1. A matching sports bra and leggings outfit, because you'll be ~set~ when your BFF asks if you want to go to the gym and lounge outside after. This snakeskin-printed duo is also adored by fitness instructors!
Promising reviews: "As a fitness instructor, I’m always looking for cute workout clothes that are functional. This holds up during HIIT, weightlifting, mixed martial arts, etc! Plus, I’ve received a lot of compliments 😁." —Kristin Giles
"Loved the tan color and subtle print. I decided to go with size Medium. The sports bra fit me perfectly! The pants are comfortable, squat-proof, but long, as expected on my shorter body. Not a problem for me. The waistline hugged me perfectly. I am a fitness instructor teaching classes online and I received a ton of compliments. Great outfit, great price!" —Terry J.
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 35 colors and patterns).
2. Or this coordinating set if you're more into a monochromatic look. It'll solve the problem of "I don't know what the heck to wear" when you're trying to squeeze in a HIIT or Pilates session and you have to meet up with someone post-workout.

Lukafit is a Black woman–owned business known for their chic activewear. From squat-proof leggings to moisture-wicking sports bras, each piece combines style and functionality for your fitness routine.
Promising review: "This bra has a beautiful fit and feels wonderful on! The padding in the cups is removable, and the racerback is low enough in the back to give great support and help my posture. It’s fully lined, no uncomfortable seams. I fell in between sizes L and XL (I’m usually a 38DD for reference) so I sized up to XL for comfort, as I mostly do yoga and low-impact workouts and like to wear sports bras around the house. If you fall between sizes and do higher-impact workouts I would size down for a snugger fit. This is THE bra!" —Lukafit Customer
Get them from Lukafit for $40 (available in sizes XS–3XL and in two colors).
4. A twist-front crop top you'll want to slip into for the gym and beyond: it's comfy, comes in a bunch of neutral colors, and shows off your waist. Add in high-rise leggings or bike shorts for an easy and stylish look.
Reviewers love wearing this versatile crop top with other wardrobe staples including high-rise denim and skirts, when they're not working out!
Promising review: "This is a fantastic top! It can be worn with high-waisted skirts or jeans, working out at the gym or for yoga. I love that it is versatile. I wore it at the gym and I am pleased with the fit, it isn't skintight and lightly skims the body." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in sizes XS–3X and in 10 colors).
5. A two-tone bodysuit with long sleeves, a flexible fit, and a *chef's kiss* amazing design that'll get you excited for yoga class and your day ahead. You'll be so comfy in this warm sand and mocha mauve number while you flow from pose to pose.

6. Printed bike shorts so comfy and perfect for hiking, running, and walking. They come in fun patterns (like the leopard-print one below) and have moisture-wicking fabric that'll help you stay dry.
Promising review: "This product is perfect for all outdoor activities! I recently got into bike shorts because I was tired of my thighs chafing when I run, hike, and bike. These shorts are shorter than other bike shorts, but long enough to prevent chafing. The patterns are perfect and vibrant and the cloth is so soft. They are incredibly breathable and comfortable for lounging in, or taking on a long run or bike ride." —Amazon Customer

Some reviewers suggest sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.
Promising review: "Originally ordered a large and ended up exchanging for an extra large. I normally wear a large in shirts but this is tight fitting so I sized up for a slightly looser fit. I love the feel of the shirt. Shipping and the exchange process was fast. Thinking about ordering more colorways." —Nike Customer
Get it from Nike for $35 (available in sizes XS–3X and in seven colors).
8. Soft joggers because you deserve a gym/OOO uniform that channels major athleisure vibes. These pants have a relaxed fit that *feels* like sweats without being too baggy, two front pockets (no more losing your phone), and will go with all your favorite sporty camis, hoodies, and denim jackets.
Promising review: "I wear yoga pants all the time, so I bought these just to switch it up a bit. They are super soft and I would wear them to do errands, or just hang out. They are great for when you want to be really comfortable and stylish and don't want to wear yoga pants." —Andrea Guzman
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 173 colors and styles).
9. An Outdoor Voices exercise dress that'll be there when you want to go hiking and go out for food and drinks. It has built-in shorts for windy weather, straps you can adjust, and a versatile design that's stylish and functional.
BuzzFeeder Rachel Dunkel owns this dress and said: "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 XXS–XL and in 16 colors and patterns).
10. A racer-back floral sports bra with a tech pocket, because you like to listen to music or podcasts during workouts. Located in the back, this slim space will easily fit your smartphone and keep it secure. Plus, it'll add a pop of color to any pair of leggings, bike shorts, or flare pants.

