Soffe Athletic Wear is probably best known for its short little cheerleading shorts. In fact, I don’t think I’ve worn anything by Soffe since high school. But the company recently revamped its junior’s collection to be more of an all-around active sportswear and casualwear line—with all pieces under $30. With prices that low, you know we had to revisit the brand.

Soffe Junior’s V Neck Tissue Tee

Moisture-wicking Ts are always great for workouts, but sometimes—when you’re doing something that’s a little more low-key like walking or lifting weights—you don’t exactly need a technical T. Which is why I like this shirt. Simple and fitted yet not too tight with a flattering v-neck (that’s not too low), it’s a basic cotton shirt worth adding to your workout-wear collection. I’ve worn it to Pilates, yoga and even while out running errands. And at just $9.99, you can afford to buy them in multiple colors. Whee!

Printed Authentic Soffe Shorts

Yeah, so I’m not 16 anymore. That was painfully apparent when I tried a pair of these delightfully fun zebra shorts on. Made with 50 percent cotton and 50 percent polyester (no zebras were harmed in the making of these shorts), I wish these were a little softer and a little more breathable. I also wish they were longer, but hey, they are the shorts Soffe is known for. Coming in at just $13.99 though, they can help you to relive your high-school glory days on the cheap (and without attending your high school reunion).

One word of caution on these Soffe shorts: They’re definitely from the junior’s line. Meaning that they’re probably a little shorter/tighter/smaller than what you’re used to (unless you are, in fact, under the age of 18). So you might want to order a size—or three—up. Oh, to be a teenager again!

Soffe Print Shorty Shorts

If the cheerleading short-shorts aren’t your thing, these might be. More of a true running short, these wick sweat away in a style that’s popular and similar to Nike’s and Adidas’ running shorts. A little more forgiving in the room-department, these have sizing that is more in line with your usual workout apparel. We love how these Soffe shorts come in a variety of colors and patterns, ranging from solids to animal prints. (I went to Mizzou, so the tiger-print shorts at left are particularly appealing to me!) At $20 or less, they’re a steal!

Do you own any Soffe apparel? Did you in the past? Still rocking the short-shorts? Tell us! —Jenn
