Purple Shorts for Women

Purple brings a bold, distinctive note to an active wardrobe and still pairs cleanly with the neutrals you already own. Vitality's purple shorts span deep plum, berry, and soft violet across several fabrics and silhouettes, from high-compression training shorts to relaxed lounge and run styles. Every pair is graded XXS to 4XL with construction built to stay put.

What Styles Are Available in the Purple Shorts Collection?

The range covers performance, lifestyle, and outdoor shorts, so you can choose by intensity, coverage, and feel rather than settling for one option.

Cloud II™ Volley Short

A high-rise volley short in buttery Cloud II™ with a graded inseam that hits at the upper thigh. Balanced 2.5 out of 5 compression, four-way stretch, and a secure double-lined waistband make it the versatile pick for HIIT, yoga, and errands.

Cloud II™ Biker Short

Longer thigh coverage and a high-waisted hold for cycling, lifting, and layering under dresses or oversized tees. The Signature Glute Contour Seam® and anti-camel-toe front carry through.

Cloud II™ Foldover Volley Short

The same buttery Cloud II™ volley build with a foldover waistband, so you can adjust the rise higher for support or fold it down for a relaxed sit.

Vitality Surface Run Short

A sporty running short with a built-in liner for coverage and secure storage, plus water resistance and sun protection. Built for sprints, cross-training, and outdoor cardio.

Vitality Cozy® Uni Short

A soft, lounge-first short in plush Cozy® fabric. The relaxed pull-on fit suits rest days, travel, and around-the-house wear when comfort comes first.

Vitality Studio® Women's Short

A heathered, everyday short in soft Studio® fabric, easy to wear from a low-impact session to running errands.

Vitality Nomad® Short

An outdoor-ready short in durable Nomad® fabric with zippered side pockets, a high-rise pull-on waistband, and a drawcord. The relaxed silhouette is built for hiking, travel, and varied terrain.

How Do the Fabrics Differ Across the Range?

Cloud II™ anchors the performance shorts with a buttery soft handfeel, balanced compression, four-way stretch, and sweat-wicking, fast-drying finishes. Surface adds water resistance and a liner for outdoor cardio, while Vitality Nomad® brings a durable, breathable build with secure zippered pockets. Vitality Cozy® and Vitality Studio® sit at the softer, lounge end for rest days and casual wear. Most styles are made with majority recycled materials, so the range performs while helping clean up an industry known for waste.

What Keeps Purple Shorts in Place?

The Cloud II™ shorts use a high-waisted, double-lined waistband that anchors without rolling, paired with a graded inseam that keeps the leg opening proportional at every size. Four-way stretch recovery holds the short through squats, lunges, and sprints, and anti-camel-toe coverage stays smooth front and back. The lounge and outdoor styles rely on pull-on elastic waistbands and drawcords for an adjustable, stay-put fit.

How Do Purple Shorts Fit Across the Range?

Sizing runs XXS to 4XL with per-size grading of waist, hip, inseam, and leg opening, so a larger size is built for that body rather than scaled from a smaller pattern. Start with your usual Vitality size. Coordinate tones through The Vitality Color System®, and browse other shades in Black Shorts, Blue Shorts, Green Shorts, Red Shorts, Pink Shorts, and White Shorts.

How Do You Choose the Right Purple Short?

For training and gym sessions, the Cloud II™ Volley or Biker Short gives the most support and squat-proof coverage. For outdoor cardio and runs, the Surface Run Short adds a liner and weather protection, while the Nomad Short suits hiking and travel with its zippered pockets. For rest days and lounge, the Cozy Uni Short and Studio Women's Short keep things soft and relaxed. Match the short to the day, and the deep plum-to-violet tones carry across all of it.

Womens purple shorts from Vitality pair performance, lounge, and outdoor styles with deep, lasting color in sizes XXS to 4XL. Start strong, stay supported with Vitality activewear. Shop the entire collection.
