I absolutely loved the colours of the shorts I bought and I loved the high waist, however the teal and orange are unfortunately not squat proof so only really can be worn for cardio and for upper body. The short shorts are also very small (I ordered a large) and reveal a lot of my legs making me feel quite self conscious. I’m only a size 12 but unfortunately I feel I could need a bigger size. They’re not my first choice of shorts to put on unfortunately however I would 100% try the leggings as I do feel they would not come with the same problems as they would cover my whole leg.
