As any activewear fan knows, no workout outfit is complete without a good pair of leggings and a fly sports bra. But the most important thing about the right pair of gym clothing for women  is fit. Loose-fitting sweatpants are great for a lazy day on the couch, but baggy leggings might snag on workout equipment or catch on strappy shoes (which we’ve all been there). That’s why the best pair of leggings to wear to the gym are super tight and stretchy.

There are plenty of affordable options for leggings and sports bras that can stand up to the high-intensity workouts you’ll be doing at the gym. For example, this pastel pink sports bra and leggings set by Alo Yoga is both cute and affordable at $226. The semi-sheer top and stretchy leggings have a flattering shrug illusion that’s ideal for morning stretches or treadmill inclines, plus they look great on all skin tones.

Another great option is woman-founded brand Aday, which makes workout clothing that’s not just technical and seasonless, but also chic and workwear-appropriate. Aday’s high-waisted leggings and cropped tank are made in the USA, with a second-skin feel that moves with you during your cardio sessions and yoga classes. The label’s popular Space Dye fabric has a marble look and cozy feel while providing excellent stretch, so you can get a lot of use out of these versatile pieces.

Other brands to check out for the best workout clothes for women include FP Movement, which made waves with its budget-friendly exercise dress that editors swear by, and Kohl’s, which offers a huge selection of inexpensive fitness gear from Tek Gear, including leggings and sports bras starting at $50. And if you’re looking for something even more affordable, try Old Navy or Target.
