I used to only run in Nike tempo running shorts but now that my thighs are a bit bigger I prefer running skirts so that I am not constantly pulling the shorts down in the crotch area. I get much less chafing with skirts as well. I like the Lululemon pacesetter skirt. Even though I am only 5'5" I actually like the tall length to give me a little more coverage as I find the regular ones a bit short! I also have one INKnBURN skirt that I really like as well-the pockets easily hold a phone and keys and I forget they are even there.
