Running Bottoms

I run in either leggings or shorts - I’ve never been a joggers type of person, though if I find a pair that I like, I’ll be sure to link them here. I’ve broken down my favourite running bottoms by season below.

LEGGINGS

Honestly, I’m not picky with leggings as long as they don’t fall down. Lululemon and Alo high rise leggings are my preferred brands, but I will say Lululemon fits my legs best. For the depths of winter, fleece-lined leggings make a huge difference. Athleta (by GAP) seems to be the best brand for fleece-lined leggings, according to Tree Line Review.

SHORTS

This is where things get tricky. The right pair of shorts make all the difference - things can get uncomfortable, especially when you’re in it for the long run! You need breathable fabric to avoid itchiness and chafing. My personal favourites are the Lululemon Hotty Hot 4” high rise running shorts. There’s so much leg room, and they look so flattering! Plus, the 4” length means no thigh chafe (which, if you haven’t experienced it, is really painful and uncomfortable and makes it very difficult to wear jeans).
