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

Nice light material and great (but not overly short) length shorts for my active 8 year old. She loves them and wants to wear them all the time. Also she dropped some raspberry juice on them the other day and I was worried since they are very light blue, but they came out perfect in the wash.

Truthfully these shorts were purchased for my adult daughter. She's very tall (5'10") and slim (size 2-4) and she can wear the XXL size in these shorts. She loves the pockets and the length. #sweepstakes
