Work out clothes
 

So, I know there's a forum specifically for clothes, beauty and whatnot however I've been having issues finding age appropriate work out clothes.

Everything I find that fits my very wide shoulders and large bust (aka plus size :rolleyes: ) is old and frumpy looking. I don't want work out clothes that have more floral patterns than my grandma's couch. Yuck. I went to 10 different stores last night and just ended up mad and depressed.

My mom suggested just buying mens shirts and wearing sweats. First off, I have never owned a pair of sweats, I loathe them. Secondly, I'm liking my body better now and don't want to cover it up in some garbage just because it fits. So, after that incredibly long backstory:

Where do you find stylish work out clothes that don't cost an arm and a leg?

Try New York and Company (not sure if its in your area). They do have active wear for less, plus if you join their e-mail listing they regularly send you coupons. Those coupons significantly reduces the price of items.

Target and Walmart have good ones :)

I spent like maybe $60 for 3 shirts and two of the sweats that are kind of like capris :)

I agree with Target and Wal-Mart - I only really buy shorts or capris though since I'm a t-shirt freak I have plenty of those! I'm not yet to the point where I want to feel stylish while I'm huffing and puffing so I haven't splurged on anything special :D

Old Navy and Target.

My Old Navy work out pants are the most comfortable things EVER.

I have the Old Navy workout pants (I guess they are technically yoga pants) but I run in them. I just wear tshirts for the tops.

i second target and old navy.

i have the old navy yoga capris and they are my fav workout pant. i also wear some old navy loose fitting capris made out of a terry material that are comfortable and dont make your butt look like a stuffed sausage.

and i have a ton of workout clothes from target's C9 collection made by champion. reasonably priced, moisture wicking, and come in lots of styles, the tank tops will probably fit a bustier frame better than the tshirts, those are a little snug.

hope this helps, cute/functional workout clothes are out there!

Yes, I agree with everyone that said old navy. I wear their yoga pants for all my workout, and they're great. And I have tank tops from them that I work out in as well. Not too expensive either.

I'm feeling a little better now it was just so frustrating last night. I checked NY&C and they do not have a plus sized line. And so far as I could tell Target didn't have any of their Champion line above an XXL which I can wear in pants but NOT in tops.

I did check Old Navy online and their pants and tank tops both look really comfy. I totally forgot about them. When I was smaller I shopped there then gained all my weight before they had any plus sizes.

I'm kinda weird but I hate working out in a t-shirt; I always prefer some sort of tank top.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!! :carrot:

LOVE Old Navy yoga pants. I live in them outside of work. And I wear just tank tops over my sports bra collection (I have to wear 2-3 b/c I'm chesty).

Target usually has some good stuff, and I was just in Wal Mart last week and they had some really cute stuff too.

i LOVE all the champion work out stuff at target. LOVE

I agree, Target is awesome. They have Champion merchandise or clearance quite often. Plus, if you have a store like Ross or TJ Maxx around you, thats another good bet. I just got a great totally cute Reebok workout tanktop for $5 last week.

Another vote for Old Navy! Go to the store instead of online if you can - the yoga pants run big-ish. I traded in the XXLs I bought at 320+ for XLs at 300.

Dang, you guys really make me want to go check out these yoga pants at Old Navy! :P

TJMaxx is also good and they have nice gear up to 3X sometimes. A lot of Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Champion, etc

I agree with Kimminy, I already had plans to go get some new jeans because my current ones are falling off(yay!). Now I've got to check these yoga pants out too!

I've heard good things about Junonia for plus-size activewear (especially if you don't want to work out in cotton - I don't know how people do it). It might be a little pricey compared to other options, though, especially if you won't be wearing this size for long! Maybe they have a clearance section on the site?

Yeah, I didn't mention that. I can wear a medium in the yoga pants at ON. I bought larges once, and they are too loose for me to work out in, but very comfy for sleeping. If anything, it makes me feel good about the M instead of L or XL, lol.

Ross! Its a hit and miss, really inexpensive.
