If you’re like us, you’ve probably reached the point where you’re willing warm weather with every single ounce of your being. With spring showers, sleet and snow in the forecast (thanks, Canada!), it can be hard to imagine a time when leaving the house won’t require several layers of clothing and a winter jacket.
If you’re feeling particularly optimistic or need a ray of sunshine, Lululemon have recently released a short version of their beloved Align Pant. Perfect for summer, this short variation is made from the same buttery-soft Nulu fabric loved by Lululemon fans and celebrities alike.
The Align Pant is so popular, even Meghan Markle is a fan — she’s worn them while hiking in British Columbia, and also sported them after her celeb-studded baby shower in New York City.
The Align Short has the same function as the pants, designed for yoga with a high-rise and four-way stretch. Sweat-wicking and lightweight, these shorts can be worn during a workout or while running essential errands.

Loved by customers for their comfy fit and versatility, the Align Short has more than 300 reviews.
“I got these because I was tired of my spandex shorts becoming cheeky bikini bottoms 10 minutes into my workout. I wore these for a 40 minute yoga practice and 35 minute barre practice back-to-back, and only pulled then down three times, and even then they had just ridden up an inch or so. The waistband is also nice because it doesn’t have any elastic. It doesn’t leave indentations or create extra folds when I bend over. The material is a little on the thick side and it feels like it’s holding everything in – in a good way,” says one fan.
“I wear these shorts almost daily and they are the only kind I wear. They are so comfortable, don’t dig at all, and are long enough and high enough. They wash and dry well even though I don’t follow tag washing instructions,” adds another.
However, if you’re thinking about investing in a pair, customers do recommend sizing up.
“The Align Short in this length is perfect! I love that it’s not too short, but still not mid-thigh or bike-short length. I can see myself wearing these to lounge around the house, go for a quick grocery run or even work out in (lifting, yoga, a jog or walk). The only thing I would recommend is to go a size up when buying shorts. I usually wear a size two in Align pants, and have a zero and a two in these shorts. The two definitely fit better, but honestly I would even go for a four,” suggests one review.
“I love my Align pants and shorts. The fit is perfect and they’re so flattering. Being a personal trainer and yogi, I live in gym shorts. These have become a staple in my wardrobe. I’m a size two in Align pants and size up to a four in the shorts,” adds another.
They’re also available various colours and three different lengths: 4”, 6” and 10”.
