Yoga Shorts, Faux Two-Piece, Side Pocket

Two jobs, one piece: a short that moves like running gear and still looks considered enough for the studio, the school run and the coffee stop afterwards.

A softly draped outer layer falls over a fitted inner short, so the shape stays clean while you move. The waistband sits at the natural waist and stays flat under a crop top, and the fabric is light enough to forget you are wearing it on a warm day.

Why you will love it

• Two layers, one easy piece. The faux two-piece construction gives you the look of a short layered over a liner without a second garment to adjust, tuck or think about mid-workout.
• Your phone stays put. A deep side pocket takes a phone, a key or a card and sits flat against the hip, so nothing swings or bounces when you pick up the pace.
• Nothing shows through. The built-in brief and the dense knit keep you covered through squats, lunges and deep stretches, with no read-through in daylight.
• Barely-there weight. The shell is light and quick to dry, so it stays comfortable in heat and packs down small in a gym bag or a weekend case.

The details

Fabric and construction

The shell is a 94% polyester, 6% spandex knit: polyester for a smooth, fast-drying face that resists creasing, spandex for the give that lets the short follow a lunge or a sprint without pulling at the seam. The inner brief uses a soft spandex-blend lining so the part that sits closest to the skin stays smooth rather than scratchy.

Seams are flat-stitched and kept away from the inner thigh, and the overlay is cut with a little extra volume at the hip so it drapes instead of clinging. Pieces are cut and sewn by hand, so slight variation of 1 to 2 cm between pieces is normal for knitwear and not a fault.

Fit and sizing

This style runs true to standard US sizing. Choose your usual size for the intended relaxed fit through the leg; the elastic waistband has enough give to sit comfortably without digging in. If you are between two sizes and prefer a closer fit, size down for a trimmer line through the hip.

Because the inner short is fitted while the outer layer is loose, the two layers move independently. Try a short walk and a few squats after trying them on: the waistband should stay level at the natural waist and the outer layer should fall back into place on its own.

Questions

Will the inner short ride up when I run?

The built-in brief is cut close to the body with a stretch knit that holds its shape, and the outer layer is free to move over it. Most runners find it stays in place for steady runs and intervals; if you are between sizes, a closer fit through the waist reduces movement.

Is the fabric really opaque?

The knit is dense and opaque in normal wear, which is why the short works for squats and stretching. As with any light-coloured stretch fabric, extreme stretch in direct sunlight is the one situation where a lighter colour shows more than a darker one.

Does the side pocket hold a large phone?

Yes. The pocket is cut deep enough to take a standard large phone and sits flat against the hip. It is a single pocket, positioned on the side seam so the phone rests against the leg rather than swinging.

Can I wear these outside the gym?

That is the point of the faux two-piece design. The overlay gives the short a finished, almost skort-like line, so it works with a tank for training and with a tee or an oversized shirt for errands, travel and warm-weather weekends.
