It's not just cute - it's by far the best fitting skirt for running that I own. Great fabric, excellent fit. Luckily, I paid much less through eBay! <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1358936&l=9ae9a93d7a&id=1456754575" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/photo......1456754575</a> LeahJanes on "Where to find fun, non-black gym wear?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-fun-non-black-gym-wear#post-248407 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:22:45 +0000 LeahJanes 248407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh good pics Sarah! Very cute workout wear. Looks like I might have to spring for a pair of lululemon pants. Maybe after I have maintained my gym routine for a month I'll treat myself.

I've recently joined a Crossfit "gym" and since I'm working out in public, I'm paying more attention to what I wear. I typically wear colored shorter shorts (I found some cute pink mesh ones by Nike) and gray v-neck tees or tanks. Now that it's cooler, I'm wearing knee length capri tights and bright colored shirts. The top below is by Hard Tail for Nordstrom (found at the Rack for $10). They usually have fun prints and colors. I also seek out Zella at the Rack. I love lululemon, but I can't justify spending that much for work out wear. I recently got some super fun shoes that will add some spunk to my "gear". lynne on "Where to find fun, non-black gym wear?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-fun-non-black-gym-wear#post-248401 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 15:14:31 +0000 lynne 248401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here's another song of praise for lululemon. I don't like my workout pants to be too tight, but there are several styles of looser fitting pants, crops, and shorts. The Be Still style even has pockets. A couple of ladies in my yoga class asked me what kind of pants they were (because they looked so cute and comfortable) and ended up buying them themselves.

My issue is that I don't like it when my workout pants are tight in the butt and thighs, and it seems like *all* workout pants do that. I just want something that skims my body, not hugs it. Kim, I'm with you on the sweating issue. Thanks for making me feel like I'm not alone!

The pants are expensive, I admit, but once you invest in a pair, you'll never go back! First, you really only need one pair because they wear so WELL--no stretching, fading, etc. Second, they are the only pair of gym pants I've found that are actually flattering on all sorts of body types. No dreaded camel toe and the cuts are slenderizing because the designers think about things like where to flare out the bottom part so that it makes your legs look as thin as possible. Plus, earmuffs Angie, if you need to run to the grocery store or do an errand post-gym, you'll feel totally fine doing so in the Lululemon pants, I promise! chewyspaghetti on "Where to find fun, non-black gym wear?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-fun-non-black-gym-wear#post-248012 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 22:05:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 248012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Check Kohl's- they usually have gray,navy and brown in addition to the black.

Makes complete sense now! That being said, if I could find some black or dark grey pants with some nice details or cut, they'd more fun to wear than saggy baggy ones. I'm also looking at Lululemon.com right now! Thanks for the replies all.

These clothes are bright and designed for a woman's body. No saggy crotch, muffin top,etc. Happy Shopping!

TJ Maxx often has Adidas, Nike and Marika dry technology workout wear at great prices. Oh, and Reebok, too. Some of their tennis stuff is pretty cute and colorful and works just fine for gym or other sports.

I *only* wear black pants to the gym because when you really work out you sweat in the crotch area and wind up looking like you wet yourself! LOL (Ask me how I know...) I leave the color for up top now...

Here's a reversible pant that comes in black/blue and black/pink: <a href="http://www.target.com/C9-Champion-Premium-Reversible-Pant/dp/B003QYPUJ8/ref=sc_pd_gwvub_3_title" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/C9-Champ.....ub_3_title</a> LeahJanes on "Where to find fun, non-black gym wear?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/where-to-find-fun-non-black-gym-wear#post-247957 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:39:30 +0000 LeahJanes 247957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am starting to go to the gym with a friend. It's great cause the time on the elliptical just melts away when you're gabbing with a buddy. But, being as vain as I am, I want some cute gym clothes. However, all I see is a sea of black saggy yoga pants. I liked the Stella McCartney for Adidas collection but it's a bit hard to bring myself to spend $80+ on gym pants. To that end, does anyone have any recommendations for non-black, maybe even fun patterned, gym clothing? I am more looking for bottoms than tops as I can use the gym as an excuse to wear all my cute cartoon character and band graphic tees!
