    Default Recommend your capri/cropped leggings or other shorts alternative

    We are going to Disney this summer and I am starting to think about what too wear. I do not wear shorts, period.
    I would like some cropped leggings (like workout wear), that won’t be too hot...and hopefully suck me in a bit
    I have lots of them here, but none that I love....
    Any ideas?

    Athleta skort, they have hidden shorts and the waist tends to come up higher so it keeps your stomach flattened.

    Workout capris in FL summer sound awful to me. Go with Athleta skorts. Cool, practical and cuter than exercise clothes.

    FL or CA? FL is muggy. CA would be ok for capris.

    Columbia anytime Capri! They are amazing! They are so light and cover my legs. And I think they have the SPF built in.

    I'm not sure the reason for no shorts, but workout Capri leggings would seem to be more figure hugging than shorts. I can't imagine workout capris in the muggy Florida weather!

    What about a cute athletic dress, they are my go to in hot weather, many have a built-in bra too, so less boob sweat!

    My go-to for theme parks is a tennis skort, because they are cute, comfortable, and the material dries quickly if they get wet on a flume-type ride.

    I think capris like these would be more lightweight for hot weather...although they don't offer the "suck-in" factor...

    You could check REI for similar styles from other "outdoor" brands like Columbia and Patagonia.

    Most of the compression-type capris I wear for exercise are Old Navy, Gap or Target's C9 brand. The ones with the mesh paneling might be a little cooler, and those mesh inserts are everywhere these days.

    I am not sure about the cute factor, but this is my current favorite for capris.

    Those are the ones that I live in when it's hot and humid in the summer! They are so lightweight and flattering! I have three pairs, and I think that I need another!
