I was a little worried that the shorts would show sweat stains but no need to worry about that here! These are great shorts - I found the style to be flattering and comfortable. I like doing HIIT + running in these. Sometimes I throw on a big t-shirt and just do errands as well. The length is good and I don't really have issues with it riding up at all (if it helps, I'm between 5'5 and 5'6). I will say that the waistband was a tad tight when I first got it but after a few wears, it's gotten more comfortable.
