Okay, so I’ve been on the hunt for some comfy, but still kinda cute, shorts for summer. I kept seeing “Russell” pop up, and I was like, “Aren’t those, like, athletic athletic?” But I was curious, so I started digging.

My “Russell Shorts Womens” Deep Dive
First, I checked out a bunch of different stores online. Just to see the variety, you know?
Then, I started reading reviews. Gotta know what real people think, right? Some people were all about how great they were for working out, super breathable and all that. Others were talking about wearing them for just, like, everyday stuff. Running errands, chilling at home. That got me thinking…
I decided to just order a couple of pairs. One basic black, one maybe a little more fun, just to test the waters. When they arrived, I tried them on immediately, of course.
- First impression: Super soft! Way softer than I expected.
- Fit: Pretty true to size. I went with my usual size and they were comfy, not too tight, not too baggy.
- Look: Honestly, cuter than I thought! The black ones could definitely pass for regular shorts, not just gym shorts.
I wore the black ones out to the grocery store, paired with a simple t-shirt. Felt totally fine, not like I was in my workout clothes. Then, I used the other pair for an actual workout – a quick jog in the park. They were great! No chafing, stayed in place, wicked away sweat like they’re supposed to.
So, my overall verdict? These Russell shorts are way more versatile than I initially thought. I’m definitely going to be wearing them a lot, both for workouts and just everyday life. I might even grab another pair or two!
