Love these for casual wear
I bought these as running shorts but I've reserved them for casual wear. They are a flattering color that goes well with the current prevailing style, and they are trim and straight and look well made rather than athletic. Would they work as athletic shorts? Yep for sure, but it'd be a waste to keep these only for the gym.

Good shorts
Lightweight shorts, good fit/cut. The fabric is thin and seems like it is one layer. Not the greatest quality but good for the price. Material breathes well and is great for workouts. I do question durability but after a couple of washes, they’re still going strong.

Purchased several shirts, all were great quality. You never know what you’ll get when you purchase sight unseen, these are worth it. Great value, style, and comfort. Color is exactly what you see online. True to size.
