Even in the midst of the summer season, we can't seem to let go of our trusty full-length black leggings [1]. Running shorts [2] seem to desperately cling to our legs and bunch up in all the wrong places. However, it's hard to deny their practical benefits, namely ventilation and a remedy for heatstroke. As temperatures rise, we've got to consider some other options.
We've rounded up some curve-friendly workout shorts [3] that don't suck. They're tight in the right places and loose in the right places. If you've got a fuller bottom, these 10 shorts were made for you. They're so cute, you might just ditch your leggings, if only for the summer.
