The drawstring on the waist is not really something you’d use due to the elastic, it’s mostly just decoration. In my opinion this waistband is less muffin-prone than the speeds waistband. It has a lot of give to it so it doesn’t cut in at all. The elastic waistband looks very small when laid flat, but it stretches a ton. So if you love everything about these shorts but the length, or if you’re quite tall, give the long version a try. There is a liner inside (the same as lulu’s other shorts) to help with potential wardrobe malfunctions.Īll that said, lululemon does offer a longer version of the hotty hots that have gotten a lot of praise. The contoured sides with mesh details also add to the ultra-short factor. The combination of the generous leg opening and super-short length means these are significantly more revealing than speed shorts. The leg opening of the hotty hots is 2″ larger in circumference compared to my speed shorts (24″ vs 22″ for size 2).īoth shorts are listed as having a 2.5″ inseam, but laid next to one another, the hotty hots are noticeably shorter, probably about 1/2″. Speed shorts have a fairly straight cut that angles outward, while hotty hots have a more contoured, bubble-like shape. Laid flat, the cut of the two shorts are virtually nothing alike. That said, there are many fit differences versus speeds. I suggest trying your usual lululemon size. I purchased the hotty hots in the same size as my speed shorts (I’m wearing a size 2), which is the same size I wear in lululemon’s other bottoms. The combination of the fit and fabric can make it prone to creasing/wrinkling when worn, as you can see in the photos, which is not something that happens with my speed shorts but isn’t a big deal. The fabric is not noticeably different when worn. This pair has a very slightly more textured feel to it compared to my solid, 4-way stretch speed shorts, but it could just be this particular color. The fabric of the hotty hots is 4-way stretch and therefore completely flexible. Here’s my review of the hotty hots as well as thoughts on how they compare to lululemon’s speed shorts. I absolutely love the color so I decided it was finally time to test these out properly. I finally picked up a pair in viridian green, a gorgeously saturated spring shade. They’ve been around for a couple seasons now, but I’ve admittedly had a hard time breaking out of my speeds comfort zone to give these a proper try. Lululemon’s shorts category is one of their strongest in my opinion, so I generally expect good things. I have about 20 pairs and seriously wear them non-stop all summer. I’ve been a diehard fan of lululemon’s speed shorts ever since I started wearing lululemon.
