The Story Behind the Style: New Spandos!
Since their launch in 2016, Spandos have celebrated the bold and the beautiful; the fun and the fierce. And while it’s true the prints lead the way, the secret sauce of Spandos is in the fabric. Made from an ultra-premium compression knit that is known for preventing sheerness, our Plya™ Interlock is one of a kind.
So what’s new in 2018? Just some small updates that improve fit, and an expanded collection!
A NEW SPANDOS SPORTS BRA
Designed with the same silhouette as our super popular She-Roes Sports Bra, the Spandos Racerback Bra is a simple style – but packs a lot of punch in terms of support and compression. The +20% spandex in the body fabric makes it ideal for running – up to a C Cup, and great for low impact beyond that. Same as all of our Spandos, the product information is sublimated right onto the garment so there are no tags or flags or moving parts.
UPDATED SHORTS
Spandos Mini Shorts: We kept the short shorts with the 2” inseam, but we reduced the height of the rise, both front and back, as we found that it prevents the legs from riding up.
- Shorts rise front: 8" (front rise of Spandos Capri is 9")
- Short rise back: 13" (back rise of Spandos Capris is 14.5')
- Inseam: 2"
Spandos Shorts: We created Spandos Shorts with a longer inseam for more leg coverage. In tandem with the Spandos Mini, the front and rear rises have been reduced slightly to prevent the legs from riding up.
- Shorts rise front: 8" (front rise of capris is 9")
- Short rise back: 13" (back rise of capris is 14.5')
- Inseam: 4"
Spandos Capris: Back by popular demand and 100% unchanged. Enjoy!
Our newest print, the Downtown Print – commissioned exclusively for Oiselle – is one part paintbrush, one part city lights, all parts vibrant color. We love how one piece of Spandos in this print can be worn with almost any color under the sun (or stars or moon).

Core Routine For Runners: The Dozen
I was introduced to the "The Dozen" in the winter of 2012 by my favorite Oregon running family. I love this set of core exercises for its efficient targeting of core muscle groups, and because no gym equipment is required! You can do this on a grass field, in your hotel room, or really anywhere you can lay on a flat surface.
Reflecting on the Year of the Underbird
This past August, we launched our Year of the Underbird program: an open application for aspiring Olympic Trials marathoners, with a promise to select 5 women for a 6 month contract encompassing a stipend, gear, storytelling, and community support. As we reach the end of our flight with our selected athletes, we invited each of them to share a few reflections on their past 6 months as teammates.
Black History Month: Celebrating Our Athletes
We are honored to support five exceptional Black women athletes challenging norms in the running industry: athletes, advocates, and powerful voices in the sport. We invited each of them to reflect on their journeys through sport: how their identity has affected their development, and how they hope to impact the rising generation of athletes.
