Promising review: "I rely on reviews to decide on everything I buy, so I thought I’d help a sister out! I just got these in the mail and tried them on and I’m so impressed! I’ve been eyeing these shirts for a while and finally decided to buy them, and I’m so glad I did. Based on the reviews, I was a little unsure about sizing, but I went with my normal small. In my opinion, they're very true to size. The material is soft and not constricting. They are a tad long, but I have a pretty short torso. I’d size up for a looser fit and down if you’re looking for a tight fit. Overall I’m happy, and I think $20 for three shirts is a steal!" —Shelby Jordan

Promising review: "This little workout bra is not only super cute on, but it actually supports a lot better than it's advertised to do. I didn't think I'd be able to wear this for a workout and bought it more for around the house. But once I got it, it became obvious I could wear it to the gym. I have run in this (and I'm a 34C), done burpees, box jumps, etc., and everything stays put with no pain. I've had a ton of compliments and two other people have ordered since. I tried one just to see how it fit and then immediately ordered two more." —Jasmine

Promising review: "I love this so much. It's hands down the best sports bra I’ve ever owned. It runs a tiny bit small, so I sized up one size, and it is still so supportive. It’s so flattering with the long line. That’s actually long and not just an extra-wide strap. I’m ordering more as soon as more colors are available." —Jenna May

Promising review: "I tried these out with low expectations, but they really surprised me. There is almost no difference between these pants and other name-brand ones, other than they are half the price. I bought my normal size and they fit perfectly. I didn't measure the inseam, but I wear 35-36 inseam and they are perfect. I love them!" —Jean

Promising review: "I work out five days a week and have for 20 years. I am pretty picky about my workout clothes. This is the best workout shirt I have found at a good price!! if you want to show off those sexy shoulders, this shirt is a must! I love the feel of the fabric and it is nice and thin, not too bulky! I like to tie it in the back but it can be left untied too." —Crista
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in women's sizes XS-XL and 22 colors and styles).
Promising review: "I love these! I am definitely not a crop top type of girl, but I decided to try these out for the gym since I like something that doesn’t move too much when I run or lift. With high-waisted leggings, these barely show any skin and are extremely breathable and comfortable." —Desi Brown

Promising review: "These are amazinggggg! So buttery soft and comfortable. A lot of shorts ride up and move around while working out, but these did not. So soft and comfy. I want to get more for workouts and just hanging out. I LOVE these. They look just like the picture and fit perfectly." —Jennifer
Get them from Amazon for $20.95 (available in women's sizes XS-XXL and in 13 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "These are so cute and comfy! I wear them to lounge around the house and workout. They are not see-through, and they have held up nicely through the wash. I usually wear a small, but I went up a size just in case. I would recommend it going up a size, as they fit perfectly in length and around the waist, but aren’t super tight in the legs. If I had ordered my normal size, they would’ve fit like leggings. Great price for great pants!" —Lexi Sandgren

I recently ordered this top to see what the hype was all about, and, let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The top is so comfortable and hits right where my high-waisted leggings end, which means there's no extra fabric around my waist. The top is great for low-impact workouts — but I also love to wear it every day because it eliminates the need to wear a sports bra and a tank top, so it's perfect to layer under sweatshirts and even sweaters.
Promising review: "This top is so cute and comfortable! It works best for yoga and low-intensity workouts, but I have worn it during high-intensity workouts, and it stays put (I do have a smaller chest). Also, it is great quality and very soft." —Emily Mahn
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes S-XXL and in 19 colors).
Promising review: "OMG, this is the BEST workout top EVER! I'm really busty (38DD) and have always struggled to find sports bras that really hold the girls down but won't come undone (like the zip-up ones). It hugs you tight on top and is supportive enough that you feel secure, and is loose at the bottom, so it's not tight around your midsection. Size up if you're busty like me! I normally wear a L but decided to buy an XL due to others' advice and it fits perfectly. I'm going to buy more, I love it so much!" —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in women's sizes S-XXL and in 17 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "Alright, I've had this bra for about a year now (it was actually my first from LIVELY and the kick-starter to my love affair). As a woman who suddenly and rapidly had to adjust to larger breasts from a young age, I had never felt comfortable with my chest or anything I tried to strap on to it. UNTIL THIS BEAUT'. You wouldn't think it would be as supportive or just downright comfy without the padding or wire or anything else I had been told I couldn't live without, but it IS supportive and functional and practical — an everyday staple for me, really — and the softness and simplicity of this bra totally changed the way I approach supporting my own body." —Reese
Get it from Lively for $35 (available in sizes XS-L).
Promising review: "These leggings are perfect. They’re not see-through at all, very stretchy without being straight Spandex, and true to color. The seams are in comfortable places and the waistband is great. I buy a lot of leggings, and this is now my go-to source." —Devon Borokoff
Get them from Amazon for $20.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 20+ colors and patterns).

