I need something shorter when it’s hot. I have some Ronhill strides, they are the same sort of material as capris but just go halfway down the thigh. Otherwise I use shorts with a built in short legged pant.

Ive just bought some shorts, yikes! But they are like leggings to a bit above the knee.. Then loose shorts over the top. Ladies ones. Not tried them yet tho.

Decathlon capris are great! I have some with a zip pocket in thigh.

Forgive my ignorance but Is decathlon the brand or a shop? I’ve googled but can’t find them. 🤪

Hi! It’s a big sports shop! I got mine on line! The ones I got come in 4 colours and are £12.99 ( sorry I don’t know how to post a link!!! )

My favourite are from Tikiboo. They are really light soft Lycra and they have a pocket big enough for a phone in the back of the waist band. They are not cheap though.

I've done a lot of running in my Nike ones but also recently got some decathlon trail capris, v comfy with lots of handy pockets

I bought a pack of 2 sports leggings from Tesco. They are very comfortable and wash well. I kept one pair long and cut the others down to just below the knee and hemmed them. I like my bum covered so if not wearing my mesh tunic then would wear shorty shorts.

Me too! That’s a good idea.

We're lucky to have an outlet centre nearby. Nike capris have been great for me and all the better for outlet prices (although I have found not all Nike styles suit me so best to try a few out). I've had a bad experience with Under Armour capris - again outlet but great in the changing room, awful out on the road. Falling down all over the place 😳 I realise we're all different but they're not for me.

Good luck!
