Because you live in athleisure now
Photo: Courtesy of the retailers After years of being called a trend, it’s clear that athleisure is simply how we dress now. But, like with all other styles of clothing, there are a lot of things — whether fashion-y bike shorts or activewear designed for peak performance — that don’t come cheap. In fact, when we asked fitness instructors about their favorite workout leggings earlier this year, many of the recommended pairs cost over $90.
$15 at Forever 21 Buy Layer 8 Women’s Workout Legging From $14 DelMonte discovered these even cheaper leggings at TJ Maxx, and her pair is still going strong after eight years. “They withstand exactly the same workout, wear and tear, and weekly washing as my expensive leggings,” she says. While she hasn’t had any issues with her Layer 8 leggings, DelMonte acknowledges that high-end brands do offer a better guarantee of their products’ quality.
$32 at Old Navy Buy Best inexpensive workout shorts Senita Athletics High-Waisted Rio Shorts $22 $22 Founded by a pair of sisters who were also collegiate track-and field-athletes, Senita Athletics is committed to designing affordable workout wear. Sports performance coach and professional golfer Andia Winslow especially likes the brand’s compression shorts, which come in high-waisted and longer inseam styles so she never needs to adjust them while working out.
$13 at Forever 21 Buy Best inexpensive sports bras Forever 21 Low Impact Sports Bra $13 For workouts like yoga or barre where you’re not doing a lot of bouncing around — or if you don’t need a ton of support — you can probably get away with an inexpensive bra, like this one from Forever 21 that comes recommended by two fitness pros. “I get most of my sports bras from Forever 21, believe it or not,” says Becca Pace, a founding instructor at Brrrn.
From $15 at Gap Buy Best inexpensive workout set Hotexy Women’s Workout Set From $26 From $26 “I’m a big workout-set girl,” says Austin. Matching pieces can add up, though, so she often looks on Amazon for affordable sets. She points out that because Amazon is such a huge marketplace. not everything you see is high quality. But she does like this longline-bra and breathable, seamless-legging pairing.
