Made from 90% organic cotton and 10% elastane, they’re breathable, supportive, and designed to feel good on your skin… not like the thin, plastic-y, synthetic feel of most activewear.
The fabric is brushed on the inside using a single-sided finishing technique, giving them a deliciously smooth, soft feel the moment you put them on.
They’re thick enough to feel secure and squat proof (260gsm), so you don’t have to second guess anything mid-workout.
And we’ve added subtle inner seam detailing to help avoid camel toe… because that shouldn’t be something you’re thinking about.
High-waisted, flattering, and built to stay up, these are your go-to for workouts, walks, and everything in between.
Why You’ll Love Them
Supportive high-waist fit that stays in place without rolling
Buttery-soft, brushed inner fabric for a smooth, second-skin feel
260gsm fabric that’s thick, squat-proof, and not see-through when they're on
Subtle inner seam design to help avoid camel toe
Deep side pockets for your phone, keys, or whatever you’re carrying
Natural fibre comfort — breathable, soft, and low-tox
Sculpting without squeezing or restricting
Mid-thigh length that works for training and everyday wear (if you have longer legs, they’ll sit slightly shorter)

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 29 reviews.
Very comfortable non restrictive shorts.
I am 174cm tall and a near exact size (Small, 8) on the ODAAT size chart.
I was at first convinced by the reviews that sizing down to an XS was the way to go, however they ended up being too small so I returned for my actual size and what do ya know they were perfect! I look forward to purchasing the leggings once they offer a tall version.

Thank you sooooo much for sharing!! And so glad to hear they were true to size for you!! It really can be tricky online trying to get the right size so we are so grateful that you gave us a try and found your perfect match!! Hope you love the Tall Flares option, and excited for you for when our Tall Leggings option drops too!
These shorts are really comfortable. Different feel to Lycra shorts which is great. I sized down. Will definitely be buying more when new items are in stock.
Absolutely love wearing these shorts!!! They are so comfy and perfect for working out! I would recommend sizing down, but even then they stay up fine during tough workouts.
Absolutely love that they’re non toxic!!! Well done ODAAT team!
Short and super cute and comfy, the pockets are perfect.
I would highly recommend this store to anyone who is conscious about what materials they are putting on their body.
I have no complaints. Worth it!
Love these, the fabric feels soft and is nice and thick. I’m usually a 12 -14. The sizing said 16 but I ordered 14 and they are great. So nice to have an organic activeware brand in NZ, I am slowly changing my whole wardrobe to organic fabrics and am so glad we now have ODAAT. I have been following the IG since before they were available. Thank you! 🤩
Love these shorts. Dont ride up. As a shorter person they are a great length not too short or too long. I have psoriasis that can make my skin painfull but I find these soft and comfortable on my skin. Sometimes I sleep in them. I would size down with the long tights but I did use my normal size for these.
My favourite item from the haul! So comfy and a lovely shape. Great “go to” shorts for walks and hitting the gym. Squat proof. The brushed inner feels lovely on
Loving the shorts so comfy with no roll up on the legs and no roll down on the tum. Perfect with pockets. Material is breathable perfect for those warmer days.

Thank you so much for your feedback Angela! That makes us so happy to hear :)
I'm currently wearing my ODAAT Activewear and I love it. They're so nice and thick and not excessively stretchy, and kind of wooly on the inside, it feels really nice. There's a seam at the top to keep them up which is nice and firm so they don't fall down, but not too tight. I probably could've sized down, but I love them.
Shorts are a dream!!! Did a pretty intense class w burpees and running etc and they stayed up! I think I probably could go a size down but they still are great and so comfy! Me and my boss were raving about how nice they are on today!
I love these shorts the are sooo comfy! I had recently purchased another popular brand of shorts as I needed some a bit sooner wish I had held off these ones fit so much nicer and are way more comfortable 😍
Sooooo comfy! I love the length of these, and have been literally living in them since Christmas. So soft and I honestly can't go back to normal activewear now.
