If you want to wear stylish, comfortable workout clothes, but don’t want to drain your bank account to do it, there are ways to accomplish your goal. Let’s face it; having the right yoga pants, jogging shoes, and dance attire can inspire you to get to the gym, track, or dance class. Don’t wear your same old frumpy sweats or non-supportive running shoes. Get to the store and enhance your workout wardrobe by finding cute exercise clothes at these outlets.
Sporting-Goods Store
Of course, your local sporting-goods store will have a little bit of everything for biking, hiking, jogging, dance class, and/or yoga. In order to get the best prices, check the sales and clearance racks for:
- Shoes for every sport
- Sports bras
- Yoga pants
- Ball caps
- Padded socks
Discount Designer Stores
Your favorite discount stores that carry designer clothing for dressy and casual events also have attire for sports. These shops are especially great places to find:
- General active wear
- Yoga clothes
- Shorts and shirts for joggers
- Athletic shoes
- Sports socks
The Mall
You probably think of your local mall as too pricey for buying workout wear on the cheap, but think again. Even full-price retail shops often have some great deals if you check out their end-of-season-sale racks and clearance bins. At the mall, you can find:
- Gym clothes
- Hiking attire
- Athletic shoes of all types
- Sports bras
- Sporty socks
Online Outlets
One of the great things about shopping online is that there are so many vendors, which allows you to be picky and to comparison-shop for prices. Even though you can’t try clothes on, the fact that many exercise outfits are stretchy gives you have some built-in flexibility. When buying workout clothes online:
- Buy from reputable shops that have positive reviews.
- Purchase from online stores that let you return items that don’t fit.
- Comparison shop for brand names and prices.
Second-Hand Shops
You can get some perfectly acceptable, inexpensive workout outfits at second-hand shops if you look around. A good rule of thumb is to go to second-hand stores in upscale neighborhoods, because you are more likely to find top brand names. Many times, the donations come from people who live in the area who trade in their gently used designer clothes for newer models. Look for pre-owned workout attire at:
- Consignment shops
- Upscale thrift shops
- Garage sales in upscale neighborhoods
One way to motivate yourself to trim inches and lose pounds is by buying cute workout clothes. Even if you’re on a budget, you can sleuth around and find the right pants, tops, shirts, and shoes to wear while you’re firming up your physique.