These leggings are available in ombre styles (as shown above) and solid hues!
Promising review: "I love these pants. I wear them for exercising, lounging, and sometimes running errands (with a tunic). I bought these for the woven-in designs in the fabric on the legs and under the cheeks. The color really appealed to me as did the higher waist. The color assortment is great, making these a cut or two above regular yoga pants. There is adequate compression for exercising or cycling." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and in 18 styles).
12. A yellow cropped hoodie you'll wear on repeat for light movement and lounging. The material is so soft and it's a great layering piece for sports bras or tight-fitting crop tops. Go from a soothing stretch or yoga flow right to your couch without having to change at all.
I own this cropped hoodie and it's so versatile! I've worn this piece of clothing for yoga (see me above on the mat!) and lounging indoors. It's SO SOFT, has a raw edge design, and the yellow color looks so cool with whatever joggers or leggings I'm wearing for the day.
Get it from Maaji for $92 (available in sizes S–L).

Promising review: "This sports bra is everything I was hoping for!! It’s provides great support while keeping me looking stylish! I had gotten the small and it fits like a glove!

Promising review: "These are by far my favorite sports bras. I have a large bust size, but a small band and these work so well for me. Secure enough to run in but also comfortable enough to wear for any workout or just under a top with an exposed back. There are no adjustments on the bra so getting it on and off can be a little tricky, especially after a good workout but it is so worth it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28 (available in sizes XS–XL and in 35 colors).

Promising review: "I've worn Aerie leggings for years, and these are the best I have ever owned! They are so ridiculously soft, it literally feels like you're not even wearing pants, but better somehow. These also hardly budge when I move or workout, even through crazy yoga positions. The pockets also keep everything nice and in place, so you don't have to worry about anything falling out of them. If you haven't tried these leggings, you seriously need to get them before they sell out" —Aerie Customer

The over-the-heel fabric is an extra touch, in case you want to cover part of your feet.

Promising review: "My first and definitely not last Girlfriend Collective purchase! Gorgeous color, great support, and compression.

Sides are cut a touch lower so some risk for spillage." –Madalen B.

Promising review: "Bought this to wear at home as pajamas/leisurewear and it’s become a staple in my closet! I got the pink set and they look just like the ad. Not only do I wear it all the time around the house, I have worn the top paired with jeans or leggings out and about too! It’s stretchy, comfortable, and keeps you warm.

I had the idea that in order to get a good sport bra that works for me, I needed to spend a lot of money and I was used to spend twice (or even more) for a bra that did half the job that this one does. It’s comfortable to wear (and easy to take off after working out) and as soon as you put it on you will feel that everything is in place and makes you feel good." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These are great. They do not slide down. They are a bit shiny and look great for going out or working out. I usually use them for dancing, they are so comfortable and stretchy. I was very impressed, especially given the price. Other shiny leggings are all about $100. The expensive ones are more shiny but they snag easily. These do not snag." —RYan Mooney

Promising review: "These leggings have far exceeded my expectations and I’m in love! They are very high-waisted and don’t roll down during HIIT workouts. They are breathable, buttery soft, and squat-proof! They have nice compression so everything is held in place but not too tight that it’s uncomfortable. I have only worn them once, so I have yet to see how they wash up, but I don’t foresee having any issues with that. You can’t beat these leggings at this price!" —kes
