Product Information
Full details
The Girlfriend Collective High Waisted Bike Shorts in Midnight are designed for adult females seeking a comfortable and supportive alternative to leggings for workouts or everyday wear. Their key benefit is a flattering high-waisted shape combined with sweat-wicking and compression fabric for a supportive fit. A potential caveat is that the compressive fit may feel tight initially, so sizing up is recommended for a less snug feel.

Ensure you are washing with like colors and avoiding harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Washing inside out and using a mesh laundry bag can also help prevent pilling.
