Yoga Shorts, High-Waist Ribbed Waistband, Tummy Control

A short cut high on the waist, built on a wide ribbed band that holds the stomach flat and keeps the short exactly where you put it.

Why you will love it

• The waistband is wide and vertically ribbed, so it grips the lower stomach and stays in place through forward folds and seated twists instead of rolling down.
• A close, second-skin fit through the hip and thigh lifts and rounds the shape without compressing at the waist, which is what carries the short from the mat to the street.
• The knit moves sweat away from the skin and dries quickly, so the short stays comfortable through a hot class rather than clinging damp afterwards.
• A short leg that finishes high on the thigh keeps you free in lunges, squats and cycling, with a flat hem that does not dig in when you sit.

The details

Fabric and construction

The knit is 82.5% polyester with 17.5% spandex. The polyester face is what pulls moisture off the skin and lets it dry quickly, and the spandex share is what gives the short its four-way stretch and its recovery, so the leg returns to shape after a class instead of stretching out at the hem.

The waistband is knitted as a separate ribbed band and joined to the body with a flat, low-bulk seam, which is why the top edge holds its shape rather than curling. The body of the short is a smooth single-layer knit. Slight variation of 1 to 2 cm between pieces is normal for knitwear, and it is the reason two pairs in the same size can feel a touch different at first wear.

Fit and sizing

This style runs true to standard US sizing, so take the size you normally wear in leggings or shorts. It is a close fit by design, which is what keeps the short from riding up when you move; the waistband sits at the natural waist rather than at the hip.

If you are between two sizes, take the larger one: the knit has plenty of stretch, so the smaller size will still go on, but the larger size sits softer over the hip and keeps the ribbed band from digging in when you sit. If you prefer a relaxed short rather than a close one, size up a single step.

Care

• Cold machine wash with like colours, inside out.
• Do not bleach.
• Tumble dry low, or hang to dry to protect the stretch.
• Do not iron.
• Do not dry clean.

Questions

Is there a built-in brief or liner?

No. The short is a single layer with no built-in brief, so you wear it with your own underwear. That also makes it quicker to wash and dry than a lined short.

What is the waistband actually like?

It is a wide, vertically ribbed band knitted as its own piece and joined to the body with a flat seam. The ribbing is what gives it grip, so it holds the lower stomach flat and stays put through forward folds rather than folding over at the top.

Does the waistband stay flat when I bend or twist?

The band is set at the natural waist rather than at the hip, which is what keeps it in position through forward folds and seated twists. As with any knit band, how it holds also depends on fit, which is why we suggest sizing up rather than down if you are between sizes.

Can I wear them for running and gym sessions, not just yoga?

Yes. The knit is built to move sweat off the skin and dry quickly, and the close fit keeps the hem from riding up through running, cycling and floor work. The smooth, matte surface also means they read as a plain short rather than gym kit, so they work outside the studio too.
