The Drawstring Waist Athletic Running Shorts in Classic Black by Old Navy

Your perfect go-to active essential — a beautifully clean, effortlessly versatile pair of woven running shorts that delivers the lightweight, breathable performance you need for your workout with a sleek, minimal aesthetic that takes you seamlessly from the gym to casual errands without missing a beat. The smooth, lightweight performance woven fabrication in a deep, clean black has a beautifully crisp, structured quality with a soft, fluid drape that moves freely with every stride — quick-drying, breathable, and completely comfortable from warm-up to cool-down. The elasticated waistband with a tonal self-tie drawstring sits comfortably at the mid-rise, while the relaxed, slightly A-line leg falls with an easy, flattering drape to a clean curved hem at mid-thigh with small side slits for added freedom of movement.
