Waist:
Measure around the middle of your natural waistline, this should be approximately around where your belly button sits or just above.
Hips:
Measure around the widest part of your hips, making sure the tape measure is sitting straight around the largest part of your bum.
Hot Tips 🔥
- The measuring tape should fit closely around the body without squeezing in any way.
- If your waist and hip measurements fall in different sizes, we recommend following the size of your waist measurement.

"Really like them. Very comfortable. Felt a bit low around the waist at first but didn't notice anything when running. The pockets for gels worked well. I'm 76cm waist and 175cm tall. I've got a medium in these race tights. However, I'm a small in other LSKD running shorts."
"Actually disappointed with them. Compared to other running tights they are not as comfortable, the liner moves and is uncomfortable, sizing is small versus the rest of the brands range. Legs are too short overall. Unimpressed and would not recommend them. For the brand that makes good products. This one certainly misses the mark especially at the price point"
"Its one of the best purchases i had. It was comfortable and very stylish."
"Total comfort, no riding, and enough space to fit everything you need on a run. Can’t stop raving."
"Really stoked with these shorts. The fabric feels great to handle and has enough compression and support without feeling restrictive. The side pockets are well placed and keep gels secure - I can carry a 250ml flask without any bouncing. I agree with other general comments about sizing running small - I bought a medium and it’s spot on (I’m a small in Lululemon and most other brands, this is my first LSKD purchase so couldn’t say how it sizes against the rest of the range). The waist could be slightly higher, which would also give the rear pocket enough extra space to be more useful (it’s very small), but I don’t mind this and it’s a comfortable fit overall. I’ve used it for fast training sessions and longer 30km+ runs."
"Really comfortable, high quality. My favorite tight shorts."
"The stitching of seams and location of the stitching is off, paired with the internal brief has caused nothing but chaffing. Might be good for short runs, but anything of some distance/time is asking for trouble. I’ve worn them for a marathon and a half and both times, cut me up and chaffing. The quality is there but just needs a bit of a re design"
"If you are going to succumb to wearing tights for your runs, these are it. Pockets for phone and keys, sorted. Brilliant fit."
"Without doubt the best running shorts I’ve owned. If you’re not sure on them, 100% get them. Phones fit perfectly in the side pockets and don’t move around"
