Sula shorts (English)

Sula, your new favourite go-to biker shorts for comfort and style! Sula shorts are the perfect pair of ribbed sporty shorts for lounging at home or wearing outside. They look great paired with an oversized t-shirt or if you also knit the matching Vedde top, you get a cute set! The rib stitch makes the shorts stretchy and comfortable and gives them a minimalistic modern look.

Sizes
XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL

Fit
0 cm positive ease (when stretched). However, due to the rib-knit fabric, the shorts stretch to fit just right on everyone and are body-hugging. An elastic waistband is also added to the waist for a snug fit.

I am wearing a size M and my hip circumference is 100 cm. Choose the size that is the closest to your hip measurements (when stretched) and if you are between sizes go with the smaller size since the end result is stretchy.