The bra machine-washable and is 95% cotton / 5% spandex.
Promising review: "These are the best sports bras EVER! They actually give you enough support and don't give me uni-boob! Plus, they're so much easier to get on as opposed to regular sports bras that are basically a workout to put on over your head and unroll to fit. I can’t wait to buy more soon!" —Stacey D Belt
Get it rom Amazon for $9.97 (available in women's sizes 34–48 and seven colors).
Promising review (for the top): "I can't stop wearing this — I'm obsessed with the fabric. It's a perfect crop length to pair with high-waisted leggings and/or high waisted denim. I love a good built-in bra tank as well." —Maddie Anzovino
Promising review (for the leggings): "I already have one pair of these and had to get a second. These are my favorite leggings. I use them for everything — hiking, running, camping, groceries, etc. They are too warm for the gym, but I use them for everything else!" —Phoebe

Senita Athletics is a woman-owned business that has been creating affordable and functional activewear since 2015. The products are designed with small details, such as pockets on the sides of most of their leggings and shorts and back pocket on the sports bra that fits a phone. The bra also has removable cups and is wire-free.
Promising review: "I bought this sports bra after hearing so many people rave about it, and I'm so glad that I did! I now have this bra in two colors, and they are so comfy with and without the pads. I wear them for running because of their ability to handle impact, but the pocket is also a great feature! I am a 32 C and a small fit perfectly, without the bottom strap being tight around my rib cage." —Amanda
Get it from Senita Athletics for $23 (originally $26; available in sizes XS-L and in 10 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I want 100 pairs of these, and I want to wear nothing else ever again! The fit is perfect. Sometimes it can be a challenge to find sweats that don't make me look like a shapeless bowl of oatmeal. They shrink just a tiny bit in the first wash. They're comfortable and look nice without looking like sloppy sweats. The pockets are a plus! I wear these every chance I get. I wish they had more colors. I hesitated at first because they seemed a bit spendy for sweat pants, but it was well worth it." —Daphne Moon
Get them from Amazon for $25.49 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 21 colors).
Reviewers say the shirt runs small and suggest ordering a size up.
Promising review: "We just got back from a vacation in Utah where we hiked nonstop for a week. I have never worn a long-sleeved shirt to hike in when it is warm, but this one was fantastic. Even though I packed other shirts, I kept washing this shirt in the sink, hanging it up to let it air-dry, and wearing it the next day. Unfortunately, all my pictures look like I only have one outfit, so I intend to order a couple more in different colors. It's much better than having to use sunscreen all day long." —callie2
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (available in women's sizes XS-3X and in 11 colors).
Promising review: "This is my first pair of Align leggings, and they are by far my favorite. As a fitness professional, I live in athletic wear. These leggings fit like a dream, hug in all the right places, yet feel like I'm wearing nothing at all!" —livintheburg
Get them from Lululemon for $88 (available in sizes 0-14, three lengths, and in 15 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I'm a stylist and have been trying on many, many Amazon leggings for fit. These are the best for my curvy hips and a smaller waist. I am about a size 12, and these are not too thick but have compression. The feel is GREAT. They seem very high quality. They are so completely comfortable I am wearing them without something covering my butt, for the first time in about a year. (These show off my curves!) I'm wearing a size L and am now shopping for several other pairs!!." —Auretha, Soul Stylist
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in women's sizes XS-XL and in 18 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "This dress is absolutely AMAZING. I have to admit, I was skeptical. I didn't think a dress could be cute and still be comfortable/functional for exercise. I was so wrong!!! I've worn this running, hiking, walking, and rock climbing, and it's been amazing for every activity. It keeps me cool, and it's incredibly versatile. I can't wait to buy it in more colors!" —Ashley
Get it from Outdoor Voices for $100 (available in sizes XS–XL and eight colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I love this shirt. I've been taking fitness more seriously the last few months and finally got around to replacing all of my old activewear. It's just loose enough that I don't have to adjust it while I'm working out and also provides nice cleavage coverage. It's extremely soft and has good-sized arm holes. The navy color is deep and beautiful." —Edith Harmony
