Nike Sportswear

I was excited when I first opened the package for these shorts. The blue is a stunning, navy blue color, but the rest of the Design falls a little short of my expectations for this brand. To start the shorts are way too big in the bottom area, I am a standard extra small in this brand and I feel like I am wearing balloon shorts. The waist fits perfectly. It has belt loops in the front, but not in the back so they must just be for an aesthetic addition? I’m not sure. But they make my backside look four times larger than it is, and not in the most flattering way. The pockets are a bonus. But I will likely never be wearing these shorts sadly.

When I first received and opened my package in the mail, I was elated about the beautiful color and fabric! Silky navy blue with black lace trim - stunning. I admired the quality of the fabric, especially the extra mesh layer inside. However, the fit of these shorts was very odd. The waist fit wonderfully and was very comfortable but the hips and leg holes were far too wide, almost turning the look of the shorts into a tennis skirt. Comfort is super important to me, especially when it comes to sport/leisure wear. While the shorts looked and felt great, unfortunately, these shorts just weren’t a good fit for my slim physique and I didn’t feel comfortable wearing them during heavy activities.

I am a 32 year old mother of two who trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with my children, so function is important to me as is fashion (I’m the cool mom) in class. These shorts are comfortable, stylish and functional for a cool summer. I’ve trained for a Jiu Jitsu competition so I have lost some weight and these still fit very well, although they do have belt loops so if you need a tighter fit that is an option. One thing I felt was an issue is they do fit loose around your thighs so try them on, squat and move around before leaving your house to determine what your outfit with them will be. The material washes well, I accidentally over sprayed some mosquito spray onto the shorts and they stained. I was concerned it would be permanent, but one quick wash and the stains came right out.
