The 10 Best Lululemon Shorts for Men on Their Site Right Now

What makes Lululemon shorts so darn special? Premium quality for their more-than-reasonable prices, attention to the technical details that ensure you are comfortable and have invested in clothes that check the durability component, and their overall athleisure style. Some of the brand's shorts can be alternated between the gym and casual-wear, whereas others can be dressed up more semi-casually. With Lululemon you get options. Lots of options.

• Why they're great: Very comfortable, flexible, has pockets throughout, nice colors
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): N/A
• Pockets: Yes, 3 pockets
• Other features to note: Made with recycled polyester from repurposed plastic waste

Up first are Lululemon's Soft Jersey Shorts, which put the comfort in comfortable. Featuring a soft brushed interior, the shorts are made with a recycled polyester blend that comes directly from repurposed (shoutout to sustainability), and are lightweight and sweat-wicking for additional comfort. There's four different colors to choose from, and the shorts are quite flexible thanks to the tiny bit of elastane that is included. The fit is also a classic one, meaning that fits slightly snug, but still leaves ample enough room to not cause discomfort. All-in-all, these are a great pair of shorts to add to your rotation.

• Why they're great: Built with comfort in mind, has an oversized fit, can choose inseam length
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): 5", 7"
• Pockets: Yes, 4 pockets
• Other features to note: Has a waistband drawcord

Baggy is one of the major trends in right now, and baggy is exactly what the Steady State Shorts give you as they designed to be oversized and loose. This means they can run slightly big, so you might want to keep that in mind when selecting your size and inseam. Otherwise, these shorts check the comfort box thanks to their cotton-blend fleece fabric, are lightweight, feature multiple zippered pockets that you can use for your convenience, and a waistband drawcord that you can personally choose to wear in or out. Not a bad deal for the $78 price tag.

• Why they're great: Good for sports, nice fit, comfortable
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): N/A
• Pockets: Yes, 2 pockets
• Other features to note: Made with mesh fabric

Lululemon has just recently unleashed their new Jordan Clarkson inspired products, and one of those are the Relaxed Sport Short's, which are made entirely with a mid-weight mesh fabric. Seeing as though they are inspired by Jordan Clarkson, an elite basketball player, these shoes are automatically great playing sports/working out as they are comfortable and loose without being too big. There's also the standard two pockets in the front that can be zipped, the drawstring waistband that you can use to adjust the shorts to your liking, and centre-back tape to be able to hang the shorts if need be. This is a great pickup for sure.

• Why they're great: Works for semi-casual wear, breathable, multiple colors to choose from
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): 7", 9"
• Pockets: Yes, 2 pockets
• Other features to note: Has Lululemon's ABC Technology

Another good pickup is the Commission Classic-Fit Short, which comes equipped with Lululemon's exclusive ABC technology. What exactly is ABC technology? Why, it's Anti-Ball Crushing to keep your you know what being uncomfortable. The Classic-Fit Short's also come with two pockets in the front that can be zipped, are made with a polyester and elastomultiester blend for superior comfort, and have a slight stretch built into them as well. Throw in the fact that they can be easily dressed up and down, and this is a great capsule wardrobe piece.

• Why they're great: Lots of fun colors, can choose inseam length, comfortable, good for training
• Liner: No
• Inseam(s): 5", 7", 9"

What can we say? There's a select few of us who like for our clothes to come in funky colors. Understanding that, Lululemon has options like their Pace Breaker Linerless Shorts which are considered to be a training short for the gym. In addition to the cool colors, you've got the polyester and elastane for prime comfort, the sweat-wicking properties to accompany the comfortable material, an inner waistband, more room in the hips and thighs area, and two pockets. Sitting at $68, we'll call this the bang for your buck.

• Why they're great: Made with golfers in mind, has abrasion-resistant fabric, durable, multiple colors to choose from
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): N/A
• Pockets: Yes, 3 pockets
• Other features to note: The shorts are water-resistant

If you're a golfer, we've picked these out specifically for you. Lululemon's Commission Golf Shorts are versatile, functional, and perfect for the hitting golf course in. Designed to take you from the office directly onto the course, the shorts are crafted with nylon and elastane, which comes together to create an abrasion-resistant fabric. The extra protection means you won't have to worry about excess wear and tear, and these shorts remain polished at all times. Perhaps the most important feature, however, is that these shorts are water-resistant, meaning you can play in the rain. Game on.

• Why they're great: Good for training, versatile, comfortable
• Liner: No
• Inseam(s): 7", 9"
• Pockets: Yes, 1 pocket
• Other features to note: Has a split hem

For another training/workout option from Lululemon, you certainly can't go wrong with the T.H.E. Linerless Short's, which also have that abrasion-resistant fabric we just mentioned. You'll get everything a training short is supposed to give you as the material is both sweat-wicking and quick-drying to keep you nice and cool as you workout. There's also the streamlined-fit design that gives your thighs and glutes a little extra breathing room, along with the bottom of the shorts being tapered. You should never have just one pair of workout shorts, so consider this a secondary option if you have already made your mind up about another shorts selection on this list.

• Why they're great: Designed for swimming, filled with technical details, comfortable
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): 5", 7"
• Pockets: Yes, 1 pocket
• Other features to note: Has silicone artwork on drawcord

We're shopping a few seasons ahead remember. Based on how quickly Lululemon sells out, we'd venture to say that these probably won't be around by the time summer rolls back around. That means you should grab them now. The Pool Shorts are not just water-repellent with its recycled polyester material, they are also abrasion-resistant so that you can dive without having to worry about the shorts ripping in embarrassing fashion. You will also be very comfortable thanks to the Lululemon's breathable mesh fabric liner which also has Xtra Life Lycra for chlorine resistance.

Another helpful feature is the bonded perforations that drain water as you are swimming, along with the silicone artwork on the drawcord that creates an extra grip in the water.

• Why they're great: Designed for surfing and swimming, breathable, versatile
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): N/A
• Pockets: Yes, 2 pockets
• Other features to note: No seam on the inner thigh

Continuing the summer short selections, it's quite possible nothing beats the Current State Board Shorts when it comes to board shorts as a whole. You can choose them for regularly swimming as well, but these shorts have all of the technical features needed for surfing, which is why you should specifically use them for hitting the waves. What are those exactly? Well, there's the flat waistband to keep the shorts from sliding when you're surfing, the silicone artwork on the drawcord for that extra grip, and the two secure pockets to name a few. We also have to call out the lack of seam on the inner thigh, which Lululemon says is to help reducing chafing.

The shorts also have two-way stretch so that way they aren't too tight, and they are easy to slip on and off.

• Why they're great: Designed for hiking, can be dressed for activity or semi-casually, comfortable, durable
• Liner: Yes
• Inseam(s): N/A
• Pockets: Yes, 3 pockets
• Other features to note: Has built-in loops to clip on essentials

It's still warm enough to let your legs roam free in most places, which makes the Water-Repellent Hiking Short great for, well, hiking. Of course you can use the shorts for other purposes, but that would mean you don't get to properly take advantage of features like the built-in loops for clipping on essentials and the cargo pockets. You also won't get to find out just how water-resistant these shorts are if you don't encounter a rainy hiking day. The built-in four way stretch means there's ample room, and the multiple pockets are also another way to keep your belongings secure. Easy to wash and easy to dry, you've got the perfect pair of hiking shorts right in front of you.
