Women's shorts Nike and adidas

Which women's shorts to choose on Foot-Store?

Choosing women's shorts mainly depends on their use: worn alone during the day, slipped under leggings for sports, or paired with a sweatshirt for a casual look. The catalogue offers short cuts and high-waisted models, made from cotton, jersey, or technical materials like French Terry.

Nike shorts, such as the Sportswear and Phoenix lines, focus on soft materials designed for everyday wear. adidas models, especially ALL SZN or Essentials 3-Stripes, are recognised by their ribbed finishes or iconic side stripes. Other brands like Hummel, Only, or Project X Paris complete the selection with more streetwear styles.

Nike or adidas: how to navigate between the two brands?

Nike and adidas remain the two most represented brands in this selection of women's shorts, each with its own identity.

• Nike shorts play on comfortable materials and sportswear cuts, suitable for both active and casual wear.
• adidas shorts often stand out with the three stripes or a ribbed fabric for a more casual look.

The rest of the catalogue, featuring brands like Guess, JJXX, or Le Temps des cerises, allows you to find dressier cuts, whether in denim or canvas, to wear away from the field.

Polos, sweatshirts, joggers: pieces to pair with women's shorts

A pair of women's shorts naturally pairs well with other lifestyle wardrobe pieces, which can be browsed separately on Foot-Store:

• Polos and t-shirts, for a simple top to match in any season.
• Sweatshirts, for layering on cooler days.
• Jackets and coats, to add in mid-season.
• Coats and padded jackets, perfect for winter.
• The jogger, an alternative to shorts for chillier days.
• The dress, to vary lifestyle silhouettes.

All these pieces can be found in the Women's category, which brings together all the lifestyle clothing on the site.

When to take advantage of the best offers on women's shorts?

The prices of women's shorts change according to sales periods, and several events allow you to keep an eye on the best opportunities. The Black Friday comes first in the calendar, followed by the end-of-year festivities, then winter sales and the French Days in spring.

To stay updated during these key times, the Lifestyle on sale page and the lifestyle clearance page list discounted shorts throughout the seasons. The lifestyle deals section centralises ongoing offers, while the Black Friday lifestyle page becomes active as the event approaches. The lifestyle new arrivals section helps you spot the latest models as they arrive, especially during collection changes.

How to choose the right size and cut of shorts?

The cut of women's shorts varies significantly from one brand to another, making the size guide essential before purchasing. A high-waisted short, like some Guess or Only models, typically fits more snugly at the waist than a sportswear short from Nike or adidas, which is designed to be looser and more comfortable.

If in doubt between two sizes, it’s advisable to check the measurements listed on each product's page rather than relying solely on your usual size, as cuts may vary between models within the same brand.

Frequently asked questions

Can a Nike or adidas women's short be worn for sports?

Yes, most of the Nike and adidas models in this selection are made from soft materials suitable for active use, as well as for everyday wear. Sportswear cuts like Phoenix or ALL SZN are suitable for both a workout session and a casual outing.

What’s the difference between women’s shorts and bermudas?

A bermuda typically falls lower on the thigh, close to the knee, while a classic short stops higher up. The choice depends mainly on personal preference and intended use, whether sporty or casual.

Can you wear women’s shorts all year round?

Some fleece or thick cotton shorts can be worn indoors or on cooler days, paired with a sweatshirt. Lighter models, made from jersey or fine cotton, are better suited for warm weather.

How can you tell if a short is high-waisted or low-waisted?

This information is usually found in the product name or description, like for the high-waisted Guess GJ Mom short. If there’s no specification, it’s most often a standard cut, which should be checked on the product page.

Are the women’s shorts in this catalogue available all year round?

The catalogue changes with the seasons and new stock, some models being refreshed with the collection change. It’s recommended to check the page regularly to see which items are available, especially through the lifestyle new arrivals.
