Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A pair of seamless scrunch leggings that'll hug your lower body *just* right. 😍 These come with a high waistband for ultimate comfort and material that gives you the perfect combination of softness and stretchiness.
Promising review: "I found these through TikTok and bought a pair ASAP! The Alphalete ones are around $70 and the reviews for these on TikTok were amazing so I was quick to buy a pair! They are pretty similar to the Alphalete ones as well, but seem a bit thicker which I prefer and have a tiny bit bigger scrunch. They are super stretchy too so if you’re between sizes, go for the smaller size! They also came a lot faster than expected, so now I’m back to buy more colors and am super excited!" —Nichole
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS—XL and in dozens of colors and multipacks).
2. Or moisture-wicking high-waisted leggings designed with stretchy, peachy-smooth fabric and light compression. They come in many vibrant colors *and* many reviewers can attest to them *not* being see-through!
Promising review: "Love these leggings so much that I went back to buy them in more colors. The pants do not sag, which is a big deal! I've had so many leggings sag with just walking around and it's annoying to keep hiking them up every ten min. These leggings stay put! Very comfortable, soft and stretchy. They are not see through when bent over. Fits true to size." —anonymous
Get them from Old Navy for $14.47+ (originally $34.99; available in sizes XS—4X and in 11 styles).
3. OR! A pair of breathable high-waisted leggings with moisture-wicking, fleece-lined material that might just make it easier for you to convince yourself to get your workout in during this chilly time of year. They also have a hidden waistband pocket!
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I bought this pair of leggings initially so I could have something warm and comfortable to wear while working at home that wasn't just a pair of sweatpants — they ended up becoming a staple of my workout wardrobe too! I ended up getting two more pairs in the no-pocket style so I can cycle through them during the week for my outdoor walks/runs. Fit-wise, if you're not looking for something super-snug, I'd suggest going a size up. The legs are a little long on me, but I'm short (5'1") and I'm used to things being a little long on me. My only gripe about these is that the side pocket isn't anywhere near big enough to hold my phone, but I've got a huge phone, so I'm used to it not fitting in pockets easily. Long story short: I love these, and if you're looking for warm leggings, either for working out or for lounging around the house, you should get a pair of these." —Beth Lynn Nolen
Get it from Amazon for $30.59+ (available in sizes XS–3XL, in 24 colors, and in two different pocket options).
4. A pair of reviewer-beloved The Gym People joggers, which have a tapered design and a stretchy waistband that'll probably make them one of the most reached-for pieces in your closet. And let's not forget the side pockets. 😍
Promising reviews: "I love these pants! I have several pairs and a few different colors. I wear them to the gym, errands, and for lounging. I have both mediums and larges, depending on how I'm feeling on the day. I honestly wear these so much that I consider them to be somewhat of a 'uniform,' a staple for a grab and go, cute but casual and put together outfit." —Pam
"I LOVE THEM! I heard on TikTok that these pants were [like Lululemon] and I believe it! They are so well made and SO soft I got more after I tried on the first pair. I have bigger thighs so I was worried about the leggings looking too tight but they we awesome, maybe just a bit loose on the calves for me but otherwise AMAZING." —Kklunker
Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS—XXL and in 16 colors).
5. A lightweight cropped jacket, because who said a workout outfit can't look effortlessly stylish? With thumbholes, sleek material, and a curved hemline, you'll be looking too good *not* to show off at the gym.
Promising reviews: "This is one of the viral TikTok jackets and it is very figure-fitting and cute. Has good stretch. I got an XL because I’m busty. Fits perfect and will also be cute with tights or slim fit jeans." —Amazon Customer
"I do indoor cycling and the room is usually very cold when we get in, I needed something light, and colorful but not bulky. This is the perfect lightweight workout jacket! The fabric feels high quality and the design is beautiful." —Patricia Ibarra
Get it from Amazon for $23.90 (available in sizes XS—XXL and in 13 colors).
6. Or a full-length slim-fit jacket for the perfect super soft layer of warmth. This one's got pockets (!) and is made of thick, stretchy material. See ya at Pilates!
Promising reviews: "I saw on TikTok this was a Lulemon dup so I had to try it. Overall it fits nicely. I highly recommend this jacket." —Angela_SDG
"Buttery soft! I don’t have the exact Lululemon sweater but I believe this is as close as it gets! It’s such a nice and soft material, keep me warming during the whole time I’m wearing it. And it fits perfectly. So glad I got this instead of paying for the branded one which cost double. Highly recommended!!" —May Chubbi
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes XS—XL and in 18 colors).
