These comments have been SO helpful and I'm going to try these out and report back. </p> <p>@Lesley - that is my usual go-to as well but lately I haven't found any toppers that aren't short. </p> <p>@marija I have never even heard of sail.ca! And I haven't checked out spring life either. Those are good options. </p> <p>One thing I am struggling with is price. I like quality and I will pay for it, but honestly, $166 for a workout cardigan?! I would be terrified to sweat in it or wear it on the weekend lest one of my kids wiped their nose on it or dropped a Costco sample on it (both have been known to happen.) Are there not reasonably priced clothes we can sweat in that still have style? I ordered a topper from Gap Body the other day and it's basically a flat square of fabric with armholes. Is that all I can get for a 'reasonable' price? Sheesh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1912229 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:48:16 +0000 Lesley 1912229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had good luck with yoga and running clothes at a discount department store (in my case, a Marshalls or TJ Maxx). They carry lots of brands with good style that I've never heard of and I always find good stuff. It's a lot quicker and cheaper to get to what I need, rather than experimenting with online sources (I can't be bothered for workout clothes!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1912189 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 03:04:50 +0000 Like the Season 1912189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this Pure Jill jacket.

They have a whole line of "CYA" (Cover your Assets) tops and jackets -- designed to be legging-friendly. Are they as easy to shop in Canada as Gap/ON/BR? They're all the same company...</p> <p>And does it have to be technical fabric, or is cotton okay? I would think some sort of cotton field jacket or anorak style might work, if this a running-around-town piece, and not straight-up workout wear. I have the Fleet Jacket from Madewell which might work (it is longer on me than on the model, but I'm a short-torso 5'4"), but I think lots of brands make similar ones. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.madewell.com/madewell_category/JACKETSANDOUTERWEAR/Jackets/PRDOVR~C3394/C3394.jsp?source=googlePLA&amp;color_name=Desert-Olive&amp;srcCode=MWGGBS00002_99104496761_184288007_11764431167_54457485169_c_pla_online__pla-54457485169_9002408&amp;sisearchengine=197&amp;siproduct=C3394&amp;noPopUp=true&amp;lsft=srcCode:MWGGBS00002_99104496761_184288007_11764431167_54457485169_c_pla_online__9002408&amp;gclid=CjwKCAjwiPbWBRBtEiwAJakcpLvcSxzD8d3hFY6f3mn_GasRZlslGSWyFhy_ToJOPzristxGKPglWRoCV6AQAvD_BwE">https://www.madewell.com/madew.....jsp?source</a></p> <p>I like the idea of the hoodie-dresses too. Longer and a bit distinctive compared to a plain old hoodie, good over leggings. I've seen them from gear brands like Prana and Lole, but also mainstream fashion retailers like H&amp;M, Lou&amp;Grey etc.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1911979 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:25:37 +0000 Anonymous 1911979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This isn’t what you asked for, but I wear easy to pull on dresses for this purpose. For winter, I have two sweatshirt style dresses, one from Athleta and one from Lou and Grey. Can’t locate finds because they are both from a year or two ago, but they are kind of in the vein of this one from Athleta.<br /> <a href="https://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1017400&#038;pcid=1017400&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=868908012" rel="nofollow">https://athleta.gap.com/browse.....=868908012</a><br /> For spring/early summer, I have the Madewell swing dress in two colors. For in between weather I layer a sweater or short jacket over the swing dresses.<br /> <a href="https://www.madewell.com/p/E8125" rel="nofollow">https://www.madewell.com/p/E8125</a><br /> Hope you find the jacket you are looking for, but if that doesn’t work out, maybe a dress could be a fallback? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1911976 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 15:16:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1911976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Athleta? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1911845 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 03:43:17 +0000 marija 1911845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried sail.ca?</p> <p><a href="https://www.sail.ca/en/clothing/women/sportswear/tank-tops-t-shirts-sweaters?limit=24&#038;p=3" rel="nofollow">https://www.sail.ca/en/clothin.....4&#038;p=3</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.sail.ca/en/clothing/women/casual-wear/shirts-tunics-sweaters" rel="nofollow">https://www.sail.ca/en/clothin.....s-sweaters</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.sail.ca/en/clothing/women/outerwear/mid-season-jackets" rel="nofollow">https://www.sail.ca/en/clothin.....on-jackets</a></p> <p>I also like sporting life: <a href="https://www.sportinglife.ca/c/ladies-sweaters?howMany=12&#038;sorting=&#038;page=6" rel="nofollow">https://www.sportinglife.ca/c/.....038;page=6</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-workout-toppers-needed#post-1911840 Mon, 23 Apr 2018 03:12:34 +0000 Anonymous 1911840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You might do a search for “ utility coat”.

You’re right. I haven’t seen this style in awhile. I had a couple of Free People ones from way back that I loved.</p> <p>I saw this online.

I went out for my first outdoor walk yesterday, and all of a sudden have NO zip-up jackets that are exactly as you describe. My one and only (MPG maybe?) is too body con now). &nbsp;I have &nbsp;to get a couple of these too - and soon. &nbsp;I was going to look at Sport Chek and see what the athletic brands have - UA, Nike, Adidas etc .&nbsp;</p> <p>I've had the odd yoga piece from AloYoga - also from Sportchek - but a quick look at their website shows all cropped &nbsp;jackets and coverups .

For months now, I have been on the lookout for a stylish hoodie/topper to wear with my leggings and long t-shirts post workout or on the weekend. The trouble is, with the new cropped trend, there are none that are butt-covering, which is a must for me. </p> <p>Have you seen any?<br /> My requirements are:<br /> 1) must be stylish and/or somewhat unusual (no regular sweatshirts or hoodies)<br /> 2) must cover my rear<br /> 3) must be cozy, comfortable and relatively warm (no running shirts)<br /> 4) ideally I can order and return from Canada<br /> 5) not too tight - ideally loose or tailored but with some structure (not sloppy.</p> <p>Any ideas? Canadians, are there any yoga stores besides lulu that I should check out? </p>
