When it comes to fitness, there’s an assortment of workouts to choose from, including Pilates, HIIT, spin and barre, to name a few. Almost every kind only requires one kind of outfit — the workout kind — and they’ve come a long way since the oversized T-shirts and gym shorts you wore in high school. Workout apparel has become a fashion statement.
In fact, wearing workout gear outside the gym is pretty much the norm, as today’s trendiest styles are as much meant to be seen inside the gym as they are outside of it. But, the cutest styles are sometimes the ones with the heftiest price tags, and we don’t think you should have to pay an exorbitant amount to look cute when you’re working out or on the go.
So, we’ve rounded up our favorite brands for the “best in” whatever it is you’re looking for in workout gear including styles of tops, jackets and leggings for women of every size and stage of life that aren’t just affordable — they’re well-made, super cute and totally rad, too.
