Moving comfort Fiona is the best sports bra ever. Super supportive, comes in bra sizing, and opens in back so you can take it off like a regular bra. I find it tts, but some people think it runs small (IMO it's a sports bra so it's meant to be tight for the best support.).

I can't really offer suggestions for other clothing as I work out at home in just the bra, short loose shorts, and sneakers.....

I am really liking what I see from Lucy. Their stuff is just kinda pretty and not so techy which I like some days. I like Reebok yoga pants and capris just because they fit my curves best. I have Brooks running shoes because they fit my wider front foot and narrow heel. I am baffled by sports bras and got stuck trying one on that didn't have hooks. I thought I was going to have to hit the assistance button in the fitting room!! How do you ladies get in these things on a daily basis?

Edited out. - double post

I love Lucy (heh). They've got really high quality stuff. It's a little pricey, although probably not as much as Lululemon, but really sturdy. I've got some capris from them that are probably 10 years old and still look new.

I agree with the Title 9 recommendation for finding sports bras - get on their mailing list and they'll send you a big catalog with all their bra options by feature.

Somebody mentioned Lorna Jane - one of our local malls just got one of their stores. I don't know if they're in your area yet, but apparently they're expanding into the US.

For outdoorsy stuff, like jackets, hiking pants, that sort of thing, I tend to get them from Eddie Bauer. Their line of Travex works well for both gear and casual/travel, kind of like the less gear-y stuff from Athleta.

Lululemon has some great compression shorts on sale right now -- I think they're called "Sculpt" Shorts. They're more bike-short length than hot-pants length. Double as modesty shorts under skirts/dresses! They're my first and only LL purchase and I'm pretty impressed.

For winter pants, I pretty much always wear the fleece-lined stretchy trousers from Uniqlo. They're trousers, not tights, so better for walking/hiking than running. For tights I've always like Under Armour ColdGear. But I have my eye on the new REI Coop leggings to replace my ratty old running tights.

Up top, I alternate between Eddie Bauer microfleece 1/4-zip (which can usually be had on sale for <$20) and an Ibex Hooded Indie, which is probably my favourite cold-weather gear top ever. Exceptional hood and super-soft merino. Always a merino tee or camisole underneath. I'm a huge Ibex fangirl, though their sizing is inconsistent.
