Updated: 1/8/2020 | Best Pocket Shorts
Pockets on leggings have changed my life. I am a huge advocate for pocketed shorts because they’re multifunctional and great for wearing during hot seasons.
Here are some benefits of wearing pocketed shorts:
- You have a place to stow your belongings and go hands-free. This makes pocket shorts great for canoeing, SUP boarding or SUP board yoga.
- Wear pocket shorts under skirts as anti-theft gear.
- Can be worn under dresses to prevent chafing.
- Adds another layer of modesty and comfort when worn under a dress.
- Great for high-impact and sweaty sports by giving your legs a lot of breathing room.
Can you see why we’re fans of shorts with pockets?
Below are our top picks for pocketed shorts.
