I'll have to look at mine more closely when I get home...</p> <p>Thanks for sharing! No doubt this will be useful to all of us (I'm short, but sometimes I like my leggings to hit me at a crop length!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear/page/2#post-1649352 Sun, 24 Apr 2016 01:27:38 +0000 salt-sea 1649352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse the late posting to this, but since this is such a great thread for future reference, wanted to add for the tall people - many (maybe all?) MPG leggings have three hems, so you can cut them to the perfect length. I don't cut them, and for the first time ever have leggings that are long enough for me.<br />In addition to MPG leggings, I like Athleta shirts and jackets and Under Armour tanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear/page/2#post-1645413 Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:57:25 +0000 styled 1645413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the lucy brand lucy.com which is also sold on Zappos.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1645207 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 22:59:56 +0000 RunningSue 1645207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wanted to add Nike, their leggings are great for running, lifting and everything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1645202 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 22:48:15 +0000 RunningSue 1645202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a trainer and fitness instructor so athletic clothes are my work day wear. &nbsp;I love Sweaty Betty, expensive and high quality. &nbsp;Athleta has great fit with lots of unsinkable items (look for the tag) with UPF. &nbsp;Lulu for more stylish and to fro clothes. &nbsp;Zella does not fit me well either (I am 5'2"). &nbsp;Lucy is a go to since they have the best sales so you can get their stuff at a great price. &nbsp;Like Vimmia from Bloomingdales. ALO, Lorna Jane, Koral. &nbsp;I have not tried Fabletics, pricing is great.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1644805 Fri, 15 Apr 2016 10:00:43 +0000 Style Fan 1644805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have not been on the forum much these days.&nbsp; I am working for 10 weeks.&nbsp; <br />I have seen Tonic gear for Yoga around for a few years.&nbsp; Some very cute things.&nbsp; I might buy some next week when I go to Hamilton to work.</p> <p>Bonus.&nbsp; Tonic is Canadian and is made in Canada.</p> <p>Lole and Lululemon are my favourites.&nbsp; I do a lot of Yoga. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1642124 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 15:27:33 +0000 Roxanna 1642124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also - a couple of other Brands I like for those looking : </p> <p>Titika - good quality, stylish stuff, though the fit is sometimes off for me </p> <p>Michi - michiny.com<br /> Really fashion forward, edgy, bondage inspired stuff. If I was a yoga teacher in new York and made oodles of money, I would wear this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1642122 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 15:18:35 +0000 Roxanna 1642122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are all fantastic suggestions - this is a thread I will come back to again and again! Thanks everyone!</p> <p>I will definitely check out lole, athleta and Zella. </p> <p>Donutty - MPG is a great one! I picked up a pair of their capris recently and they were well made and had great detail.</p> <p>Suz - I actually find Winners had amazing gym stuff! It is a challenge to pick through sometimes. I found amazing Under Armour leggings for $40 (regular $120) and the above mentioned Mondetta capris for $25 (regular $100) They are not consistent, though, so I wanted a few other options. </p> <p>Ummlila, Maneera - yogasmoga and Sweaty Betty are intriguing! May check them out! </p> <p>Elle - funny enough, I was on a yoga retreat a few months ago and the girl beside Mr had great leggings - turns out she got them from old Navy too! I never even thought of looking there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641883 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 02:02:39 +0000 abc 1641883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Lucy (www.lucy.com), Athleta and z Zella (rack) and marika (rack). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641880 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 01:59:52 +0000 nancylee 1641880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm following this thread with interest since I'm in the market for the same.

MPG is now sold at Hudson Bay, but is available on line too. They have great stuff. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641869 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 01:42:49 +0000 BrieN 1641869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not exactly answering the question about "stylish" gear, but for anyone who is trying to squeeze workout wear into their overall clothing budget, Target's C9 Premium legging is really nice -- very thick material and is holding up very well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641866 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 01:38:12 +0000 Suz 1641866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the wrong person to ask because this is an area where I confess to buying most of my stuff at Winners -- not a good strategy from a fashion standpoint.&nbsp;</p> <p>However, I do like Lole a lot and I'm intrigued by that MPG company also. I intend to improve this capsule pretty soon as an inducement to spend more time in the gym!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641862 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 01:28:47 +0000 Anonymous 1641862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha, that's interesting.

Zella is nice but all their pants and capris are too short for me. I bought one pair of running capris but they drive me nuts because they barely cover my kneecaps. My favorite running capris are still my Lululemons from 4-5 years ago. They've held up like iron. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641840 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 00:40:16 +0000 donutty 1641840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree&nbsp;Lolë is great and I'd also suggest another&nbsp;good quality Canadian activewear brand,&nbsp;Mondetta Performance Gear (MPG). &nbsp;I'm very happy with the items in my closet from those brands. &nbsp;My favorite non-Canadian brands include Zella and Athleta.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641802 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:09:04 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1641802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Lulu Lemon, Athleta and Sweaty Betty. <b>Sweaty Betty</b> is definitely fashion forward and excellent quality but some of their pieces are outrageously expensive. Also you need to use the item the way they say -- e.g. if they tell you it's for running it might not be so awesome in a yoga class. Also I just tried out <b>Yogasmoga</b> for the first time. More of a quality neutrals look but I'm liking it.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641797 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 22:59:58 +0000 Angie 1641797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Lulu Lemon, Athleta and Gap Fit.

Very cute stuff, though, and free returns!</p> <p>Not a big fan of Under Armour or Lululemon, mostly for quality:cost ratio, also just not really my style, though some swear by them.</p> <p>Uniqlo has some of the best budget options -- Airism line for hot weather and Heattech for cold weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641645 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:15:27 +0000 Janet 1641645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Athleta has some cute things too, although they seem to be getting more and more into "athleisure" rather than pure workout gear. Under Armour is good. Zella (Nordstrom) has some nice pieces too. </p> <p>I'm now curious about Lole and Sweaty Betty -- the SB catalogs started showing up at my house but I have never tried ordering anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641633 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 19:06:28 +0000 Anonymous 1641633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I usually buy most of my workout gear from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gaiam.com">http://www.gaiam.com</a>&nbsp;.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641624 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 18:54:57 +0000 Jane 1641624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really enjoy gear from Sweaty Betty - lovely colours that wash really well time and again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-buy-stylish-workout-gear#post-1641602 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 18:21:20 +0000 Anonymous 1641602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these brands, all available at Nordstrom:<br /> Alo<br /> Onzie<br /> Free People (really neat tie-up leggings)<br /> Zella </p>
