The Men's Accelerate 5 Inch Short from New Balance has a 4.7-star rating with nearly 2,500 reviews on Amazon, and it's no surprise why. The shorts are comfortable, moisture wicking to keep you dry during your toughest workouts and they also feature a trendy 5-inch inseam—perfect for showing off those quads you've been working on. If the glowing reviews from fans aren't enough, take it from this style editor: I bought these shorts during Amazon Prime Day last year, and they've replaced nearly every pair of athletic shorts I own. They're not just functional, there's some serious style packed into these shorts, too. Add these shorts to your workout wardrobe in 15 colors in men's sizes XS to 5XL.

Under Armour isn't just a name, it's a sign of where the brand outshines its competitors. The brand's foundational garments are outstanding, designed to keep you comfortable, dry and supported through any workout. Their popular Men's HeatGear Leggings are a great layer to throw on under the shorts listed above for those chilly spring morning runs.

These leggings have a near-perfect 4.7 stars with 10,108 ratings. One eager fan of the style writes, "I just recently got into running as a hobby [...] I did not want to run in pants or in heavy gear, the lack of gear is what makes running alluring to me in fact. This product was a great lightweight alternative to running pants or wearing other implements while running. This product somehow kept my legs way warmer than I expected, are lightweight, and are not too tight in any of the wrong places." Shop the HeatGear Leggings in men's sizes XS to 4X in standard and tall lengths, in 12 vibrant colors.

Complete your workout look with a moisture-wicking shirt that'll keep you cool, dry and protected from the elements. The Men's Cooling Ice Silk Running Shirt from The Gym People is made from breathable fabric that'll keep you dry, and features a reflective stripe for enhanced visibility in low light. But perhaps most importantly, the textile incorporates UPF50+ technology, which ensures that your skin won't burn while you're on your run. This workout shirt is available in seven neutral colorways, in men's sizes S to 3X.

With over 9,100 reviews on Amazon, the Nike Men's NSW Club Jogger Jersey is a beloved pair of sweatpants that aren't just suitable for the gym—they're perfect for everyday, too. The style, available in a staggering 47 different colorways, is designed for comfort. They feature a slim leg with ribbed cuffs and an elastic waistband with adjustable drawcord. We're particularly fond of this bold Kumquat orange shade to add a pop of color when we're focusing on our fitness. Shop the style in men's sizes XS to 4XL in standard and tall lengths.

If you're looking for workout gear that has been tested to prove its efficiency, look no further than the Hanes Men's EcoSmart Fleece Hoodie. This sweatshirt has received over 167,000 reviews (that's not a typo), with fans raving about its unrivaled comfort, 23 vibrant color options and the unbeatable value. There just isn't a better sweatshirt out there under $20, making this a no-brainer. Shop the style in men's sizes S to 5X, but know that some of the reviews also come from women who love the style for an oversized look.

Maybe you're searching for a one-and-done look to sport to the gym. For those moments, you'll want to find the gold standard for track suits, like the Adidas Mens Sportswear Basic 3-Stripes Tricot Track Suit. Wear a plain white T-shirt under the track jacket and you'll have a look that'll adapt with you whether you're hitting the outdoor track, popping into the gym for some cardio or even while just running errands. This track suit is available in five colors in men's sizes XS to XXL.

If you've been putting in the hours in the weight room and want to show off your gains, reach for the Neleus Men's 3-Pack Running Tank Top. This tank features a Y-Back design that cuts in at the arm-holes to highlight your physique. Best of all, for under $30, you'll get three moisture-wicking, stylish and comfortable tank tops. The tanks have over 3,300 reviews, and while many of them remark on their functionality as workout wear, one fan of the style writes that he buys these tanks in bulk to wear as undershirts: "I'm built like a NFL lineman. Muscular but thick around the middle. If you're looking for a loose fitting, baggy top this is definitely not the one. If you're looking for a top that's not compression fit or hanging loose you will be happy." Shop the multipacks in 15 different color configurations in men's sizes S to 3XL.

Amazon's in-house Amazon Essentials brand makes affordable, well-made wardrobe staples that are comparable to popular styles from the biggest brands. Their Men's Performance Tech Loose-Fit Shorts are no exception, garnering over 60,000 glowing reviews that praise their comfort, deep pockets and inclusive sizing—with one fan calling them the "Most comfortable shorts I ever owned." Judge for yourself by ordering these shorts in men's sizes XS to 6XL. Like some of the other products on this list, these shorts are sold in multipacks of two, in 16 different color pairings.

If your workouts are more teeing-up than T-Shirt, consider the PGA Tour Men's Airflux Solid Mesh Short Sleeve Golf Polo Shirt. This golf polo is designed to keep you dry and cool with every swing. Best of all, the shirt comes with the seal of approval from the PGA Tour, which could explain its near-perfect rating with over 9,000 reviews. Shop the style in men's sizes S to 4XL in a whopping 43 different colors.

Any good workout outfit starts with the basics, and Under Armour's wildly popular Men's Tech 6-inch Boxerjock 2-Pack are known for being one of the best athletic underwear models available. These boxer briefs are known for being comfortable, moisture-wicking and, most importantly, supportive. One of the style's 10,446 reviewers writes, "These are the best men's undies out there. I've tried most everything else, but I keep coming back for Under Armour. They're comfortable as can be. They support the groin area well, and they keep you dry. They are also surprisingly durable. I still have a few pair that are several years old, and they're still in the rotation. I couldn't be more satisfied and will continue to buy these." Shop the Boxerjock in multipacks of two in 16 colors in men's sizes XS to 5XL.
