Women's Shorts

OACE women's shorts combine support, freedom of movement, and a look that still impresses even after your workout. From figure-hugging scrunch shorts to functional running shorts with a built-in pocket, you’ll find the perfect shorts for your workout and the perfect athleisure look for afterward.

Which athletic shorts are right for you? Find your fit

Our shorts collection is tailored to different types of workouts and styles. To help you find the exact style that supports you perfectly, our collection is divided into four categories:

Scrunch Shorts – For maximum definition and shaping

These are our community’s absolute favorite shorts. The signature, invisibly integrated Booty Scrunch accentuates your natural silhouette without looking too flashy. Perfect for anyone who wants to confidently show off their gym achievements. The Scrunch Shorts are completely opaque, even during deep squats or sumo squats.

• Scrunch Pro Shorts: Seamless, high-waisted, and available in over 10 bold colors. For a casual vintage vibe, they’re also available as Scrunch Pro Shorts Washed.
• Core Contour Shorts & Appearance Contour Seamless Shorts: The Core Contour Shorts feature a firmer seamless knit with booty lines and compression for maximum stability. The Appearance Contour also creates an unbeatable 3D effect with contouring lines under the booty.

Clean Gym Shorts – Minimalist, functional, and without a scrunch

Do you love a clean, minimalist design without extra booty definition? These styles offer you a clean silhouette, maximum freedom of movement, and a completely non-slip fit during every set.

• Trust Seamless Shorts: The absolute bestseller in this category. The heavyweight seamless fabric (300 gsm) and the comfortable mid-waistband with a subtle V-detail at the back ensure an incredibly comfortable fit. The Trust Seamless Motion Shorts are the lighter version with sporty piping details.
• Revolution Pro Shorts: The most minimalist option in our collection. Completely free of scrunch and V-details—simply a seamless, perfectly fitting essential for your workout. Also available in a casual washed look as the Revolution Pro Shorts Washed.

Nylon Fitness Shorts – Ultimate Freedom for Yoga, Pilates, and the Gym

If you’re looking for a silky-soft feel with a sophisticated, slightly lustrous finish, our nylon-spandex blends are unbeatable. They hug your body gently and are perfect for workouts where flexibility is key.

• Aura Nylon Shorts: A minimalist high-waisted dream with a flattering V-shaped waistband at the back. As a real highlight for all body types, we offer this style in an extended size range from XXS to XXL. The Aura Nylon Piped Shorts variant also adds stylish accents with its piping details.
• Softline Nylon Shorts & Pulse Nylon Shorts: The ultra-soft Softline Nylon Shorts feature a mid-waist cut and a V-shaped waistband at the front—perfect as an invisible layer under loose-fitting pants. Want to keep your smartphone within easy reach during your workout? The Pulse Nylon Shorts feature clever, integrated side pockets for your phone.

Functional Running Shorts – Ready for High-Intensity

• Pulse Running Shorts: Our highly functional, dedicated performance shorts for running and intense cardio sessions. They feature a clever double-layer construction: airy, loose-fitting outer shorts made of breathable nylon paired with form-fitting inner shorts. This prevents uncomfortable chafing on your thighs and conceals a practical, secure pocket for your smartphone or keys. Tip: If you’re between sizes, go for the larger option here.

Sports Skirts – Bring the Tennis Aesthetic to Your Gym Routine

For all women looking for a particularly feminine, fresh look, OACE breaks the classic shorts routine. Our sports skirts offer maximum leg freedom:

• Heritage Matchday Skirt: Inspired by the timeless aesthetic of classic sportswear. This elegant tennis skirt, made from lightweight, quick-drying material, features an elegant overlapping front and subtle seam details. It pairs perfectly (in Warm White or Royal Green) with the rest of our Heritage collection.
• Nylon Folded Skirt: A modern pleated skirt made of functional nylon that stands out with its permanently integrated inner shorts, complete with a hidden side pocket. The ultimate, practical option for tennis, padel, or your summer streetwear outfit.

The OACE Shorts Basics: What to Look for When Buying

To ensure your new sports shorts fit perfectly and you feel 100% comfortable in them, you should pay attention to three factors:

• Find your size: Generally, our shorts are true to size. However, there are three small exceptions where we recommend going up a size due to the higher compression or specific cut: the Core Contour Shorts, the Trust Seamless Motion Shorts, and the Pulse Running Shorts.
• The Style Factor (Scrunch vs. Clean): Before buying, ask yourself what vibe you’re looking for. For maximum definition and a sculpting effect, our Scrunch models are unbeatable. For a low-key, timeless minimalist look, go for the Trust, Revolution, or Nylon models.
• The feel of the fabric: Our seamless styles (Scrunch Pro, Core Contour, Trust) are knitted in one piece, have no annoying side seams, and fit like a second skin. The nylon styles (Aura, Softline, Pulse), on the other hand, stand out with an extremely silky, cool feel against the skin and an elegant finish.
