And while there are reliable brands like Nike and Lululemon to buy from, adding just one or two of their items to your cart can get pricy. Luckily, Amazon is home to a wealth of athleisure that often directly replicates styles from these fan-favorite brands. Look to the Blooming Jelly Women's Quick-Dry Running Shorts, which tons of Amazon shoppers say remind them of the coveted $58 Lululemon Tracker Shorts. These shorts from Blooming Jelly are less than half the price of the Lululemon version, with some colors going for just $25. Courtesy Shop now: $25 (Originally $30); amazon.com Made from a blend of polyester, nylon, and spandex, the running shorts are not only soft and comfortable, but also breathable, wicking away sweat while you exercise. The fabric is lightweight and cool to the touch, and the shorts have a stretchy elastic waistband and built-in underwear liner for extra coverage. Plus, there's a zipper pocket that's large enough to hold a credit card or a set of keys. You can slide into these shorts whether you're moving at an outdoor fitness class, going on a run, or heading for a hike. They're also stylish enough to wear casually if you're meeting friends or running errands. Available in sizes XS-XL, the shorts come in a number of colors and patterns, including tie-dye, wine red, and gray. Amazon shoppers can't stop raving about these workout shorts, which have picked up over 1,000 perfect ratings. Reviewers say they're "better and cheaper than Nike running shorts" and "perfect for any workout." One shopper even goes on to say that these shorts are "just as good as Lulu." Courtesy Shop now: $16 (Originally $30); amazon.com "I'm obsessed with these shorts," one five-star reviewer says. "So flattering, fit true to size, high-waisted look is perfect! The built-in underwear is so comfortable, they don't even feel like they are there. These are my new favorite workout shorts. Forget Lululemon; these are the best!" "I've been searching high and low for a breathable pair of shorts that fit my hips, waist, and thighs," another shopper shares. "These are slightly high waisted, which is amazing, and they're super lightweight. The liner isn't tight or pulling the short downs. The pocket is perfect for my phone. The slits on the sides aren't revealing, but they're perfect for squatting without worrying they'll ride up or give a show."
