Training shorts have become a must-have in every wardrobe — not just for the gym, but for everyday movement, style, and comfort. But with so many options out there, how do you know what actually makes a good pair of training shorts? Whether you're hitting the gym, running errands, or just chilling, here's what you should look for.
At Maison Misfit, we’ve designed roomy, high-quality nylon training shorts built for movement and made to last — all while keeping you looking fresh.
Why Training Shorts Matter
A great pair of training shorts can enhance performance, improve comfort, and elevate your style. They should allow for full range of motion, wick away sweat, and hold up through intense sessions — without sacrificing aesthetics.
Our roomy nylon shorts are the perfect balance between function and fashion: breathable, durable, and designed to move with you.
Key Features of Good Training Shorts
Here’s what to look for when choosing the right pair of men’s or unisex workout shorts:
1. Breathable, Lightweight Fabric
The best training shorts are made from lightweight and moisture-wicking materials like nylon or polyester. Our shorts use premium nylon that’s not only breathable but also fast-drying — ideal for high-intensity workouts or warm days.
2. Room to Move
Tight shorts can restrict movement, especially during squats, lunges, or leg presses. Ours are cut with roomier leg openings — meaning they’re naturally better for guys with bigger thighs or anyone who likes a more relaxed fit. But don’t worry, they’re not baggy — just balanced.
3. Durable Construction
Cheap gym shorts can fall apart quickly. At Maison Misfit, we prioritize durability and structure so your shorts keep their shape, wash after wash. Reinforced stitching and a premium feel means these aren’t your average training shorts.
4. Functional Details
Pockets matter. Waistbands matter. Comfort matters.
That’s why our shorts come with:
-
Deep side pockets for your phone or keys
-
An adjustable waistband for the perfect fit
-
No annoying inner mesh – just clean, functional design
Style Meets Performance
Our training shorts are built to perform, but they also look clean enough to wear outside the gym. Pair them with a basic tee or tank for workouts, or throw on a hoodie or oversized crewneck for an off-duty fit.
Minimal branding, clean cuts, and modern colorways keep things versatile.
Are These Shorts Good for Big Thighs?
Yes — but that’s not the whole point.
They’re not just ”shorts for big thighs” — they’re well-designed training shorts with enough room for real movement. So whether you’re built, athletic, or just like your space, these shorts won’t restrict you.
Everyday Use, Not Just for Training
A lot of people search for "gym shorts you can wear outside the gym" — and that’s exactly what we’ve made. Maison Misfit training shorts transition easily from your morning session to your afternoon plans, without ever looking out of place.
