In honor of me hitting the gym a few times recently (*gasp* what is my husband doing to me?), I put together a little guide of useful and fashionable active wear. I am totally fine going in an old t-shirt and exercise pants, but if I wanted some sensibly priced and fashionable options, I’m glad I found some below!
Comfort, style, and an iPod pocket – score.
Ooh but for those that don’t want to rock just a sports bra (me included, not everyone is allowed to see my tummy now), I found some great options from Alo, like the one below for $24.
I love how some workout tops can actually be worn as “regular” clothes – seriously double duty clothing rocks. Hey, it’s always nice to have options besides my h.s. musical t-shirt (seriously I was in h.s. a long time ago) when the laundry is piling up.
Workout pants can be pricey, but Overstock has a pretty decent selection under “Loungewear”.
I’d definitely get these Calvin Klein rollover pants and they’re one of the best deals I could find at $27.
How cute are the stripes on these socks? They will also inevitably differentiate between my socks and my husband’s socks.
There are just too many sneakers to choose from, but if I had to have only one pair of sneakers/trainers, they would be cross trainers or running shoes. They are great at absorbing impact from a variety of physical activities and are readily available.
I like Amazon‘s large selection and consistently good prices. These Adidas are simple and classic.
Found for $44.99 here
Darn, I wish I found these before I moved.Nothing is grosser than smelly gym shoes. Keep them dry and smelling fresh with Stuffits. Alternatively, Gold Bond or a talcum powder is always great too!
What’s your workout outfit?
i wear the grodiest tshirts and sweats that i’ve owned for millenia.
i always PLAN to buy workout clothes. but then don’t wanna slap down the cash for something i’m just gonna sweat all over.
This is precisely why I workout in the privacy of my own home – my gym clothes most definitely don’t need to be seen by anyone other than my family. And, you know, I don’t want to sweat in front of cute boys either. But if I had that cute Alo top…well, maybe then I’d give it a whirl!! 🙂
Haha, I still wear some of my workout clothes from when I was on my high school’s swim team – it’s so sad! I love that top – very cute! I
oh love the top from alo, now I only need to start exercising… right…
Those stuffits look interesting! And I love that Alo top!
i wear the oldest clothes that i have when i go to th gym haha!
…nice alternatives! I usually look like a 12 year old boy when I work out lol
My workout clothes… volleyball long sleeve, sports bra, and spandex, haha.
i run so my workout outfits are a tad different.
i can’t get over that first top. looks like something you wear out…clubbing! haha. cute though.
I would totally wear that top out with a nice pair of jeans. hehe.
Those stuffit things are hilarious!
love those calvin rollovers! ugh i so have to try to find some time to get to the gym. this is getting depressing. it’s really impossible!
