How to Choose the Right Running Shorts
While you can wear just about any pair of active shorts when running, there are definitely some advantages and reasons why you should wear shorts specifically designed for the activity.
Length of the shorts is an important factor, and many running short styles are shorter in length than other types of athletic shorts. This is because shorts with shorter lengths are less restrictive when it comes to movement, and also allow better airflow to keep you cool.
You’ll also want to look for shorts that are lightweight, and wick moisture away from your skin. Typically, running shorts that do this best are made from synthetic materials like polyester, as natural fibers absorb and retain moisture.
You’ll also want to be aware of running shorts that offer a V-notch or split leg. V-notch shorts feature an upside-down, V-shaped cutout on the side of the leg, while split leg shorts feature fabric that forms a V-shape, but the fabric itself is not sewn together. Both styles offer freedom of movement, but the split leg shorts will offer the most.
Other factors to consider when choosing running shorts include pockets, attached liners, reflective elements for visibility, and durability.
When you have your perfect pair of running shorts chosen, look for other must-haves including active tops, running shoes, and outerwear options to keep you on the trail in any conditions. Shop Kohl’s for all active essentials you need to set the tone for your workout wardrobe!
