Can anyone suggest some please?

I am using Gymshark at the moment, but I've also tried Nike Dri Fit. The problem with both being, the drawstring waist doesn't stay flat for long. When I bend over, the waistband folds over, and it looks bulky.

Shorts I have had in the past have been much better, and some of my old Under Armour are fine. But it seems that a lot of the makers have gone for a design that looks great on their models, but in practice don't stay in place. I assume it is a generally cheap way of making them.

By way of conclusion to this, I bought some gym shirts and shorts from Uniqlo of all places and they have been excellent. Far better than branded stuff I’ve had recently.
