The Athleta Fusion Short is the cuter, more flattering of the two. It has the perfect mixture of stretch and hold, and the legs are semifitted—proving that shorts don’t need to be plastered to your skin to stay put. The material moves with you, breathes well, and is antimicrobial to boot. The cut is flattering, with a wide waistband and cute back pockets to add a little flair.
The comfy Lucy Swift Knee Short comes down right above the knee (hence the name)—and stays there. There’s a kicky little vent at the back of each knee and a small zippered pocket on the back waistband to hold a key or a few bucks—both nifty little extras. Like the Athleta shorts, these have just enough Lycra to give them light shape, plus they breathe and wick well. The only drawback is that the elastic-waist style isn’t very forgiving for women with even a hint of a belly, so if that’s you, wear these with a slightly longer top. (But you know that trick already.)
