Story Behind the Style: Kula and Vela Shorts

By 
Style

The long and the short of it... our collection of seamless shorts is expanding. It started with the Flyte Short a couple years ago, a basic that became a favorite in part because of its simplicity. Just-right compression/spandex, combined with a wide waistband and beaded seam lines. For the booty short lovers - it was a go-to for any distance, with very little slippage or chafe.

Fall 2015: Kula Shorts

With Fall 15, our season of "dangerous weather, dangerous women" we've infused the Flyte with some dark edge in the form of the Kula Shorts. We've given her some warrior paint, scratch marks... and thrown her out into the elements. In stormy Charcola and beautiful Burgen, the hues are both neutral and strong. The fabric composition and fit of the Kula are the same as the Flyte, with our signature poly/nylon/spandex blend, and an anti-odor treatment that's used in all our seamless.

Fall 2015: Vela Shorts

For the gal who loved our Long Flyte Shorts, we have a sister warrior: The Vela Shorts. Similar to the Kula, this new style brings edge with jacquard stitch lines that flatter the side of the leg, from waist to hem. The 4" inseam provides additional coverage, but the same no-slip fabric as the Long Flyte. Both Kula and Vela are designed to be worn as an outer layer, but their compression and fit make them ready to play base too.
