Looks great, size up

These are a great staple compressive short! The look is sleek, the inseam is a perfect length, and the reflective details are a nice touch. I ordered my usual XS (5'1" and 115lbs) and then got a small just in case. The XS was too tight on the waist, so I would size up from your usual size. The botto...

Thread around bottom hem was too tight. Does not look flattering. Ordered medium.

Great fit. It has some ribbing at the rim on the leg opening so the short won't go up while you're moving

Buttery soft but still holds everything in. The other Athleta bottoms fit true to size but these feel more snug. I should've sized up.
