The Vuori Clementine 2.0 Short 4" is a lightweight woven women's short with a mesh liner, an adjustable drawcord waist and a front zip coin pocket. It costs about $68 and carries a Best Seller tag on Vuori's page, with a 4.8 average from about 3,300 reviews. It is a comfortable, versatile short for running, tennis and daily wear, with a few fit and pocket caveats that are worth knowing before you order a pair online.

Fit and sizing

Sizes run XXS to XXL, and the inseam selector offers 2.5 and 4 inches. Vuori calls the fit semi-fitted, slightly fitted through the hips, with a mid rise. Vuori's fit rating is only about 3 out of 5, and the AI review summary says some find it runs slightly large. Plan to read reviews or use the shorts finder if you are between sizes.

Fabric and feel

The fabric is 88% recycled polyester and 12% elastane, a lightweight, ultra-stretch performance woven. Vuori lists 4-way stretch, moisture wicking and recycled content. The waistband is elastic with a drawcord.

How it performs for running

A mesh liner is built in, and reviewers on Vuori's page praise it for staying in place without bunching, although some note a visible outline from the liner insert. The front zip coin pocket is small, good for a key or card rather than a phone. Vuori also says it works for trail runs and the tennis court. For more picks, see our best running shorts for women.

Price and value

At $68 it matches the Lululemon Hotty Hot list price and has a smaller pocket system, but it has an extended size range and a 4.8 average. Vuori's shipping and return details are on our Vuori brand page.

Alternatives

For roomier running, the Hotty Hot. For a yoga-soft feel, the Beyond Yoga Keep Pace. For a compressive biker style, the Girlfriend Collective Bike Short. Compare brands in Vuori vs Lululemon.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you need a phone pocket, dislike liners or want a very compressive feel.

The verdict

A comfortable, well-reviewed lined short that works across running, tennis and daily wear. The small zip pocket and mixed fit feedback are the trade-offs. At about $68 it is a solid all-rounder, and the extended size range helps, but runners who need phone storage should look at other shorts.
