I love these shorts!! I bought several pairs after I tried on the first - that is how much I love these. I have been searching for a pair of fold over waist running shorts forever, but I could never find any that provided the level of tummy control and comfort that I wanted. They either had a rubber band like material or had an uncomfortable elastic that was unflattering when worn. Not these! The high waist part of the shorts is made of a nice comfortable cotton-like material that you can either keep all the way up or fold over, kind of like how yoga pants used to be made. I like this feature because even though these are short, you can adjust them to be a little bit longer based on how far up you wear the waistband. These would be so, so flattering, even for curvy girls. Get them while you can!
