LET'S TAKE a moment to reminisce all those wardrobe malfunctions you’ve encountered, you know, down there. For a regular gym goer or outdoors person such as yourself, those episodes are no stranger: when your tight gym shorts decided to wage a chafing war on your thighs out of nowhere while you were stair-stepping or squatting, or when your skin suddenly felt the clammy ick of those fresh-off-the-training sweat shorts, or when you simply couldn’t avoid swamp crotch every time you sweated buckets… Mortifying, right?
Fortunately, you’re not doomed, and neither is your shorts rotation. After testing out a slew of athletic shorts from a dozen of athleisure brands, we conclude that Vuori’s Kore Short will be the one to swoop in and save your day. We first sought these shorts out after seeing Harry Styles wearing them as part of his fall fits, and then Glen Powell filming his rom-com in them recently. Upon closer examination, we found these $68 athletic shorts are hands down the most versatile pair out there, with a smooth-like-butter high-performance fabric, a fit that actually flatters your beefy quads, and a boxer-brief liner that's by far the most comfortable we've ever tested.
