The pants don't ride down when doing yoga &amp; their looser yoga tops cinch at the waist for inversions. The hoodies have thumb holes &amp; some have kinda mitten cuffs. The running gear has what you need for running. I think it's good to have gear that makes working out easier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381450 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:49:31 +0000 Mo 381450@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on the performance you are expecting out of it. My champion skorts are great for working on the golf bar cart, but for running 10 miles in FL humidity, nothing beats my Lululemon run skort. Same with tops - I chafed from a seam under the arm wearing an Adidas wicking tee on my half marathon. But it's great for a ride on my stationary bike or other quickie workout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381445 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:41:13 +0000 nicoleb 381445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've gotten cute stuff from Kohls, Old Navy and that American Eagle line...i can't remember if it has a different name at the moment...but i think that was my favorite stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381443 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:34:58 +0000 cheryl 381443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can find really cute Danskin stuff at Walmart. I also find nice, affordable stuff at JCPenney, Old Navy and Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381439 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 18:29:01 +0000 Briar 381439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also a fan of Lululemon. They are pricey, but if you wash your workout clothes on delicate and air dry, their stuff lasts for years, not months. Many of their tops are made with antibacterial fibers, so there isn't a problem with odor. It has been a good investment for me--even though I initially choke at the register. </p> <p>Compared to Lucy, I find Lulu, Nike Dri-fit and Champion brands more functional for cardio workouts. Lucy material does not wick moisture away very well, so I only like it for knocking around or light activity. They do have cute stuff though and I always see coupons.</p> <p>If you are an instructor, both Lucy and Lulu may give you a discount (they do for the instructors at my gym) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381326 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 14:28:05 +0000 MsMary 381326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't bring myself to spend big bucks for workout clothes. I recently got a lot of nice things on sale at JC Penney, of all places. I've also liked my Champion stuff from Target.</p> <p>And I launder my things exactly as Janet does -- my machine has a "hand wash" cycle and I use Woolite and hang to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes/page/2#post-381301 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:10:50 +0000 Janet 381301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm also a fan of Lululemon -- I have a jacket from them that I bought over three years ago in San Francisco, I've worn it to death and washed it many times, and it still looks totally new. I'm also very happy with the yoga pants, running capris and sports bra I bought there. </p> <p>Lucy is also very good -- I have a couple of tops from there, a pair of running shorts, and a pair of casual pants (not workout) that are winners. I'm finding that even though LL and Lucy are pricier, their stuff holds up really well.</p> <p>On the other end of the spectrum, I've also found plenty of good things in Target (Champion yoga pants have lasted me years, unfortunately they're getting faded) and TJMaxx and Marshalls -- I keep an eye out for gear from Under Armour, Nike, and Puma. </p> <p>I also recently bought a running tank from Title Nine and I love it. It's white, which is tricky -- it's lightweight but not see-through, and it does a great job of giving just enough coverage with a sports bra while still keeping me as cool as possible on a 90% humidity, 80 F run!</p> <p>Oh, as for the items holding up well, I machine wash everything on the gentle cycle (even my bras, in mesh bags), and hang to dry. No problems at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-381295 Sat, 09 Jul 2011 13:01:06 +0000 Anonymous 381295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wild for Lululemon. Super pricey, but their stuff wears like iron.

I am tall, and I can usually find the longer lengths because they don't sell as well. Nike in particular has a yoga-ish line that comes in a lot of the warmer colors. I don't know what you like to work out in (shorts, yoga pants, running tights, sweats, ect) but if I were you I would buy some good quality bottoms-- if you run, lift, or do aerobics I would recommend running tights (you can always put shorts over them) because they really do help prevent injuries and fatigue if you wear the proper compression sort. I wouldn't worry about if the bottoms are black and then get some wicking tops in different colors. I have them in black, blue, and coral-- but have also seen grey, purple, and olive so I am sure you will find some that won't make you look ghastly. After finding 60 dollar compression tights for 10 bucks and the high quality ticking gear for 5-10 dollars I can't go back to paying regular prices. I still buy jog bras and running shoes at full price though because I am a D-DD cup and want to prevent injuries (don't pronate, so cushion is important). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-219612 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:14:37 +0000 catgirl 219612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Athleta if you're willing to pay up, or Title 9. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-219608 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 21:10:30 +0000 sara 219608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.bravadawomen.com/104.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bravadawomen.com/104.html</a></p> <p>check out bravada...better selection then lululemon </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177803 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 03:01:09 +0000 lynne 177803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote and recommendation for lululemon here. I haven't had any problem with mine pilling, but I am careful about what I wash them with. I admit I like the "anti stink" property, whether it is real or not. I can wear my tops a few times before I wash them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177680 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:18:55 +0000 florida 177680@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Athleta is my fave (and, I think, right up your alley, stylewise). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177665 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:42:04 +0000 crasdy 177665@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy all of my workout pants at Lucy. I have worn and washed them many, many times over the past three years and they've held up beautifully.