✦ The Design

This original abstract pattern pairs flowing wavy stripes with softly textured, watercolor-inspired color.

Rather than traditional straight stripes, each vertical band gently curves and shifts across the design, creating an organic rhythm. Warm peach and orange tones are layered with lighter golden variation throughout the stripes, while crisp white negative space keeps the overall print feeling fresh and airy.

The result is a little retro, a little abstract, and wonderfully summery—an easy way to add art and color to an activewear collection.

✦ Made to Move

Four-way stretch microfiber fabric allows comfortable movement in every direction, while its moisture-wicking, breathable, and fast-drying properties make these shorts ready for all kinds of active days.

Wear them for running, workouts, hiking, climbing, swimming, paddleboarding, beach trips, or everyday adventures. The 2.56″ inseam creates a sporty short silhouette, while an elastic waistband and flat drawstring provide an adjustable fit.

Mesh side pockets give you convenient storage for small essentials while you're on the move.

Pair them with a white or cream top for an easy warm-weather look, or play off the pattern with peach, coral, or orange.

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