On this page, "athletica" refers to a shoppable collection of activewear styles rather than a single brand. It brings together workout-friendly pieces you might be looking for—like high-waisted yoga shorts, biker shorts with pockets, breathable mesh jerseys, moisture-wicking tees, and relaxed-fit options, including plus sizes.

• Browse by features: Look for details like inseam length, rise, pockets, and fabric blends.
• Check size info: Compare the size chart and garment measurements to something you already wear.
• Read product details: Descriptions typically note stretch, lining, and care.
• Review fulfillment: Each item lists shipping and pickup options so you can choose what works best.

Selection can vary over time as new items are added.

It’s generally a category/theme used to organize workout and athleisure apparel, not a single brand. The items grouped here come from various lines and sellers, so features and fits can differ.

• Verify the label: The product page shows the brand name for each item.
• Check seller info: You can see who sells and ships the item before you buy.
• Compare features: Look for notes on compression, moisture management, pockets, and inseam length.
• Read sizing guidance: Size charts and fabric content can help you pick the right fit.

If you’re after a specific look or performance feature, use filters and the description to narrow your choices.

These items come from multiple brands and sellers available through our marketplace, and Walmart acts as the retailer. There isn’t a single manufacturer behind everything in this section.

• Check the product page: You’ll find the brand name, seller details, and fabric information listed there.
• Look at fulfillment: Items may be sold and shipped by Walmart or a marketplace seller, which can affect return methods and delivery options.
• Need specifics? Product descriptions often include materials, care instructions, and design notes like pockets or lining.

If you have a product-specific question, the item page typically provides ways to learn more before you place an order.

Start with how you plan to move, then match the inseam and fit to your routine.

• Yoga/Training: About 3–4" spandex styles can offer mobility and a lighter feel.
• Running/Cycling: Around 5–8" biker shorts may help reduce ride-up and chafing.
• Coverage/Casual: 9" Bermuda or knee-length options provide more coverage and a relaxed look.
• Consider rise & compression: High-waist designs can feel secure; light compression can add support.
• Measure what you own: Compare inseam and waist measurements from a favorite pair to the size chart.

Fabric and construction vary, so reviewing the description and photos can help you choose a length that feels comfortable for your activities.

Care instructions can vary by item, so checking the tag is a good first step. In general, these tips can help preserve stretch and color:

• Turn inside out: This can reduce abrasion on the outer fabric.
• Cold, gentle cycle: Cooler water and mild detergent are typically kinder to elastane.
• Avoid fabric softeners: They can interfere with moisture-wicking performance.
• Skip high heat: Air-dry when possible, or tumble dry low if the label allows.
• Wash similar items together: Use a laundry bag to help prevent snags.

These steps can help maintain fit and feel, but results may vary depending on the fabric blend and how often you wear and wash the shorts.
