✦ The Design

A whimsical take on the desert landscape, this original pattern combines green flowering cacti, oversized cream blooms, tiny crescent moons, leafy botanical details, and hand-drawn suns.

A warm brown background gives the print its earthy foundation, while turquoise-green cacti, coral-pink blossoms, cream flowers, and muted golden details bring the desert scene to life.

It's a little Southwestern, a little boho, and a little whimsical—made for anyone who would happily trade plain workout clothes for something with considerably more personality.

✦ Made to Move

Four-way stretch microfiber fabric allows these shorts to move comfortably in every direction, while moisture-wicking, breathable, and fast-drying properties make them versatile for all kinds of active days.

Take them running, wear them to the gym, head out for a hike or climbing session, or bring them along for swimming and beach days. The 2.56″ inseam creates a sporty short silhouette, while the elastic waistband and flat drawstring provide an adjustable fit.

Mesh side pockets add practical storage for small essentials while you're out adventuring.

Pair them with a cream, green, coral, or neutral athletic top and let the desert print take it from there.

Please note: Because this is an all-over printed product, exact pattern placement may vary slightly from the product images.
