Flattering for the booty

I have not worn shorts in years, but I decided to give these a chance, as I wanted to buy something like this when I walk through regional parks in the morning. The shorts initially look very small, BUT, when I put them on they fit like a glove. They are very high waisted, flexible (much more than other types of Zella leggings because of the material). I love the color, and the ribbed look. I do not like shorts, but I am so happy I gave these a chance. I plan to wear with one of the Zella crop tops in a lime green, and white athletic shoes. My body type is athletic and I bought a size small (I am 5'3.5, 139 lbs).

Ribbed for whose pleasure?

This ribbed fabric is not a good idea for flattering coverage of your lady parts. It’s also uncomfortable. Ribbed for whose pleasure? I returned.

Nice shorts

Overall I really like these, they're very comfy and made out of nice thick material. One thing I didn't really like is that the band around the leg is tight

Versatile tights

These are comfortable bike shorts I’m wearing for power walking on hot evenings, but they provide enough thickness so that I’d wear them them to run errands at age 60. My only negative is that they make my flat butt look even smaller, but that’s a problem I have with any bottom without pockets. I think these could be worn for yoga also. I’m 5’5” and the tights come almost to my knee, so longer than on the model. I’m very happy with that length.

I love these! (a bit small though)

These are so comfortable and cute! They look exactly like the photos. I’m 5’4” 105 lbs and I ordered an XS. They are great for yoga or light exercise, but a bit too tight for lounge wear. I might order another pair a size up so I can have a pair to binge Netflix in too! Haha.

Comfortable and flattering

I run between size 6 and 8. Got this in a medium and find it comfortable, flattering. The snow wash dye, heft, vertical ribbing, and heft of the fabric hide folds and creases. The rear waistband pocket easily holds an iPhone 8 during upright activities, but be careful when going to the bathroom; phones can slip out! A side pocket would be great but might jeopardize the sleek line. I also have this in a bluish, Small size. Serves well, but the medium gives more breathing room

Run 1/2 Size big

So I bought these in a small and medium. I’m typically a medium in all Zella bottoms but they were sold out in medium at first. The small actually fit fine, a little snug but I definitely could have gotten away with them. I ended up going w medium even tho they definitely had more give than my other medium bottoms. Pocket in back holds iPhone X Plus. Love them!
