Where do you buy workout clothes?

Where does everyone buy their workout clothes? I'm really having trouble finding anything that fits, is flattering, and affordable.

I would especially love some input from tall pear shapes. I carry all my weight in my butt and my thighs, more than I would like in my stomach, but my waist in comparison is rather small. I have a lot of trouble finding pants that fit over my thighs and butt and will sit on my waist properly. Brands that run tall or have a tall option would be nice too! I've found extra long pants from Marks and Spencers that worked pretty well. I'm also looking for extra long tank tops.

Thanks!

    nike brand is good, but my current obession is lululemons, they are really good and flatter well...however they are really expensive but well worth the savings! (atleast in my opinion)

    My yoga shorts came from Walmart. They are actually cute.
    I bought the yoga Pants @Krogerr/FredMeyers and my
    tanks were from Target. Still wearing Reebock tennis shoes
    but in spring I'm buying Nikes.

    I picked up some compression capris,shorts, and a pair of skirted shorts at Target and a couple pairs of fitted workout shorts at Walmart. So far they're working well. I don't wear them by themselves though. The skirt/short combo is the only one I have worn out alone since it's got the looser skirt bit. I've heard good things about Old Navy's stuff, but haven't gotten around to ordering anything yet.

    Sainsbury's stock a canny little range of sports clothing at the moment. I've had a few wicking tops from there & some capri pants. Asda is also ok for pants & tanks. It all depends on if you want branded or just something that's an ok wash & wear but won't break the bank.

    I'm cheap and poor. $12.00 for top and shorts. Nike sneakers, due to sale. What's the need to look flattering? Vain people, get real. Then again, whatever floats one boat. :wink:
