I headed to trusty fashion destination ASOS and came across this pair from the retailer's own brand, ASOS Design. Available in sizes 20-30, this £8 short was the first pair I tested – and during a hot bank holiday weekend of shopping and roaming around Covent Garden, no less. So how did they hold up?

Under normal circumstances, a long sweaty train journey and 15,000 steps would have been the making of a nightmare of chafing, but with these bad boys on, I was safe! Better yet, I felt supported and comfortable. Gold star for that.

I personally didn't mind that they have a semi-sheer finish that remind me of a decent pair of tights. The stretchy elastic band on the waist and leg opening of the shorts mean they stay in place, which is ideal. No rolling up or rolling down.

If the idea of wearing shorts under a dress or skirt on a warm day doesn't appeal to you or your underbelly sweat – don't worry, this is a safe space, and we all go through it – trust me when I say that these shorts are incredibly breathable. The fabric isn't super thick so you'll feel easy breezy.

For £8, this pair of anti-chafing shorts definitely gets a thumbs up from me. They do sit just above the knee on me (I'm 5'7"), so they'd be great paired with a midi or maxi dress. But, wearing a mini skirt with them might just make you look like you've taken a leaf out of the Kardashians' cycling shorts wardrobe. I'll let you decide if that's goals or a fashion faux pas.
