Active girls tend to fall into one of two camps: shorts lover or, well, shorts hater. And

hey, we get it; leggings and capris can help you avoid the pitfalls of higher hemlines—namely

chafing, and that dreaded sausage-casing look. But with brands now utilizing smarter

seams, stay-put fabrics, and tons of length options, we’re convinced it’s possible to show a

little (or a lotta!) skin during any workout. These 12 pairs will be your go-tos.
