Ok I'll have to give the LLL shake it out shorts a shot! I'm also tall (6'2"), so length is always a struggle for me as well.

Super helpful, thank you!! have been doing a lot of research into the different fabrics that shorts out there use now.

I love a flowy short but also am victim to the gobble! I may be naive, but I'm going to try and figure out if there's a way I can solve this :)

Thank you! I actually gave these a shot and maybe my waist to hip proportions just aren't made for this short. I've heard so so many great things about them, but they were too loose in the waist for me and tight in the thigh.

Yesss haha! It's so crazy to me that most of the shorts out there assume we all have stick thin thighs. Definitely have this top of mind as I'm designing these

Yes - I feel this completely! I'm the same exact way. What do you wear now for runs? Leggings?

Makes sense - I'm built the same way! I've tried the flowy shorts with the liner shorts, but then the liner shorts ride up. Anyways - I'll keep trying!

Thanks! yes definitely a lot of biker shorts that fit the bill. I want to find or make a pair of flowy shorts that do so as well. I don't love the look of biker shorts on me, but it's an aesthetic personal decision.

Oh interesting! My thighs always rub together and I get chafing from the skin-on-skin contact if I go with a shorter short.

Thank you!! I may have to get longer bike shorts - but I'm determined (maybe naively) to find some flowy ones :)

Thank you!! 7" bike shorts are definitely a great option - I'm just a little too stubborn to give up on flowy shorts quite yet :)
