Quick answer

Choose the Softsculpt Shorts for a second-skin, sculpted fit and the Softflow Shorts for a relaxed, breathable silhouette with built-in shorts.

Fit and feel: sculpted vs relaxed

The Softsculpt Shorts deliver a high-waisted, seamless front that smooths and contours your silhouette. The signature buttery-soft, four-way stretch fabric creates a second-skin feel, ideal for poses that demand a secure, non-bunching fit.

In contrast, the Softflow Shorts offer a relaxed silhouette with a soft elastic waistband. Their silky-soft woven fabric feels lightweight and breathable, making them a go-to for warm days or low-impact movement where you prefer a looser feel.

Functionality: pocket vs seamless

The Softflow Shorts include built-in inner shorts with a pocket, adding practical storage for keys or cards during outdoor walks or quick errands. This feature makes them more versatile beyond the studio.

The Softsculpt Shorts prioritize a sleek, uninterrupted line with their seamless front. They skip the pocket for a cleaner aesthetic that stays invisible under tops and doesn't distract during floor work.
