Today, I want to talk about the quest to find the best athletic shorts for women over 50. I can not stand shorts that ride up! Whether you’re out for a quick walk, doing yoga, or just running errands, the right shorts can make ALL the difference. As we get older, it’s crucial to find shorts that are comfy, stylish, and fit just right. I’ll share some tips and picks to help you stay active and feel fabulous. Let’s dive in and find those perfect athletic shorts together!

Comfort is KEY. Look for shorts with soft, stretchy fabric that moves with you. They should feel good against your skin and not cause irritation, like these fantastic Old Navy High-Waisted PowerSoft Side-Pocket Biker Shorts.

These shorts are made with super soft, stretchy fabric that feels great and moves with you. The high-waisted design offers a bit of extra support, and the side pockets are perfect for keeping your phone or keys handy. Plus, they come in a variety of colors, so you can mix and match them with your favorite workout tops!

I’m guessing that the first shorts might be a little too SHORT for some, lol. Here’s a longer option the Willit Women’s 7″ Athletic Running Shorts. They have a high-waisted design that gives great tummy support (YAY!) and a snug fit. The breathable, moisture-wicking fabric is designed to keep you cool and dry, even during intense workouts. Of course, they are available in a ton of colors.

These shorts offer even more coverage, and they are perfect for those who prefer a bit more modesty. When shopping, look for a fit that isn’t too tight or too loose. You want shorts that stay in place without riding up or falling down during movement. These wide waistbands are great for helping find the right fit. Available in 18 colors!

Walmart always has great, affordable options! These come three to a pack and would be great for just about anything – running, yoga, biking, or even wearing under a short skirt on a windy day, lol. The fabric is super soft and stretchy, allowing for maximum movement and comfort. Plus, the two side pockets are perfect for keeping your phone or keys close by while you work out!

Check out the Cadmus 2-in-1 Women’s Workout Shorts. Like the ones before, these shorts come in a convenient 3-pack, perfect for stocking up! The 2-in-1 design features an outer layer for a loose fit and an inner layer for extra support and coverage. These are also moisture-wicking and quick-drying. If you prefer a looser fit, size up!

How soft do these Puma Women’s High-Rise Shorts look? LOVE. These shorts are made from super soft French terry fabric, making them incredibly comfy for lounging or light workouts. The high-rise design is very flattering. I like the pink a lot, but they also come in white, black, and light blue. They have a 5 inch inseam and are matching washable. Comfy and convenient!

Hit the pavement in style and comfort with these High-Rise Running Shorts. These shorts pull on easily with an elastic waistband and have a built-in stash pocket and liner. Available in multiple colors and sizes, they’re perfect for any activity and are created exclusively for Macy’s. Plus, with a 100% positive review rate, you can’t go wrong with these stylish and functional shorts!

I’m a big fan of Athleta clothing. I like anything COMFY and COZY. These shorts are both! They are made from a smooth, cool-to-the-touch fabric that feels peachy soft and provides lightweight warmth. Perfect for errands, exercise, and travel, they come with an adjustable drawcord at the waistband for a custom fit.

The fabric is breathable and wicks away sweat, a must have. Available in beautiful colors like Smoky Rose and Olive Branch, these shorts are a stylish and functional addition to your wardrobe!

Finally, here’s something a little different. These parachute shorts are made with recycled nylon, meaning they are durable AND environmentally friendly. They also wick away sweat and are fast-drying—yes! Thanks to the lightweight, tear-resistant fabric, I think they would be great for hiking, climbing, and exploring. They even have an adjustable bungee for a custom fit. They are available in versatile colors like Scout and Olive Branch.
