When summer dresses mean sore thighs
Dresses and skirts are the easy choice when it's warm, until your thighs rub together on the walk to the station. And a lot of shorts that stop the rubbing leave a ridge under your dress.
What it is
Lightweight high-waist shorts (82% nylon, 18% spandex) with a wide flat waistband and cut-edge legs at mid-thigh. The compression is moderate, so they smooth rather than squeeze.
What changes when you wear them
Your thighs are covered so they don't rub, and your skirt lies smoother over your tummy and thighs with no visible edges. They work while you're wearing them. They don't change your body.
Why this one
-
Helps stop thighs rubbing under dresses and skirts.
-
Cut-edge legs. No elastic ridge.
- Wide flat waistband.
-
Moderate compression you can wear all day.
- Nude pink or black.
