It ain’t about the money, money, money. In this case, it really isn't. Workout shorts for less than the price of a dinner outing, you can’t go wrong with these picks from New Balance that combine aesthetics, functionality and cost less than $50 each. What are you waiting for? If you needed an upgrade to your gym-wear, you could grab the lot and have a (track-and-) field day. 

This line-up features some selected items from Klutch Athletics, a new line by NB that is made with athletes in mind. Each short features functional detailing that lifts them from everyday gym options to keepers. 

This could have come straight out of the Zoolander franchise, being tres 'derelicte' - only in the price point, of course.
