    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.

    My 9 year old loves these shorts! They're cute and comfortable. She is tall and thin so the S (7) actually fits her better than the M (8-10).

    Comments about Athleta Girl Run Free 2.5"" Short

    I loved the fabric and the colour was exactly the same as in the picture. The only thing was that they were quite baggy, and stuck out a little bit on the sides. I'm small and was expecting more of the lululemon shape (even if they're a but longer), but for sports or whatever, they're probably great for other people

    Very comfortable and stylish! My daughter loves these shorts. It's hard to find shorts she likes so I bought these in a few colors!