7. A pair of super cute flared leggings that many reviewers are comparing to the beloved Aerie ones! They're made of buttery soft material and have a crossover waistband to accentuate your figure. Talk about an elegant upgrade to your workout ensemble. 😍
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Click buy now. Just do it. You are gonna want these in black and maybe every other color too. After wearing them a few times, I am hooked and very confident when I say that YOU WANT THESE! Even if you are on the fence and not overly impressed as soon as you open the package, just put them on. Walk around for a little bit, maybe walk past your significant other (or a full-length mirror), and hear the praise! Then, you will understand!! These are confidence-boosting and booty essentials! I need more!" —Briar
Get them from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes XS—XXL, four inseam styles, and 23 colors).
8. Or a high-stretch, sweat-wicking flared jumpsuit if you prefer the comfort of a one-piece. This one has adjustable straps, a cottony soft feel, and a low-back design to show off those budding back muscles. 😉
Plus, many reviewers rave about how tall girl friendly it is!
Promising review: "This jumpsuit is so cute, I bought the black at first and fell in love with it. I ended up buying three more in other colors. They’re thick quality and very versatile, you can wear to the gym or even layer with a sweater. I got so many compliments on it already. Literally don’t hesitate, just get it lol." —Jordan L
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S—XL, two inseam lengths, and 14 colors).
9. A flexible cropped tank with a padded bra because it has over 40,000 5-star ratings and a lightweight, moisture-wicking power fabric that's perfect for your next yoga sesh (or to pair with your favorite jeans for a casual sunny day).
I tried this tank out for the first time a couple of years ago (that's me in the first pic shown above!) and when I tell you I have bought almost every. single. color. I am not exaggerating. It's the perfect versatile essential to have in your wardrobe. Do size up though!
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising reviews: "I first bought it in black and absolutely loved it! Ordered two more in white and burnt red. As other reviews said, size up. I am 5'3" 120 lbs 32D with an athletic build. Medium fit perfectly and sits right above my belly button. I probably could have gone with a small, but wanted it to fit a little longer. I plan to use these when working out and for daily use in the summer. Also they're super soft! Loved this quality much more over my Lululemon Align tops." —Claudia
Get it from Amazon for $17.24+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors).
10. Or a long-line sports bra with a classic V-neckline. It's made of sweat-wicking fabric and goes with, well, anything! Pair it with your fave biker shorts or leggings, and you'll be able to go straight from your errand-packed morning to your afternoon spin class.
This sports bra/top combo comes with all the functional features you'd like: removable pads, a comfy and stretchy design, and fabric that won't leave you feeling like a sweat puddle during workouts.
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I never, never, never, leave reviews on products, but with this one, it's well worth it and I haven't even worked out in it yet! I'm a 36DD (I ordered a large for reference), so finding a good supportive sports bra can be a bit difficult to find. I found this one the way a Gen Z'er does: TikTok. This sports bra can even double as a tank top if you're running from the gym to get coffee or to home, so it's absolutely perfect! It's such a cute top and I can't wait to see how well it supports my workouts! I bought it in dusty blue and I'll be back for more of the colors!" —Robert
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 14 colors).
11. A stretchy pair of extra high-rise compressive leggings, aka your new favorite leggings for high-impact workouts! And here's a bonus — they're sustainable and made from 79% recycled plastic bottles.
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Do ittt. These leggings are a staple. Versatile enough to wear out and/or to work out in. They hold everything in, stay up, and are squat proof. 👏🏼👏🏼 I have pairs in six colors, so, safe to say I’m a fan." —Stacey N.
Get them from The Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS—6XL, three lengths, and 12 colors).
12. A pair of high-waisted squat-proof biker shorts that feature two side pockets and super soft, flexible material for maximum mobility. Perfect to pair with an oversized hoodie, sports bra, or a cute cropped tank! Plus, they come in different inseam length options and colors.
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising reviews: "Okay, I found this brand through TikTok lol. She claimed it was as good as Lululemon. SO I had to order a pair! I received on time, fits like butter. Super soft, not see through. SQUAT PROOF! Yes! I immediately order a second pair. Awesome price point too!" —Maribel
"Oh, I love these biker shorts! I am not somebody that has typically worn biker shorts in the past, and this was one of the first pairs that I purchased. I think that these are very high-quality for the price. The material is very soft, but it is not see-through and the shorts stay in place during my workouts. I have since bought these biker shorts in about six different colors." —Madi R.
