Between frequent playground play dates and all the spring sports practices, your girl is out there seizing the sunshine as best she can. This season, we're helping you help her live each day to its fullest — starting with spring essentials from Athleta Girl that are made for moving freely. From soft and stretchy shorts to playful and practical skorts, these pieces are designed with the active girl in mind. Think: buttery-soft fabrics and stay-put fits to keep up with all the ways she moves.
Pleats, Please
Your girl will quite literally be a ray of sunshine in this bright, cheerful getup. Whether she's actually playing tennis or just heading to school, the Pleat Perfect Skort is made from a performance fabric that's lightweight, stretchy, breathable, wrinkle-resistant, and rated UPF 50+ to withstand all her activities.
Shorts Story
We're calling it now: the Warm Up Midi Short will become her new closet hero. Between the playful color and embroidery, soft (and sustainable!) fabric, and comfy, relaxed fit, it's perfect to slip into for just about anything. She could match it with the coordinating sweatshirt for a uniform look, but a tie-dye hoodie keeps the good vibes coming.
Relaxed in Ruffles
For a more subtle take on the pleated tennis skort, the Swing Skort is sleek and lightweight with a just-right, stay-put fit. Good for play or practice, it's designed to keep up no matter how she moves, so she never has to think twice about what she's wearing. Bonus: she'll love the two hidden pockets.
To Dye For
Comfort, meet cute. For ultimate mobility, turn to the Run the World 3" Short. Your girl will come for the fun and eye-catching tie-dye pattern but stay for the light-as-air fabric, all-around stretch, and hidden pocket. A bright sweatshirt rounds out the mood-boosting look.
