How to choose the right athletic shorts for you this summer

There are garments that just work. You put them on, you move and you don't have to think about them anymore. That's exactly what happens when you find the right length shorts.

Because not all shorts convey the same thing. Some look for total freedom. Others prioritize support. Still others mix technical performance and comfort to accompany you on more intense workouts.

This summer at BORN we want to put the focus on short sets and how the fit completely changes the feel of a garment. From lightweight shorts to bikers to 2-in-1 formats, each design has a different intention.

And yes, a few centimeters do make a difference.

The measurements correspond to size S. The scaling for the rest of sizes is +1 cm in length.

Short shorts: lightweight feel and total freedom

33 - 36 cm shorts

Short shorts are probably the most versatile shorts of the summer. They have that perfect balance between comfort, coolness and sporty aesthetics.

They are lightweight, flattering and allow more freedom of movement, something that is especially noticeable in dynamic workouts, hot days or simply when you want to feel comfortable without extra layers.

In addition, they visually create a cleaner, more minimalist look, very much in line with the coordinated sets that dominate this season.

The best of this feature

Short shorts are that kind of garment that ends up entering in all summer plans. Gym, walk, trip, coffee after training or simply hot days where the only thing you want is to feel comfortable.

Biker: the fit that redefines comfort

Shorts 37 - 40 cm

If short shorts speak of freedom, biker shorts speak of safety.

The biker fits the body without being uncomfortable. It supports, accompanies the movement and provides that feeling of "everything is in place" that makes many do not want to wear anything else.

It's no coincidence that they've become a staple in and out of training. They work just as well in a strength session as they do paired with an oversized sweatshirt for a much more urban look.

Why they are still trending

There's something about the biker that hooks you: you forget about it while you're wearing it. And that, in sportswear, is everything.

The 2-in-1 shorts are designed for those who move a lot and need a responsive garment.

The combination of a close-fitting inner layer and lightweight outer layer provides a much more technical feel, especially for running, HIIT or high-intensity workouts.

They are light, comfortable and practical. And once you get that extra sense of security, it's hard to go back.
