Like other Lululemon acolytes, he says the Vancouver-based brand has “mastered fit, simplicity, and technology” in creating this unlined pair, which he calls the ultimate gym shorts. “These shorts have been my go-to for a long time,” says Ralph Lauren creative producer Yale Breslin. The Pace Breaker short is a Strategist staff favorite, as well as a favorite among stylish men we’ve spoken with over the years. Material: Polyester and elastane | Lining options: Lined or unlined | Inseam length: 5 inches, 7 inches, or 9 inches Given that the Flex Strides come in 14 different sizes (XS–4XL Tall), a seven-inch inseam, and a lined version as well, we think they’re a worthy contender for your next go-to pair of workout shorts, especially for the price. The shorts also have four pockets: one zippered back pocket, two on the side, and a liner drop-in pocket. He wears his pair - which he has had for more than two years - for running, yoga, or just hanging around the house.
“They make my butt look really good,” he says. While Legitime says he’s not so interested in how shorts look, Howard adds that these lightweight shorts do have some aesthetic benefits too. Even without a lining, Legitime says the shorts still feel secure around the hip, but the lack of a liner means they’re “not tight on the groin or quads, making them super-breathable and flexible for hip movements,” he explains. This unlined Nike pair with a five-inch inseam came recommended to us by personal trainer Chris Legitime of LegitFitNYC and Jackson Howard, an editor at publishing house Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Material: Polyester, nylon, and spandex | Lining options: Lined or unlined | Inseam length: 5 inches or 7 inches The Session shorts have a buttery-soft texture and feel equally as good on the run as they do while relaxing. While these shorts have held up for countless miles, I also reach for them on rest days. I’ve been running in both the five- and seven-inch versions of the Session since 2019 for daily training. They’re also available in a five-inch inseam. Drew Westphal, who works in digital marketing, says he has also worn these lined shorts to do yoga, Pilates, and “a lot of stretching at home to help my golf game.” While they’ve been comfortable for all of his workouts, Westphal says the real appeal of the shorts may be their lesser-known branding and interesting colors, which range from “espresso” (dark brown) to “forest” (dark green) to “wine” (dark red). The Session shorts feel most at home during runs, of course, but they work just as well for sweaty, aerobic gym sessions.
Material: Nylon, elastane, polyester, and spandex | Lining options: Lined | Inseam length: 5 inches or 7 inchesīoston-based running brand Tracksmith makes some of the most stylish and unfussy active apparel available today, and its Session shorts are no exception. For those reasons - and the wide size range, from XS to XXL - we think the Intervals are among the best investments you can make when it comes to gym apparel.
In the three years that I’ve been testing the Intervals, I’ve worn them not only for workouts and runs, but also for summer hikes and beach trips, and they show no signs of wear. But if you prefer to skip the built-in liner, but they’re also available without it. The liners never ride up, and I love having pockets for everyday use,” he says. “They are my go-to shorts, no matter what I’m training for.
Karbelnikoff likes that these shorts are tough enough for CrossFit and gym workouts but also have the mobility and comfort needed for a six-mile run. Brill loves the lightweight stretch fabric of the Interval short, which he says would be great for any sort of heavy lifting at the gym. (Five-inch shorts are the second-most-popular length with the guys we spoke to.) They come recommended by personal trainer Ariel Brill and multisport athlete Nik Karbelnikoff. Shorts with a seven-inch inseam are the most popular among the guys we spoke to, with eight telling us they exercise in this style, but the Intervals also come in two other inseam lengths: five- and nine-inch. These seven-inch-inseam Ten Thousand Interval shorts come as close as you can get to quiver-of-one gym shorts.