</p> <p>I am one of the few people who does not recommend Lululemon. I have pants and two tops from them, and they have all been very difficult to care for. They pill and pick up lint horribly in the wash. Apparently you are supposed to wash them separately, but I just don't have the time or patience for that kind of TLC for workout gear.</p> <p>I've had good luck at Athleta (now owned by The Gap) and Title Nine.</p> <p>I've gotten cheap but very durable athletic tops at outlet stores like Brooks and Adidas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177650 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:23:19 +0000 NK 177650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, I'm with Kristen on this. (I'm currently sitting here, fresh off the treadmill in running capris from Target and a top from Walmart.) I run a lot, so these clothes have been worn and washed a ton and they're still holding up after years. Stores like that have come a long way as far as style in workout clothing. Target especially really has some nice designs and colors.</p> <p>I also have some cold weather running gear from Dick's, but it was pricey, and I almost freaked out when a top snagged from the Velcro on my iPod because I paid more for it than all my other running clothes combined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177647 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:18:24 +0000 Carole 177647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have Lucy athletic wear and love love love it! I tried Lucy because they have Tall inseams available, which is very rare, and the quality is superb! I haven't had to replace anything in years, and everything still looks fab! I try to add a different color jacket every so often, because they are perftect for so many occasions and great for travel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177641 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:41:53 +0000 Kristen 177641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with Kendra, most of my workout gear comes from Old Navy and Target. When I needed serious cold-weather running gear I got Under Armour at Dick's Sporting Goods but the rest is cheap and can be washed a million times. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177637 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 21:34:50 +0000 Katja 177637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are a whole bunch of great option these days. I gave up on the Lululemon here because they didn't have anything over a size 12 (and their 12 was <em>tiny</em>). Now that I fit in their clothes, I'm still annoyed that they don't carry anything bigger.</p> <p>Try:<br /> <a href="http://www.lucy.com/">Lucy</a><br /> <a href="http://www.titlenine.com/">Title Nine</a><br /> <a href="http://athleta.gap.com/">Athleta</a><br /> <a href="http://www.outdoordivas.com/outdoordiv/">Outdoor Divas</a><br /> <a href="http://www.junonia.com/home.htm">Junonia</a> (plus size)<br /> <a href="http://www.terrybicycles.com/">Terry</a><br /> <a href="http://www.shebeest.com/default.aspx?tabid=228">Shebeest</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177617 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:59:00 +0000 Kate 177617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second <a href="http://www.titlenine.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.titlenine.com/</a>, and also have found good stuff at <a href="http://www.rei.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rei.com/</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-177615 Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:47:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 177615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found a really nice pair of compression pants at Ross.

I have some yoga pants from Balance that cost half as much and wear twice as well. As other mentioned, you can find super-cute stuff at Target and Old Navy, but you can also try Title Nine Sports, Terry Bicycles &#38; Be Present. Title Nine has the absolute cutest sporty-girl clothes I have ever seen. Also, if there's a yoga studio near you, check out their boutique. They often have really cute stuff.</p> <p>I'm a yoga teacher and spend my whole day workout clothes- I totally understand that they have to be as comfy and cute as possible!!! Good luck finding stuff.</p> <p>Steffie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-44244 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:49:37 +0000 Ariadne 44244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sure Lulu pants are at least $100, possibly closer to $200. Tops will run you between $50-$100.</p> <p>I have a pair of capris and a top by them that are at least 3 years old and still look new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-44230 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:00:06 +0000 greenglove 44230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas everyone!! Lulumon has no posted prices on their web which always baffles me. Are they that far superior in wear? They do have really cute styles but I have no idea how much they cost. Color is always an issue at discount stores. I love warm colors and most work out wear is black, grey , pink or purple, not the best choices for me. I would wear black if I found some that fit great. I might go try on the Lulu stuff and see what the differences are. Probably way out of budget. Thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-44025 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:32:29 +0000 Sarah 44025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a small variety that I like, and when I need something I go to the outlets or TJMaxx to see what's on sale. I have found that I do well with certain Under Armor and Nike Sports bras. I like Adidas for my weight training and Nike or UA for my running clothes.<br /> I work out pretty hard and do 1.5 to 2 hours a day. I need some clothes that will keep up with me, pretty or not. I do typically wear stuff in a "set" so I at least look coordinated. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-43995 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:56:46 +0000 Ariadne 43995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for Lulu. I live around the corner from the original store (another point for Canada, eh?). They're pricey, and popular to the point of cliche here in Vancouver (there's one corner in Yaletown where you're guaranteed to see about half a dozen women in head-to-toe Lulu walking tiny dogs at any time), but they look great, come in tons of styles and colours, and last forever without pilling or wearing out. Can't go wrong with 'em, and I'd be surprised if you could find better looking or better quality gear anywhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cute-work-out-clothes#post-43988 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 23:43:47 +0000 marianne 43988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't like spending a lot on workout clothes - aside from shoes and bras and I second the suggestion of Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Also Nordstrom Rack usually has standard brands like Nike and Adidas at reasonable prices. </p>