Get them from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in sizes XS—XXL, three inseam styles, and 18 colors).
13. Or a pair of moisture-wicking high-rise biker shorts with *hidden* pockets and an array of fun pattern options. These offer a little extra compression and will have you reaching for them for gym days and beyond!
After reading all the positive reviews for these bike shorts, I decided to buy a pair and put them to the test. They're SO COMFY compared to other compressive activewear. I've worn them for treadmill runs and not once did I have to pull them up at the waist or adjust them around my thighs. If you'd like to switch up your activewear outfit with something that's not leggings, I highly recommend these!
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I have never really been a fan of bike shorts until now! I saw this pair on TikTok and I thought they were so cute. I ran to the comments for the details and ordered them right away. When I received them they looked exactly like the picture and have a very nice, soft fabric for working out. They have become my new favorite shorts. I definitely recommend them!" —Jasmine
Get them from Amazon for $14.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XXL, in sets of two, and in 15 colors and patterns).
14. A stretchy, moisture-wicking V-neck sports bra made with softer-than-soft material, adjustable straps, and just enough support to take you from a lazy morning to an active afternoon.
15. A trendy, lightweight pair of New Balance 608 V5 Cross Trainers that amazed one reviewer with how well they carried them through a full day at Disneyland — and we all know that's the true test of comfort for any pair of shoes. They're made with minimal interior seaming and are lined with supportive foam inserts so that they can keep you going through your entire sweat sesh.
Prime members: You can try before you buy!
Promising reviews: "New Balance is my go-to brand. They fit well, and are comfortable to walk in. They're the one brand I can wear that truly fits my wide feet; they're study, and hold up to constant wear. This particular pair is a double-winner - the expected high quality product, and I got a huge discount for buying a 'used, like new' pair from Amazon. They're in mint condition, and were packaged well. Glad I went for the sale!" —Knitting Granma
"Actually saw these in a TikTok and came right here to buy them. I’ve been wearing these sneakers for two months now and had to come back to leave a review. I love them! I wear them almost every morning on my 2-mile walk. They are very cute and comfy." —Taryn
Get them from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in sizes 5–12, including narrow and wide sizes, and three styles).
16. A form-fitting cotton stretch long sleeve if you're a yogi who likes to start class with a light top layer, or if you're just looking for clothing pieces that'll let you lift at the gym without feeling restricted. It's also just a great basic top to have in your wardrobe!
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Amazing quality, really thick material — the black is not see through which I was concerned about! I would say size up as I'm usually an XS but the S fits me perfectly, it is figure-fitting rather than loose." —Georgia
Get it from Adanola for $60 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and in four colors).
17. Or a soft-as-a-cloud Halara cropped long-sleeve sports top, which is made with four-way stretch fabric and comes in many beautiful colors. Are you on your way to yoga class? Are you gonna pair it with some cute jeans and go to brunch? The world may never know. Either way, you're ready for both. 😉
Promising review: "Fun alternative top to wear at dance class. Gives “all that jazz” vibes while still giving coverage to the arms. Padded bust means you don’t have to wear a sports bra under it!" —e**m
Get it from Halara for $29.95+ (originally $39.95+; available in sizes XS–XL, in cropped and long styles, and in seven colors).
18. A pair of super breathable running shorts because they give you top-notch comfort and mobility. These come with an elastic waistband, a relaxed fit, and drumroll, please... side pockets!
Check them out on TikTok.
Promising review: "Love love love these!!! I will definitely be buying more when summer comes back around! They run true to size and are so comfortable! I love the side pocket with the zipper it holds my iPhone plus and keys! The material is so soft and breathable has the perfect amount of stretch in the under lining. Plus they make my booty look amazing, my other half loves them too! Ladies I’m telling you buy them, you’ll find that they are your go to shorts!" —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS—3XL and in 36 colors).
19. A sweat-absorbing workout romper with adjustable straps and stretchy fabric that'll hug your body so beautifully, you might just want to add on another rep just because of how good you look doing it.
Promising reviews: "I got the bodysuit in the nutmeg color and I’m obsessed with it so I ordered it in black too. I feel cute and comfy in it. I do have a small waist with a big butt however the adjustable shoulder straps help it to feel like I get a little better fit. I’m between a medium and large but went with the large both times because I didn’t want the seam around the thighs to be too tight." —Lyndsey
"I am 6’0” and these things never fit me because I am so tall. I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. The material is super stretchy and soft, and the straps are adjustable. It fits like a glove, no uncomfortable seams, and isn’t see through AT ALL. I will definitely order more in other colors." —Alyssa Kay
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes XS—XL and in 13 colors).
