I LOVE these shorts! I am not normally a shorty-shorts kind of a gal. I never get the mac rogas, always the regular length. But these shorts spoke to me. They looked so sleek and beautiful. Turns out that in real life, they ARE! Like the description says, they are short! But they are so light and smooth and comfortable. I have worn them running several times up to 7 miles (they do ride a bit but they are already short, so they didn't do any weird bunching, just kind of got a wee bit shorter...). I also took the advice of the description and wore them as a bathing suit bottom (with the Lesko bird bra and several people asked where I got the cute bathing suit, ha.) And, shown here, I took them for a spin paddling boarding. I am in love with the rising sun color. Nice job with these shorts, Oiselle! You really know how to make a bum look nice. :)
