Women's Side-Pocket Polyester-Blend Gym Shorts

Find shorts that suit your coverage and movement

A workout outfit feels more useful when it can keep a small essential close. These women's gym shorts combine side pockets with a high-waist specification and a close-fitting photographed leg. Polyester and elastane are the listed fibres. The solid colour keeps the look uncomplicated, whether you match the shorts to an existing top or use them as a contrasting base.

Details for your selection

Select S, M, L or XL. The unlabelled reference figures are S 62, M 68, L 73 and XL 77cm; confirm their meaning before using them as body measurements. Thirteen colours are selectable, including Electric Blue, Green, Red, Watermelon Red, Army Green, Big Red, Gray, Navy, Black, Blue, Coral Pink, Violet and Coffee.

Compare the pocket opening with the item you intend to carry, and avoid assuming a pictured phone proves a secure fit for every device. Choose enough ease around the thigh for your movements, then check that the waistband feels comfortable while sitting and bending.

Choose coverage for your routine

Shorts can look similar in a still photograph yet feel very different when you move. Compare the rise, hip, leg opening and inseam with a pair you already wear comfortably. Check whether you want a close biker-style leg or a shorter outline, and use a labelled chart rather than choosing only by the size letter. An unlabelled reference figure is not enough to establish a waist circumference or a garment length.

Make the fit work in motion

When checking your fit, sit down, bend and take a few steps instead of judging only the standing silhouette. The waistband should feel comfortable for your preferred activity, and the leg opening should give the coverage you want without relying on an assumed shaping effect. Fabric stretch does not establish a tested compression level. Where opacity matters, assess it with your intended underwear and under the lighting in which you will wear the shorts.

Build a practical outfit

A simple training top makes a fitted short easy to coordinate, while a longer tee changes the proportion and gives more coverage. Choose footwear for the activity rather than the model's styling. If the design has no usable storage, plan a separate place for essentials; if it has pockets, check their dimensions and security. Follow the garment care label and avoid assuming that sports styling guarantees sweat management, chafe prevention or a measured performance result.
