Guys, I’ve been on a mission to find the perfect active shorts for summer—and I finally hit the jackpot with Lululemon’s Speed-Up Short HR Long in classic Black (color code 0001)! Let me spill why this pair has been glued to my body lately, plus how I style it for EVERY occasion 🖤
First, let’s talk FIT—because let’s be real, bad-fitting shorts ruin every workout. I’m 5’6”, 130lbs, and size 6 fits me like a glove. The high-rise waist sits right at my natural waist, no slipping down when I’m doing burpees or running miles. And the “Long” part? 4-inch inseam is chef’s kiss—covers the tops of my thighs (goodbye, awkward chafing!) but still keeps me cool when it’s 90°F outside. I have a little hip dip and always struggle with shorts that bunch there, but these hug my curves in all the right places. My friend who’s petite (5’2”) and my roommate who’s athletic (5’8”) both borrowed them—they looked fire on both!
Fabric-wise? Luxtreme™ is a GAME-CHANGER. It’s thick enough to feel durable (no see-through mess!) but lightweight enough to move with me. I wore these to a 6 AM spin class last week—sweaty AF, but the shorts didn’t stick to my legs at all. Moisture-wicking works so well, I forgot I was wearing activewear until I got home. And the built-in liner? Soft, not scratchy, and stays put (no riding up like my old shorts!). I even wore them all day once—from gym to grocery store to dinner—and never felt uncomfortable.
Practical details? They checked every box. Side pockets deep enough for my iPhone 15 (with a case!) + lip balm—no more shoving my phone in my sports bra. There’s a tiny hidden back pocket too—perfect for my key when I go for solo runs. And washing? Toss in cold water, tumble dry low, and they still look brand new. No pilling, no fading—black stays rich, even after 10+ washes.
Now, let’s get to STYLING—because activewear shouldn’t be just for the gym! Here’s how I rock these:
💪 Gym Day: Pair with Lululemon’s Align Tank (white or gray) + Nike Air Force 1s. Add a baseball cap and my favorite water bottle—sporty, cute, and ready to sweat.
☕ Brunch Run: Tuck a cropped graphic tee (mine’s a vintage Taylor Swift one!) into the shorts. Throw on a denim jacket (oversized, of course) and white platform sneakers. Got so many compliments last time I wore this—people thought I was going to a café, not coming from the gym!
🌿 Hike Day: Layer a long-sleeve moisture-wicking top over a sports bra (for sun protection) + these shorts. Pair with hiking boots and a crossbody bag for snacks. The fabric held up on rocky trails—no snags, no tears.
🍹 Date Night (Casual!): Wear a silky camisole (black or nude) + these shorts. Add strappy sandals and a small clutch. My boyfriend said I looked “effortlessly cool”—win!
At $88 CAD, they’re an investment, but trust me—worth every penny. I’ve replaced 3 old shorts with these because they’re versatile, durable, and make me feel confident. If you’re tired of shorts that suck (we’ve all been there), run to Lululemon and grab these. They’re my summer MVP, and I know they’ll be yours too!
