Fall Activewear

I’m definitely one of those people who feels more motivated to work out if I know I have some cute workout gear to put on.  Since the kids started back to school, my husband & I have gotten into a good rhythm of running together three days a week after we drop them off in the mornings.  Even though the rest of my workouts are done at home, I still want to have stylish staples in case a neighbor drops by unannounced or I need to make a quick run to the grocery store.

As much as all of my friends swear that Lululemon is the best, I just can’t bring myself to spend that much money on clothes I’m only going to break a sweat in.  Thankfully, there are plenty of affordable & seasonally appropriate options so you can update your gym wardrobe without breaking the bank.  I’ve always been partial to these compression leggings, but I recently discovered this brand & have been so impressed by both the prices & the quality (they come in tall, petite & plus sizes too!).  Below I’m sharing six activewear looks that I’ve put together to keep you warm & looking chic this fall:

    Cute picks, but I can’t imagine working out in a long sleeved top and definitely not a jacket. I know this is a fall activewear post, but I think most people wear tanks or short sleeves year round for working out.

      Thank you for this feedback! I was focusing on long sleeves for those who do outdoor workouts. I actually wear long sleeves in the fall/winter even if I’m going to an indoor exercise class because I get so cold walking from the car to the gym. Totally see your point, though – next time, I’ll be sure to include some short sleeve options!

    For me, the most important workout clothing item (after running shoes, which preferably need to be selected in a professional store) is tights, and sports bras in third place. I can wear any top, which remotely resembles a sports top, but the tights should have these things, besides being made of a sweat-wicking material:
    1 – drawstring, so that they would not slide;
    2 – zip pocket for the key (and some toilet paper – don’t ask =));
    3 – reflective elements, because it is still dark in fall/winter when I go out for a run;
    4 – optional but a nice bonus – zippers on the bottom of the pant leg for easier getting off/on;
    5 – optional but very important in summer – mesh inserts under/behind the knee for the skin to breathe.

    I find that a full combination of all of these is quite hard to find. But H&M usually has a couple of options, for example:

    I must also add that my previous H&M tights are finishing their second year and are still going strong. I bought an extra pair this year and I find that they’ve become a bit worse (as related to fit and design) but still contain most of the things I want.

    Just sayin’. =)

      Thank you so much for sharing your perspective! I just ordered my first pair of H&M tights, so I’m happy to hear that yours have held up well!
