Shorts - YouLookFab Forum

So summer finally arrived in Seattle. I'm starting physical therapy and I need shorts. But I'd like to have some cross-over to real-life, such as it is.
There's not a whole lot out there I like, maybe I'm being picky, or maybe the supply chains disruption due to COVID-19 are limiting stock. I'm particularly disappointed in Nordstorm. Athleta is boring.
So I'm considering bike shorts & baggy sweat shorts. They don't need to be hardcore athletic stuff, because my PT is very wimpy
I wanted paper bag waist denim shorts for a while, but I'm not sure I should now due to honestly still not going anywhere. I don't want cut-offs, I have some, but I'm over them.
No finds, as I'm at work.
Here's some things I've found, but it's been hard. Open to suggestions, need size 14-16, XL ish

I saw those Adam Selman sweatshorts on Urban Outfitters site. They have them in white in sizes L and XL. Nice shorts!

Maybe two pairs? A black with no pockets and a more exciting pair?

Body conforming shorts are the way to go for your physio, and I like what you’ve posted. One pair of basic black, and one pair that’s fun. Sorry, no suggestions at the moment.

Yes I probably agree with two pairs of bike shorts - one black and one patterned. You will wear them in multiple ways. Great with a hoodie or sweatshirt jacket.

I am very boring with shorts but I did wear these black ones a lot. nZ brand though.

FWIW, I did a lot of PT with a therapist pre pandemic and wore yoga leggings. I do PT most days at home and wear the same yoga leggings. It’s all about exercise, massage and the right motion on my back and sciatic nerve down my left leg. The coverage of the leggings is extremely comfortable. The tight fit of the leggings is dead right for the exercises. I’m not sure shorts are better - unless you were told to wear shorts?

All cute shorts though!

I like the bike shorts you've found! Especially the ones with the stars down the legs, but all of them look cool and fun. I think this style would be the most adaptive to PT, too.

And now I want those print Adidas shorts for cycling!

I made the mistake of wearing a pair of loose-fitting shorts to PT last summer, and the gaped. From then on, I stuck to 9-11" bike shorts.

Angie, I pretty much wore only leggings for most of the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, and I'm very tired of them.

OKAY! I get it.

Onto fun cycling shorts.

If anyone can wear the new/90’s cycling short look with aplomb , it’s you . What are you waiting for ??

There is some brand I’ve started following on INstagram that has cool cycling shorts . I’ll go find it and link to it . Might be Cdn though .

Whelp, Day Won's warehouse is closed.
I think I can get a discount at Adidas.
So I ordered the cinnamon short suit from Adam Selman Sport, I like the white, but don't trust myself.
Luckily today’s pay check included some overtime

Thanks

daubanddesign.com......made in Vancouver, and has some cute tie-dyed bike shorts. Sizes to XL, but no idea how this line fits.

I'm getting a lot of milage out of my very basic 3 stripe Adidas bike shorts that are not skin tight so very comfy and easy to wear.

I like the idea of the fitted biker shorts for PT, , but if you wanted something that crosses over also, I recently got a pair of the Athleta cotton Bermuda shorts. ( Farallon?). Not yoga- biker, but pretty straight, and comfortable fabric.
Will see how they do over time.

I'm glad you got the short suit. That cinnamon color is great. You'll definitely look cuter than I did at PT! I was feeling bad and wore my baggy sad-gal sweats the whole time, ugh.

A good choice!

Not necessarily for PT but faux leather bikers?

They also have a culotte style. https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/t.....ts/5625446

They say the 14 fits like 16-18.
