Running shorts are an essential part of any wardrobe. They are perfect for exercising, spending the day spring cleaning your closet and simply lounging around the house in comfort.

American Apparel's $59 shiny disco shorts are a staple in the K-pop fashion world. They have been modeled by SISTAR's Bora, EXID's Hani, After School's Nana and Brown Eyed Girls' Narsha, to name a few. But another pair of American Apparel shorts is quickly becoming a magazine favorite. The Interlock Running Shorts have been worn by "Mama" singer Nicole and Girls' Generation's Taeyeon. The best part? The shorts are currently 66% off and can be yours for only $7!

Nicole donned the shorts in the February issue of Vogue Girl, for an exercise-wear themed pictorial. She coupled the shorts with American Apparel's Cotton Ottoman Rib Crop Raglan top, which can also be yours for $42 at the brand's official online store.

Taeyeon sported the shorts in High Cut Vol. 145 for a natural beauty photoshoot. She accessorized the piece with a causal white t-shirt and matching sneakers with florescent-green designs.

According to American Apparel, "[These slacks are] A modern take on the classic 70's running shorts."
