    Love these shorts. I've been wearing Nike tempo shorts and I hate how poofy they are. Tempos aren't the most flattering anyway. I usually wear a small in every day clothes but I always go up a size in workout shorts and shirts so nothing is too tight. Medium fit perfectly, a little loose in the waist but not in a way that chafes. Very flattering, and perfect length. Definitely recommend!

    I used the size guide provided and was way off on my purchase. These run really small. I sold them off to a friend that is smaller than me, and she liked them. Keep in mind they have 2 outside pockets and no inside one, so you will need another place for your keys. I liked the wide band at the top that can be folded over for some pop of color. I will be ordering these again in the larger size. I normally wear a M (size 6) and will need at least a L, if not XL. Very light weight and wider leg openings make it easy for running. This is a very short short as well, so if you wanted something to cover up, this is not the short for you.

    This shorts are fun, but they run super small. I am typically a small, but even my medium seems to be tigter than normal. I like the detail on them. They are retro, but still really stylish.

    Comments about Versatile 3.5" Low Rise Woven:

    I read another review before purchasing my pair that said they run small. So I got one size bigger than I would normally have and they fit great. I wish the sizing was more accurate. But the shorts are adorable and comfortable. I love the thick waist band!

      Comments about Versatile 3.5" Low Rise Woven:

      I ordered several different pairs of shorts from Brooks and this was the only one I liked. I am 5'7", 123 lbs. I find that a lot of running shorts are baggy and unflattering. The Brooks Versatile Low-Rise 3.5" is just perfect. You won't get that diaper effect in the front. I went with an extra small and they fit a bit more snug in the waist than my other name-brand running shorts, but I find the Brooks shorts to be more attractive and very comfortable. I tested them on a 12 mile run and they were just great! Just the right length too. I love the dark grey and I will definitely be buying these shorts in other colors. I wish Brooks offered them in a green color!

          They do run a bit small but I still ordered the same size (S). Medium might sag in other places that irritate me in other shorts so the small is fine, just a little snug across the bum. They are wonderfully lightweight. The inner lining disappoints and the elastic will only last for the season! But overall (and for the price) great shorts!

              Comments about Versatile 3.5" Low Rise Woven:

              I was driving a LONG way by myself and just at that point of exhaustion and hunger, I had to stop and get food and shop a little bit. I found these shorts in the pink color and went ahead and bought them (I was at a business meeting that morning and had to drive 14 hours to the beach afterwards). They were comfy and breathable for a long and hot drive. The color made me happy, even the little pockets. I have only ran in them a few times since getting them. I only wear them on shorter distances because the pockets do not have a zipper or velcro to keep things from escaping.

                I love these shorts. They are great for running, especially now during the summer. There are a variety of colors. I have the regular woven 3.5" shorts as well; I like them a lot too. These are short, (but not like spandex "short" shorts), but Brooks also has shorts that are 5". I usually size up in Brooks apparel.
