Exceptional comfort and style!

I recently purchased a pair of Athleta Girl Go With the Flow shorts for my 11year-old granddaughter, and she couldn't be happier with them! The fabric is incredibly soft and lightweight, perfect for her active lifestyle. Whether she's at pole vaulting practice or simply playing outside, these short...s provide exceptional comfort and flexibility. The fit is true to size and the elastic waistband ensures they stay in place without any hassle. We highly recommend the Athleta Girl Go With the Flow shorts for any active young girl!

Not for us

The waist of a size 14 fit for us, but the shorts were way to short and kept riding up, so we tried size 16, but the waist of that one kept falling down, and when tightened it only wrinkled up. Maybe for someone with a larger waist/hip size, but definitely not us.

Comments about Athleta Girl Run Free 2.5"" Short

The lightweight material is a breathable dream in summer temps and unconstricting to the strides of youth and speed on the run. Solid colors make it easy to match with any top and elastic waist allow for growth past 1 season. A summer wardrobe essential!

This is my daughter favorite shorts to wear during the summer. She doesn't like tight shorts so these are perfect. She loves how it doesn't stick to her legs and it matches with any top she puts on! #sweepstakes

Comments about Athleta Girl Run Free 2.5"" Short

These are great but they run HUGE- my 15 year old prefers the girl vs womens as the xxs is to tight and the xs is to big - she hates the high waste but she has outgrown girls xl and xxl is to baggy - she can wear a 12 in these - thats a large. Crazy huge - they are not tight either
