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
Get the outfit from Backcountry for $66 (for the top; available in sizes XS-XL and in four colors) and $97 (for the leggings; available in sizes XS-XXL and in four colors) or Beyond Yoga for $66 (for the top; available in sizes XS-3X and in 14 colors) and $97 (for the leggings; available in sizes XXS-3X and in 14 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 $20.98 (available in sizes XS-3X and in 91 lengths, colors, and styles).
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." —Amazon Customer

Girlfriend Collective is a favorite on our team — I actually have three pairs of these leggings and love them so much. They are compressive without making my legs feel like sausages and stay in place during my most intense workouts. I've been recommending them to all my friends because they leggings (and the company behind them) are great.
BuzzFeed editor Melanie Aman says: "Right off the bat, I was impressed by how buttery soft these leggings were. They're super stretchy (definitely squat-proof!) and supportive without being constricting. And at $68, they're a total steal given how high-quality they are. I usually wear them for low-impact workouts, like Pilates and yoga (and lounging on the couch), but they didn't let me down during high-impact HIIT cardio classes either. The material is really breathable so even though I'm sweating a lot during my workouts, the leggings don't get swampy."
Get them from Girlfriend Collective for $68 (available in sizes XXS-6X, three lengths, and nine colors).

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 $22.99 (available in sizes S-XXL and in 13 colors).
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly says: This was me hiking last summer in Santorini posing for a photo op. It felt like a looong hike (I don't hike often, OK?). Despite POURING In sweat and walking up pretty steep inclines, my leggings did not bunch or roll. I've worn them what I guess is 50+ times since both for running errands in my hood and for actual workouts. They're super comfy, wash well (I send them out for wash and fold laundry service, which can be rough on clothes), are seamless all over, and flatten the look of my stomach (if that's a concern) without making me feeling like I'm in a sausage casing. They're my nicest pair of leggings and honestly, I could wear them almost every day in quarantine. And if anyone is wondering, I bought an Oreo ice cream sandwich and wine at the end of that picturesque hike."
Get them from Spanx for $78 (available i sizes XS-3X).
Promising review: "Wow this is my new favorite workout set!! It’s stretchy but is also form fitting and flattering! The material is great quality and the leggings stay in place when you run! I’m going to order in every color!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes S—L and 12 colors).
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
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in sizes XS-4XL and in 15 colors).
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 $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors and patterns).
P.S. These are also our BuzzFeed Reviews pick for best inexpensive leggings!
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
Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in sizes XS-XL and in 13 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these, and I've bought three now! It has been a chilly, damp winter, and the fleece lining, zip collar, and thumbholes help keep you warm until you warm up from activity, and even then I usually don't get too warm where I have to take it off before I get back home. I also love the big hoodie-style pocket and that it zips securely on both ends — it is more than enough room for a large phone, keys, snacks, and water if you really wanted to lug all that stuff around. And of course, the colors are all great." —P. Flores
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes XS-3X and in nine colors).
BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord says: These shorts come in a bazillion rotating colors because they sell out so quickly you might blink and miss them. I own a pair in pink (that is me being v cheeky above) and can confirm that they are so comfortable that I genuinely had to look down and make sure I wasn't naked a few times, but still opaque enough to venture out into the world without worrying about everyone seeing your booty. I probably own 10 pairs of bike shorts now (don't look at me), and these are the comfiest by far."

Promising review: "I love the fit and comfort. The material is not sticky at all. I'm wearing it in hot muggy weather to play golf and have no problems at all." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in sizes XS—XXL and 12 colors).
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. The yellow color is everything!" —FATIMA
Get it from Aerie for $39.95 (available in sizes XXS-XXL and in four colors).
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

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 sizes XS-3X and in 11 colors).
Promising review: "I am obsessed with these leggings. I have four pairs, and I practically live in them. I panic when I am down to my last pair and immediately go do laundry! They are so so comfortable and stretchy without being see-through. I am going to buy the capri version as well." —Jennifer T

I learned about Roam Loud from a suggestion in a Facebook workout group that I'm in. I was eager to try the gear, as it's relatively inexpensive and Black-woman owned. I mean a bra and leggings for less than $100 is a pretty good deal in my book. The set is a little different color than it looks on the website, but it's still a rich blue that looks really good. I've worn it a few times to take pretty intense HIIT and weight-lifting classes, and it has held up great. It makes me feel confident and strong — and the color really doesn't show sweat stains (the picture above was taken not long after I finished my workout). I opted to size up, but both the leggings are bra are so stretchy, that your regular size will work.
Get the set from Roam Loud for $65.99 (available in sizes S-L).
Promising review: "I run half marathons and have DDD boobs and a small frame. I was getting crazy burn marks from other sports bras with underwire. This is amazing. For me, it fits around the ribs (I got the 32E) and the bra band stays in place, doesn't move, really holds my breasts down, and fits comfortably. Everyone that sees it thinks it's such a cute design and the back is cute too. I have one in pink and black. I just bought the one in blue tonight. You also can't beat this price. Highly recommend this sports bra! They're all I wear to workout (I do HIIT, yoga, boot camp type activities, and train/run half-marathons)." —jacquelyn Keeley
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 32A–40E and in eight colors).
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 $17.99 (available in sizes XS—XL and 22 colors and styles).
I also own this dress, and I have to agree with everything Rachel says about it. I've worn it a few times to play tennis, and the bodysuit with shorts underneath make it super easy to hold extra balls. It is a bit of a hassle to go to the bathroom — but it's worth it for how cute and comfortable this number is.
BuzzFeed editor Rachel Dunkel says: "I wore the exercise dress on a camping trip and absolutely loved it. It's tight enough that you feel agile but not SO tight that it's restricting. It was great for hiking, too! I even scaled some big ole' rocks and exposed mountain faces, and it fared really well. Despite me literally sliding down a giant rock on my butt, the dress never got caught, ripped, or showed wear. It's a trooper."
Get it from Outdoor Voices for $100 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors).
Promising review: I usually wear full-length leggings and this time I decided to try cropped ones. I really like the color of these leggings and how they fit! The pocket on the side is useful to put my keys or phone when I take a walk with my dog. The material is good quality, and they are definitely a great buy for the price I paid! I highly recommend them!" —Iriskaamerica

This track jacket is basically the only jacket I've been wearing this summer and early fall. It is lightweight, but it keeps me comfortable. I like to wear it when I go for walks outside, in case it starts to rain out of nowhere (it has happened before) because it is water-resistant. Plus, if I get too hot outside, I usually just tie it around my waist. But it also could easily be packed into a small bag. If I hiked, I would say that it would be good for that too — but that's only an assumption because I am not a hiker. I also do enjoy just wearing it around the house to keep me the perfect temperature while WFH. The color is also ah-mazing, and I love that it's sustainable and made from recycled materials.
Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $128 (available in women's sizes XXS-6X and in six colors).
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
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes S-L and in seven color variations).
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 it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S-3XL and six bra combinations in packs of two, three, or five).
Promising review: "These really are the perfect leggings, and I stock up every anniversary sale. They are comfortable, yet still function for workouts and errands. Plus, they are thick and completely opaque. They look great!" — Kat5kid

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 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 $21.95 (available in sizes XS-XXL and in five patterns).
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 $24.99 (available in sizes S-XXL and in 18 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I just love everything about these. They’re comfortable, and I feel sexy in them. Definitely turns up the motivation to go to the gym. At first, I ordered a large but was surprised that I’m actually a medium. They fit great and hold up well in the gym." —Amazon Customer
