Hey besties! Let me tell you about the shorts that’s been living in my gym bag and my everyday closet lately—Lululemon’s Pace Rival High-Rise 3” Short in Black (color code 0002)! I’ve tested so many active shorts, but this one? It checks every box I didn’t even know I had. Let’s dive into why it’s my new obsession, plus how I style it for literally every occasion 🖤
First off, the FIT is chef’s kiss. I’m 5’4”, 125lbs, and size 4 fits like a dream. The high-rise waist sits right at my natural waist—no slipping down when I’m doing yoga flows or sprinting for the bus. The 3-inch inseam is perfect: short enough to keep me cool in 85°F weather, but long enough to avoid any awkward thigh rub or “too short” moments. I have a curvy hips and a little muffin top, and these shorts smooth everything out without feeling tight. My friend who’s 5’7” and a size 2 borrowed them last week—she texted me later saying she needs her own pair. Total body-positive win!
Fabric-wise, Lululemon’s Everlux™ is a game-changer. It’s lightweight but thick enough to be opaque (no see-through disasters, thank god!). I wore these to a 45-minute HIIT class last Saturday—sweaty as hell, but the shorts stayed dry on the outside and didn’t stick to my legs. The moisture-wicking works so well, I forgot I was wearing activewear until I got home. The built-in liner is soft, not scratchy, and stays put—no riding up like my old $20 shorts from Target. I even wore them all day once: gym → grocery store → coffee with a friend. Zero discomfort, zero bunching.
Practical details? They’re chef’s kiss too. The side pockets are deep enough for my iPhone 14 (with a bulky case!) and a lip balm—no more shoving my phone in my sports bra. There’s a tiny hidden back pocket for my key, which is a lifesaver for early-morning runs when I don’t want to carry a bag. 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 talk STYLING—because activewear shouldn’t be just for the gym! Here’s how I rock these shorts:
💪 Gym Day: Pair with Lululemon’s Swiftly Tech Short-Sleeve (white or gray) + Nike Air Max sneakers. 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 Fleetwood Mac one!) into the shorts. Throw on an oversized denim jacket and white platform sneakers. I got three compliments last time I wore this—people thought I was going to a café, not coming from the gym!
🌿 Park Day: Layer a loose, flowy linen top over a sports bra + these shorts. Add strappy sandals and a woven tote bag for my book and sunscreen. Perfect for picnics or walking my dog—comfy and chic.
🍹 Casual Date Night: Wear a silky camisole (nude or black) + these shorts. Add ankle boots 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 two old pairs of shorts with these because they’re versatile, durable, and make me feel confident. If you’re tired of shorts that ride up, fade, or make you self-conscious, run to Lululemon and grab these. They’re my summer MVP, and I know they’ll be yours too!