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in sizes XS-XL and 17 colors).
Promising review: "These are great shirts. I use them for jujitsu, and I don't have to worry that they will ride up when I'm rolling. I also wear them as an overshirt for CrossFit. They are lightweight and soft. They definitely run small. I usually wear a medium and got a large, they are still a bit tight. 5'6"/155lbs/athletic build." —Avid Shopper
Get them from Amazon for $32.96 (available in women's sizes S–2XL and 17 color combinations).
Promising review: "I love these leggings!! I’m a personal trainer, and I wear leggings all day, every day, so I’ve gotten to the point where I’m super picky about them. I ordered a pair after admiring these on a coworker — and learning of the very affordable price! I loved them so much that I went back for three more pairs. They are sooooo comfortable, excellent quality for the price, and definitely squat-proof (not see-through!). But my favorite thing is the magical little scrunch at the bum that actually gives my tiny, ectomorph bum the roundness and pop that I have been working towards! When I wear them, I just want to stare at my own butt because I can’t believe how good it looks! I think the four pairs I have right now are not enough so I’m gonna have to get some more colors. I LOVE THESE LEGGINGS 🍑🔥🍑🔥🍑🔥" —Jill Hill
Get them from Amazon for $26.99 (available in sizes XS-4X and in 47 colors and styles).
Promising review: "I teach fitness classes multiple times per week. This is my go-to top! I have it in six colors. I love the cut on the arm opening up to the neck. Also, the arm opening is low enough to show off a cute sports bra while also being loose enough to maintain appropriateness while 'working.' They wash and dry really well too. It fits true to size." —Ticket81
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $23.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL and 10 color combinations).
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this top and how wonderfully stretchy and double the material is. I love that it comes with a bra inside so you don’t have to worry about that and it’s prefect for day to day but also workouts." —FATIMA
Get it from Aerie for $23.97 (originally $39.95; available in sizes XXS-XXL and in five colors).
Promising review: "I love my shorts so much that I purchased a second and third pair. They are great for my summer walking group. This particular short has pockets for cell phone, keys, or money. I also wear them for spin/circuit-training classes. All the styles I bought have the tummy-control panel and fit high on the waist...PERFECT!!! I totally recommend trying these. I looked in stores all over my area, and couldn't find what I wanted, but I found them on Amazon." —jme
Get them from Amazon for $19.98 (available in women's sizes XS-3X and in 20+ lengths, colors, and styles).
Promising review: "First of all, I never write reviews unless I really like the product. This is the best sports bra I’ve ever purchased! The sizes are true and it gives me so much support! I’m big-chested and the medium is perfect." —Chelsey
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $37.99 (available in women's sizes S-3XL and six bra combinations in packs of two, three, or five).
Promising review: "These are my new favorite workout pants! They are so comfortable, look and feel great and, have two side pockets. Those side pockets fit my iPhone comfortably and there is plenty of room left. It’s so practical. I think they run a little big and the fabric is also kind of stretchy. I could probably go with one smaller size and still be fine. I like it how it is, but it is something to consider. I'm definitely going to order more!" —Jessica Anne

Promising review: "I love these shirts! I've been looking for a good workout shirt that doesn't cling around the middle. Not only did this one fit the bill, but it's also about two inches longer than the Champion shirts that I bought for more money. They are incredibly comfortable to work out in but also just look like a regular nonathletic shirt. I don't have any problem wearing them out of the gym and feeling like I have normal street clothes on. And this is much more comfortable than normal street clothes!! I highly recommend!" —Mom-of-Two

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Elena Garcia loves these leggings. You can read her whole review of Zella Live In High Waist leggings here.
Promising review: "These are GREAT! They're made of a super-soft material and are perfect for working out. They are by no means 'compression' material but are great for keeping you cool while exercising. I'm usually XS, but the small fits well. They're not skintight but do cling nicely to my figure. I'm in love!" —Leah
