Fitness Clothes

susanamussen5307

Ok I love my fitness clothes! They are my motivation to going to the gym 90% of the time which is probably not a good thing haha. Anyways I'm getting more into lifting, and need to find leggings. Right now I'm obsessed with Airabella Active, but I need more colors. I love Airabella Active because they are a little thicker than most companies much like lulu, and I want nylon so that takes Fabletics out of the equation. Can anyone name some of their favorite fitness clothing companies? Thanks for your help!

Old navy is good on the cheap and I love Gap's active line. Nike is great too. I tend to buy a lot of my gym wear from consignment stores and have gotten some really awesome pieces.

I'm pretty much a Nike and Lululemon girl. I find that their clothes last the longest and are also super cute!!! I have a few pieces from Under Armor, Roxy, and Old Navy as well.

I'm into Under Armour. Fit is great and last along time.

I love Kate Hudson's line, Fabletics. Also like Prana, especially for yoga and Capezio has some great tops.

I like old Navy, I agree it is cheap, but seems to last. Nike is all prints, and once you pull prints on they go so much lighter and almost see through (Especially when you squat!) cause they're printed on white fabric, I've found a lot of times that's what UA is like too. Lulu is just soo expensive, but I do need to look into Roxy I didn't know they had some! I don't like Fabletics because they are sold out of EVERYTHING, and I hate having to remember to skip months. Again I love Lulu, but they hate my wallet! That's why I've gotten so obsessed about Airabella Active too, because they feel almost identical to what i have from lulu, but Airabella Active doesn't carry the same price tag, and always seems to do deals that end up making things cheaper than Fabletics but use what feels like a nicer fabric!

Thanks for the ideas though! I will check out roxy asap! I do need more tops, so i'll check out Capezio as well!

If I'm not going to wear Lulu I wear RBX. It's cheap but for some reason doesn't feel cheap. They are seriously comfortable leggings and they have some interesting ones at well. I especially like the thick waist bands. Very flattering.

Second RBX, always flatters (I'm bigger on the bottom) no matter what I pick out and can find the nice stuff on sale. They usually have a little key pocket in the pants. Plus it stays nice even if you put your clothing in the dryer.

Yep. Love the key pocket too. I'm also bigger on the bottom. They have been holding out well and I find that after losing weight, I could still wear these after I need to size down in other brands.

Yup, I am an RBX girl love the funky patterns and the waist band. Also the key pocket is handy when I'm running outside.

susanamussen5307

I feel like everyone has the key pocket now don't they? The brands I have worn and mentioned above all have them.

Yay! The ones in my profile pic are RBX and they are on the wild side for me.

K so i just checked out RBX , and they have some cute leggings, but my struggle is purchasing prints. Even their space dyes are prints, so when you do squats aren't they slightly see through? Airabella Active's are dyed all the way through, and i've noticed a huge difference between that and stuff like nike's. Also I can't see what fabric they are made of, usually when company's do that it's because they use polyester, which is cheaper, and to me far less comfortable. I could be just too picky! haha

susanamussen5307

For those who have used them I have to know is the fabric thicker? I do like thicker fabric because it seems to hold everything together better, and seems less see through.

I don't have any print bottoms but I do have dark gray ones and they are definitely not see through. I like thicker fabric bottoms too so we have the same taste. Best is to look at the reviews and see what they say for individual items.

I also like 90 degrees, they have thick bottoms in the solids and flattering fit. Stay away from the prints tho, they are the printed on version and look bad when stretched, from what I remember when trying them on in store.

arditarose

You cannot see through RBX at all.

susanamussen5307

Ok great thanks girls! I'll have to give them a try!

I wear stretchy capris, the t-shirt they gave me free at the gym, and sneakers. Maybe as I get thinner I'll get into cute gym clothes! I'm interested. I like cute clothes.
