Women's running shorts and tights

The right running bottoms change everything: less chafing, more freedom, and room to stash your phone, keys and gels. Our women's running shorts and tights — Brooks, Under Armour, Saucony, 2XU, Salomon and more — combine lightness, breathability and hold, from airy shorts to fitted compression shorts.

Short or compression short: how to choose?

The running short

Airy and light, often with an inner brief, it maximizes freedom of movement and ventilation. Ideal in hot weather and for anyone who prefers a relaxed cut.

The compression short

Fitted and close to the body, the compression short prevents inner-thigh chafing, stays put and lightly supports the muscles. A favourite for long distances, trail and hot-weather running. Many offer side pockets for your phone.

The 2-in-1 short

The best of both: an airy short with a built-in compression liner for comfort and anti-chafe, with no layering needed.

Choosing your running bottoms

Consider length (from short and sporty to a more covering mid-thigh), pockets (thigh side for your phone, waistband for gels) and rise (high-waisted for hold and tummy comfort). Look for technical sweat-wicking fabrics and flat seams to avoid irritation.

Questions fréquentes

What's the difference between a running short and a compression short?
The short is airy and loose, often with an inner brief. The compression short is fitted and close to the body: it prevents inner-thigh chafing, stays put and lightly supports the muscles — handy on long distances and in hot weather.
How do I avoid inner-thigh chafing while running?
A compression short or 2-in-1 short with a liner is the best solution: it creates a barrier that prevents skin-on-skin friction. If needed, add an anti-chafe product on sensitive areas.
What is a 2-in-1 short?
It's an airy short with a built-in compression liner. It combines the ventilation of a short with the anti-chafe comfort of a compression short, without layering two pieces.
Do women's running shorts have pockets?
Increasingly, yes. Look for a thigh side pocket for your phone (more stable on the run), a waistband pocket for keys, and sometimes mesh pockets for gels — especially on compression shorts.
High-waisted or regular rise?
High-waisted offers more hold, stays put and provides comfort at the tummy. It's become the most popular choice for running, but the key is a waistband that neither slips nor digs in.
How do I wash running shorts?
Cold water, inside out, no fabric softener (it clogs breathable fibres). Air dry: the dryer damages elastics and technical fabrics.
