A not-so-distant cousin to the sweatpant, these abbreviated versions offer the same level of snuggle but 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 sweaty 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 August, 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 25 sweatshorts that are just that.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
