Whether you like to run in the park or in the gym, chances are you’ve seen someone rocking Free People’s high-waisted The Way Home Shorts. The popular nylon style comes in 37 different colors and features a 2-inch inseam with a bold, smocked and stretchy waistband. And at $30, they’re pretty affordable, too.

However, FP Movement clearly started a trend because more brands like Gap and Lululemon are mimicking the style. But seriously, don’t these shorts by AUTOMET on Amazon looks strikingly similar?

The AUTOMET Women’s High Waisted Athletic Shorts are regularly $4 cheaper, although they’re on sale for $21.99 right now. They come in 12 neutral colors and have a slightly longer inseam than Free People’s. So, if you like the high-waisted style but want a little extra length, these shorts are your best bet.

The shorts are quickly climbing up the ranks in Amazon’s lists of best-selling women’s athletic clothing and running clothing. Right now, they’re ranked No. 15 in the online retailer’s list of best-selling athletic shorts.

“These fit amazing,” wrote one Amazon reviewer who gave them a five-star rating. “They’re a little tighter than my Free People noiseless ones, but these ones fit around my waist better than my FP, which I like a lot. They aren’t as soft, but I don’t think you would really notice unless you were holding both in your hand. Honestly, if it wasn’t for the logo, I don’t think you could tell the difference between the two. I only wish they had brighter colors.”

“Great dupe,” wrote another reviewer. “These look just like the [FP Movement] high-waisted shorts. The material dries quickly, and the built-in undies are mesh material. I love how the waistband sucks me in a little, and the high rise makes me feel comfortable and secure.”

If you like the high-waisted look, go with the original The Way Home Shorts or try a longer style like these by AUTOMET on Amazon. Either way, this bold style is here to stay.
