Custom Athletic Shorts for Plus-Size Customers: A Buying Guide
- Shorts for plus size and gym shorts plus size cover both a general daily-wear search and a training-specific one.
- The catalog splits into three distinct short categories: training/athletic shorts, biker shorts, and mesh shorts, each fitting a different use.
- A skort is a fourth option in the catalog and answers a specific search on its own.
- High-waist and structured styles tend to be the most requested fit within the shorts category.
Three Distinct Short Categories in the Catalog
| Category | Piece | Brand | VIP base |

| Athletic shorts | Men's signature athletic shorts | Bear Grips | $49.88 |
| Biker shorts | Women's signature biker shorts | Bear Grips | $47.88 |
| Mesh shorts | Athletic 7 inch mesh shorts (no pockets) | Sport-Tek | $26.88 |

What High-Waist Shorts Searches Answer
High waisted shorts plus size is searched often enough to matter on its own. A high-waist rise adds coverage and structure at the point most customers care about most during a workout, and it pairs naturally with a cropped top or tank. See the leggings design guide for the same high-waist logic applied to a full-length piece.

Custom booty shorts plus size and cute shorts for plus size both point to a shopper looking for a fitted, fashion-forward short rather than a purely functional training piece. The women's signature biker shorts ($47.88 VIP base) is the closest match in the current catalog, offering a compression-close fit that works both as a standalone piece and layered under a longer top.
MMA Shorts Plus Size: A Note on What We Do and Do Not Print
Mma shorts plus size searches usually mean a specific competition-style board short with a fight-sport graphic. Bear Grips does not produce competition-rated fight shorts, but the men's signature athletic shorts and men's performance training shorts both work well as a branded gym-wear alternative for a combat sports gym's daily apparel line, separate from any official competition gear an athlete wears in the cage or ring.
A Fourth Option: The Skort
Sport skorts plus size is its own distinct search, and the catalog includes a dedicated women's skort (Sport-Tek, $34.88 VIP base) that combines a skirt front with built-in shorts underneath. It is a strong option for tennis, pickleball, and golf-adjacent fitness brands that want a shorts alternative with more coverage on the front.
