Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish can't get enough of sweat shorts – here are the pairs we'll be living in all summer



After what felt like the longest winter hibernation everrrrrr, we’re ready to get out again and – more specifically – get our legs out. We’re taking baby steps away from our lockdown joggers and tracksuits and are slipping into a pair of sweat shorts instead. Whether made from jersey or snuggly fleece, a pair of comfy cotton sweat shorts will make the spring style transition an easy one.

Just like our favourite WFH loungewear, the best women’s sweat shorts have all the elements of classic sweatpants that we’ve come to know and love over the past year. The shortened versions still have tie-waist details or elasticated waistbands and come in brushed cotton, plush jersey or loop-back french terry – all with softness at the fore.

If you’re searching for a new pair of sweat shorts, we particularly love Topshop’s quilted caramel version for a chic take on the trend and & Other Stories organic cotton shorts will give your best pyjamas a run for their money in the comfort stakes. Ganni’s adorable pastel shorts include organic cotton and recycled polyester for a completely sustainable fabric mix (if you’re ok with making an investment) and we’re more than slightly obsessed with the raw hem tie-dye shorts from Les Tien – proving the tie-dye trend will never die.

Any shorts made from organic cotton or recycled materials will go a little easier on the planet but if you really want to try the trend in a sustainable way, take a pair of scissors to your existing tracksuit for a cool customisation. The raw hem is a key way to wear your sweat shots for spring.

Want to know how to style your sweat shorts? Layer up like Billie Eilish in matching leggings or pick a tonal top, like Dua Lipa did last summer, and let pops of colour come from your underwear and accessories. Sweat shorts look pulled together if you team them with is a matching hoodie – with the hem tucked into your waistband – or wear them with a white t-shirt and sling a blazerover the top for a clever styling mix.
