Come summer, pretty much any yoga becomes hot yoga—whether you like it or not. If you’ve ever had sweaty fabric clinging to the backs of your legs during a studio class and then cringed through the discomfort on your commute home, you know the downsides of disappointing yoga leggings. Knowing discerning strategies to go about your life in less fabric has never seemed so essential. Enter yoga shorts.

In recent months I’ve been searching and scrolling and clicking in prep for whatever triple-digit character-building the summer ahead brings, and the yoga shorts I’ve been crushing on are the same ones that happen to be on sale this week—the TravisMathew Moveknit Bonded Short.

I’m imagining these as the type of versatile shorts you immediately try on and then purchase three more. They seem like the ideal yoga shorts slash bingewatch Netflix shorts slash walk the dog shorts. The length diplomatically ignores both the micro and the boxer trends this season and instead diplomatically falls somewhere in between the Nair short and the requisite knee length of a Catholic schoolgirl uniform (before you rolled the waistband over a few times in the washroom).

The Moveknit draws raves from online reviewers for its comfy feel and criticism for its relatively loose fit. But in the heat and humidity, I’ll take loose over clingy any day. And you won’t find a more summery pattern than the tie-dye-ish Bronnera Blue Multi (shown) and Smoke Blue Multi.
