workout wear

They say putting on your shoes is half the battle. I say the whole dang outfit is half the battle. 
Workout clothes are tricky. Can't be too tight, too loose, too bright, too boring, too expensive, too cheap. It's a hard shopping world to navigate. 


These are some of my favorites: 


I get mine at TJ Maxx or Marshalls for no more than $20 each. They come in fun colors and are reversible. Great fit and I like the look. 

Pretty sure I have this in every color. Since...well...I really don't need much support {sad face} these suckers are great! Stretchy, crazy comfortable, inexpensive and fun colors! 

I don't know about you, but I am in the gym for a reason. To get rid of my belly buldge, not to show it off. Tanks like this are few and far between. 


Men's or Boy's White Crew Neck Undershirts
Yup. The best workout tee. Thin, lightweight and cheaper than cheap. Stock up, you won't be sorry. 


Workout Tights
I am not specific to a brand- Target, Gap, TJ Maxx and Marshalls always seem to have a great selection. For outdoor workouts- these are a must. Bonus, they are incredibly comfortable- you'll be grabbing for these instead of sweatpants for weekend errands. 

Does everyone and their mother have these? Yes. And there is a reason why. Hello, ease of mobility, coverage and stylish color combos. 

Compression Capris
Another must-have. I am not brand particular here either- just try them on in the store to be sure you buy the right size. Oh- and make sure those suckers can breathe! Good fabric for workout clothes is important

Much like my closet- my workout clothes collection will never be complete. Here is what I am loving right now/sale stalking:

I need a jacket so I can layer for outside workouts- the one I use now is just gross. 

How cute does Stacey Keibler look rocking the GapFit line? 


Tanks that allow me to be confident and move around are a must-have for Spring/Summer. 
Lululemon has an amazing selection. Save your pennies...

What are your workout wear essentials?

  1. Love workout gear :) I LIVE in Nike running shorts and the ones from Target. Also love target sports bras (so many bright colors!) and I have this awesome running top that has the little thumb holes that my boyfriend got me, super cute and pink lol. Wish I could afford more lulu ;) or any for that matter!
