I thought these would be more like boy shorts, but they're pretty flared at the bottom.  I wear these to lift weights in or on race day over my suit before & after the race.  Very cute and I've gotten many compliments on them.  I don't think I'd run in them - the ride up too much and I like my shorts staying put around or below my hips.

Fits great, slight flair to the leg, giving just enough room to move without it being fitted.  Like the short very much. Color adds just enough flash!
