moving freely through serves and lateral sprints while keeping you covered.

Inseam and coverage. Our shorts come in 3", 3.5", 5", and 5.5" inseams. The 3.5" styles, like the TechSweat 3.5" Short, stay out of the way for running and studio sessions. The 5" and 5.5" styles, like the Echo 5.5" Short, give more coverage for lifting, hiking, and warmer days when you want less exposure.

Fabric and use. For sweat-heavy workouts, reach for TechSweat. For soft everyday wear, reach for CloudKnit. For court sports, reach for the Doing Things 3" Skort or Club Skort. Every short includes a built-in liner, and every skort is lined with compression shorts long enough for real movement.

Built for the Court, the Trail, and the Everyday

Every pair in the collection sits high on the waist with a wide band that stays put through squats, bends, and serves. High rise workout shorts pair easily with cropped bras and layered tops. Our womens athletic skorts carry the look on and off the court, and several styles include pockets for phones and tennis balls. Free shipping on orders over $100, so you can try the short with the skort and see which one wins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a short and a skort?

A short is a single piece with a built-in liner. A skort is a short skirt layered over built-in compression shorts, giving the polished look of a skirt with the coverage of a short. Skorts are popular for tennis, pickleball, and golf, and our Doing Things 3" Skort and Club Skort carry them beyond the court.

Which inseam length is right for me?

A 3" or 3.5" inseam sits high on the leg, which works well for running, yoga, and studio classes. A 5" inseam adds mid-thigh coverage for strength, cycling, and hiking. A 5.5" inseam, like the Echo 5.5" Short, offers the most coverage in the collection while staying fitted through the leg.

Can I wear these for tennis or pickleball?

Yes. The Doing Things 3" Skort and LightSpeed Minimal 3" Skort are cut for court sports, with lateral-movement-friendly panels and built-in compression shorts. Several styles include a skort with pockets sized for a tennis ball. The Club Skort carries the look on and off the court with the same functional build.

How do I care for my shorts and skorts?

Machine wash cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Close any zippers or hook-and-loop hardware before washing. Skip fabric softener, which coats the performance fibers and reduces wicking. If you wear light colors on grass or clay courts, rinse out heavier dirt before the wash cycle.
