Gym shorts are designed to be comfortable, functional and breathable which makes them a go-to for any occasion where the goal is comfort.

They are also perfect for summer and warm weathers in general. Because they are made from materials like cotton, nylon or polyester which are lightweight and breathable, they keep you dry and cool even when it’s a sunny day.

Most are also loose fitted so they allow movement with little to zero restrictions and make you feel at ease no matter the occasion.

Effortless Style
