For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.

Please ignore the black socks with the sandals.  I do not know why North Face woke up this morning and chose violence, but let’s try to look past it.

These are the North Face Aphrodite shorts.  They are comfortable, long enough, have pockets, and dry in a snap if you fell in a creek (don’t ask, don’t ask).  

Amazon has them in three colors, regular and long lengths (even I wear the long, because I like having the extra inches), misses and plus-sizes.  Some colors are as little as $19.  I bought two pair because now I can have backups.
