If you’re anything like us, shorts aren’t just a seasonal staple—they’re a confidence piece. Whether you’re flowing through yoga, sprinting through intervals, or chasing your personal best at the gym, the right pair of workout shorts can make or break your session. It’s not just about performance—it’s about feeling sculpted, supported, and ready to conquer. And at Bombshell, that’s the energy we design for.
Below, we break down the best styles for every kind of training—so you can choose the fit that fits your goals, your movement, and most importantly, you.
Compression Shorts: Your Go-To for Heavy Lifting & Confidence

Mid-Length Shorts: Made for Momentum
When you’re deep into a sweaty HIIT session or chasing endorphins on a treadmill sprint, the last thing you want is your shorts riding up. That’s where mid-length shorts come in—they strike the perfect balance between freedom and coverage.
The Pocket Biker Short is made for high-energy movement with its supportive waist and signature Bombshell flair. The fit is tailored to stay put without holding you back, and the thigh-high sock design? Just the right amount of edge.

Booty Shorts: For the Days You Want to Feel Unstoppable
These aren’t your average shorts. They’re confidence boosters. Booty shorts are a Bombshell girl favorite for their contour-enhancing fit and lightweight feel that’s perfect for turning up the heat—whether you’re working out or just vibing through your day.
The V-Back Shorts are our ultra-flattering answer to the classic booty short. Sculpted seams, a cheeky back, and a V-cut waistband combine for that fit—the one that hugs in all the right ways and moves with you like a second skin.

Why You’ll Love Them: Scrunch detail, ultra-stretch fabric, and a confidence-boosting silhouette.
Ribbed & Lounge Shorts: Comfort-First Meets Bombshell Energy
