Recommend your running shorts!

[shorewife]

I have the WORST time finding running shorts I like. I like a longer inseam (4 or 5") and a more semi-fitted style rather than cycling or compression style. Any suggestions?

Lululemon All Sport shorts are my all-time favorite. But they don't make them anymore. A very close second is their Turbo shorts. Nike Tempos give me diaper butt, although they are comfortable and not too revealing.

Athleta has some that meet your criteria. I saw them in the recent catalog. They're around $40 though.

Target has some new shorts that have 2 layers - a tighter compression-style short underneath (with a longer inseam) and then a mesh-type short on top for coverage. I got a pair to try them out, and they seem pretty good so far. They were $17.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mountain Hardwear Pacer running shorts. They are super stretchy and have a slim fit (not "fluffy" like Nike Tempos). They have awesome pockets too!

ETA: This is what they look like on. The picture is hella big if I post it, so just a link.

The waistband on those looks amazingly comfortable! That's one of the reasons I love my LLLs. Similar looking top.

It is amazingly comfortable. They fit great at my skinniest weights and was still able to wear them in my last days of pregnancy. No muffin top anywhere along the spectrum.

I am in love (obsessed) with these lululemon shorts:
shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/women-shorts/Run-Tracker-Short-II?cc=4799&skuId=3449509&catId=women-shorts
The way they fit around my legs, where the band sits and the way it hits my hips, the zipper pocket, they are the most comfortable flattering shorts ever. They would have to be, because I die a little each time I buy a pair. They're not cheap.

I like my Nike Tempo shorts - they are longer and aren't as fitted but like grk2012 said they do give you diaper butt

These are great suggestions - thank you!

I second the LLL turbo run shorts and the Run Track as well although the turbo are my all time favorite. I also tried the Nike Tempo and my ass grew two sizes in the back. Not flattering at all. I posted a couple of pics of the turbo shirts in my blog (in siggy) if you're interested.

Yeah, I should have ditto'd the Turbos rec. They're a really close 2nd for me. The pair I have is probably a size too big, when I tried on a size smaller, they were almost a tie to the Track shorts. Love them both.
