Speaking of running skirts... (Read 1006 times)

In addition to my beloved New Balance Andare skirt (which appears to be out-of-stock/discontinued everywhere I look *cries*) I found these two sources: runningskirts.com skirtsports.com I'm kinda bummed that the NB one appears to be gone (I would have bought a black one if I had known it would disappear). I may have to try one of those other ones, instead. I have read positive reviews. I really like my skirt more than most of my shorts--there's nothing to bunch up between my thighs, which has always been an issue, even when I was a scrawny little thing in HS. I think it's more flattering, too, at least on my shape. Plus my hubby thinks they are dorky (yet I know he'd wear a Utilikilt if I bought him one, just because he lived in Scotland for a year and thinks kilts are cool), so I wear it just to spite him, LOL! k

Which ones have you found with the compression shorts? I like that feature in my NB skirt and wonder if I would like the ones with briefs as much. k

though if I keep up with the running, esp outdoors, I'm going to want music. My nike also has compression shorts, as do the other tennis skirts. Be wary of the ones with a really short inseam - they will creep up and allow for chub rub. I have one skirt with too short of an inseam

I have a new Nano on my Christmas list, already. I figure if I have it, then I HAVE to run this Winter, right? Otherwise DH will give me a hard time and all... It's funny, the little compression shorts under my NB skirt does ride up a bit, but it doesn't bother me at all. Regular running shorts bunching up, now THAT bothers me. Which ones have you found have the longer inseams? Do you notice any difference in fit or function between "running" skirts and "tennis" skirts? I see a lot of cheap (cheap price, but brands like Nike and Adidas) tennis ones at TJMaxx and wonder if they'd work as well. k

the thing with tennis skirts is some of them aren't cut to handle a running stride as well - look for ones with side vents - otherwise the skirt will creep up just a touch - nothing indecent like running shorts creeping up, but enough to be a bit of an annoyance if you notice it.

That's kind of what I was wondering. My NB skirt is sort of A-line, so it handles the stride well. I'm so mad that I didn't order that skirt in more colors, since it seems to be a bit cheaper than similar running skirts on the market. k

Yeah, a loose inner-short would be a problem. k
