Psst: Word on the street is that these lululemon Align No Line shorts ($68) are the newest thing you need in your closet. As fans of the brand may know, the Align activewear line is one of lululemon's most sought-after collections, all thanks to its buttery-soft fabric, sweat-wicking comfort and flattering fits. And this year, the cult-favorite pieces have gotten a major upgrade in the form of 'No Line' designs—same great feel and fit we love, sans the vertical seam at the front.

Following the launch of the Align No Line leggings (which Associate Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera tried and loved) this past summer, the brand has finally dropped the shorts version, and the style is perfect for yoga, Pilates, walking the dog—pretty much anything you might do to get a sweat in.

Crafted with the brand’s signature Nulu fabric, which we can confirm is so soft it feels almost weightless, these shorts are breathable, comfortable *and* offer four-way stretch. The fitted, high-rise design provides extra coverage and comfort, particularly due to the super smooth, seamless construction that prevents any awkward riding up or chafing at the groin. As if that isn’t enough, there’s a hidden waistband pocket that can hold a key and card while you're on the move—just another reason to love 'em.

But don’t just take my word for it. Shoppers agree that these are, indeed, the real deal, and that they love them so much that they plan on buying them in bulk. “Finally, no seam, and they are perfect! Looks and feels SO much better than the originals. Please make more colors!” raves one buyer. “I absolutely love these and will be buying in every color and style!” exclaims another.

One thing to note, however, is that some buyers say that these shorts run small, which means you may want to size up if you want some wiggle room. And while I love the sleek black colorway, there are three additional options to choose from (true navy, espresso and onyx grey) should you want to double or triple up.

Well, I’m obsessed, so I’m not going to waste any time before adding these to my cart (and neither should you).
