21 Sweat Shorts For Sunny Spring Days

Trusty matching sweatsuits have been delivering us all sorts of comfort throughout the past two years. We'd even go so far as to say this garment has taken on the role of a supportive friend — because who else is gonna wrap us up in a cozy cotton embrace at all hours of the day? But the more that sun shines, the more that friendly hug-like feel turns into a clingy suffocating grip on our legs. And although we've begun transitioning our wardrobes from winter to spring, we're not quite ready to let go of our cozy sweats — but there are sunny days ahead! — so we'll start by trading in our beloved sweatpants for a pair of barely-there sweat shorts.

A not-so-distant cousin to the sweatpant, these abbreviated versions offer the same level of snuggle but are better suited to a warmer climate. By only removing about 3/4 of its fabric, the comforting core of the garment is maintained while our limbs are set free, whether that's for a vitamin D-drenched walk outside or an all-night couch party in front of your TV.

However you plan on enjoying the weather, we highly suggest doing so in the kind of clothing you can count on to keep you looking and feeling cool — and we've rounded up 21 sweat shorts that are just that.