20. A pack of seamless racerback cropped camis, which have just enough light support for a yoga, pilates, or barre class. Its soft rib-knit design also makes it the perfect lightweight layer piece.
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "I bought these to work out and cycle in and just wear around the house. I bought the mid-length style and I really love wearing them. They offer support, but not like a bra. They also don’t poke or feel binding like a bra. They don’t roll up and they are a nice weight. They don’t feel wet even when I'm sweating. They also dry quickly. I actually bought three sets of them so I would have color options and not have to wash them so much. I take them camping and I find myself wearing them in a variety of situations. I will absolutely replace them if and when I need to!" —AJ
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $23.18+ (available in sizes XS—XXL and in dozens of styles, fits, and colors).

Promising review: "After starting pilates I wanted something that fell between a light and medium support. Really love this as it was a recommendation from TikTok. Can’t wait to order it in more colors!" —Sarah Reads
Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in sizes XS—XL and in 40 colors).
22. A cozy Lululemon oversized half-zip sweater that works beautifully as a post-workout layer. Because, let's be honest, stepping outside after a sweat sesh without something to protect you from the chilly breeze is *not* the vibe.
Promising review: "Love this half zip. The one I got is such a fun shade of pink. It fits true to size, with a little bit of a roomier sleeve than I expected. That makes it nice though, as it leaves space to wear something underneath if you like and it not feel constricting. The neck can be worn folded down or standing up. The length is to the waist. It is so cute and well made! I probably will buy another color, as this is definitely a versatile piece of clothing that can be worn for exercise or casually out for the day." —Beth
Get it from Lululemon for $118 (available in sizes XS—XXL and in nine colors).
23. A squat-proof, form-fitting unitard made with lightweight, four-way stretch material and a hidden back zip detail. You'll *love* this for exercises that require lots of range of motion, like yoga and pilates! Psst — you can also style it with a puffer jacket and some sneakers for a casual look as we brave the chilly season.
Check it out on TikTok.
Promising review: "This is the most comfortable piece of clothing I've put on my body. I'm only 4"11 and this fit so perfectly! I was pretty sure I would have to end up returning this because unitards never fit my body proportionately, but if you.re a fellow shortie like me just buy it already!" —Caitlin C.
Get it from Adanola for $77 (available in sizes XXS—XXXL and in two colors).
24. High-rise leggings that have become a TikTok staple for a reason. They are breathable, moisture-wicking, and squat-proof. As for reviewers' favorite part? It will make that lovely tush of yours look extra peachy. 🍑
See them on TikTok.
Promising reviews: "Bought as a joke, but had hopes it would do as TikTok said. The material is comfortable and not too sheer. If you wear like hot pink undies, you're gonna see them if you're doing a squat, but otherwise not too sheer. Was very comfortable and holds up after been washed a few times so far. And finally, does make the booty like, amazing. Heads up though, you should wear a thong and pull them up a little higher than usual for the TikTok effect. Otherwise, very happy with my pants :)" —Amazon Customer
"Guys, I kid you not. These are the best textured leggings. The material is PERFECT. Clings onto your legs so good. The sizing is very accurate. Definitely worth the purchase. I will be buying more colors and sports bras to go with these!" —Lyanne
Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes S–4XL, two lengths, and different styles).
25. A pair of oh-so-comfy baggy sweatpants if your gym aesthetic is more on the "just rolled out of bed, still cute tho" side. Wear them on your next jog or over your gym shorts while on your way to hit leg day. Now, those extra chilly days can no longer keep you from sneaking in a sweat sesh.
Promising review: "Definitely run a little big but in a good way. Have been looking for a pair of sweats to lounge around in/wear over gym clothes and these are PERF. I got the gray and am probably gonna buy a few other colors! Haven’t found sweats quite like these!" —Stephanie Jourdan
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S—XXL and in 11 colors).
26. A high ponytail running cap because if you want to rock a high pony while having your face be shielded from the sun at the same time, then you should be able to! This even has UPF 50+ protection and comes with two different openings so that you can wear it with either a mid *or* high ponytail.

Get it from Vimhue on Etsy for $29 (available in 24 colors).
27. A Nike Dri-FIT training dress with built-in shorts and material that flexes with your every movement. Who says cute dresses aren't for the gym?
