    For me,

    Golf Polo Shirts and regluar shorts.

    I use New Balance 408Blk shoes for lifting and adidas shoes for running, etc.

    Target is always good. Pretty good wicking material stuff for a decent price. Compression-wise I'm all about under armour but you pay for it. I keep hearing about those adidas shoes they came out with for crossfit but I haven't tried them yet. I use my brooks pure cadence since I run with them as well.

    I love my Inov-8 F-Lite 195 for lifting and WODs. They are decently flat but have some cushion so they don't kill my feet. That being said, if I know there is going to be a lot of running (and hopefully very little lifting) in the WOD I prefer my running shoes which I use for marathon/tri training.

    Workout pants/shorts are just a personal preference. I may not be a super model, but it's just too darn hot here to workout in pants. I much prefer the compression shorts (though I don't like the tiny little short booty shorts).

    I go with the moisture wicking capris from old navy, t-shirts from thrift stores and converse (currently, wonder woman)

    Old Navy has some light compression pants/capris and moisture-wicking tees that I like for my Crossfit workouts (regular and plus-sizes available).

    For shoes, I'm currently loving my Nike Free TR shoes. They're closer to minimalist shoes than they are the heavy support sneaker.

    I have drawers full of workout clothes but the only items I ever want to wear are my LuLu Lemon pieces. They're worth every penny.

    black compression shorts, black sports bra, my $10 walmart shoes (depending on the workout those are optional), sometimes a shirt, but more often than not, I'm a no-shirter at my box. Just get too hot in shirts out here in Lubbock

    I love the Old Navy capris. It's so hot here that I mainly stick with tank tops. I prefer them to be pretty long so I don't risk showing my muffin top during the WOD. : ) I also love the cheap-o graphic tees you can get from Target for $9.99.

    :( ... I really want new lululemon clothes, but they are SOO expensive. 100 per pants. But I agree. LOVED THEM to death.... literally.

    1- if you are fithly rich: lulu... best stuff out there
    2- if you are like everyone else: go to marshalls/TJ Maxx/ or Ross and hit up their work out area. I find all my compression shorts there and lots of cute sports bras and tanks.

    if you need supportive bras: try Under Armor's zip-up one...its amazing!

    Shoes: this is much more complicated...Free's are good for the variety of what goes on at crossfit, but there are also olympic lifting shoes and running shoes for the extremes depending on the work out. I alternate between vibrams (for olympic lifting), frees (for most work outs--especially those with box jumps or double unders), and my Brooks' running shoes (for heavy running days). This is a very personal thing that depends on your feet and what you feel most comfortable in. There are tons of blogs on this and also the Inov shoes and the new Reebok CrossFit shoes (personally, i feel like they are over priced nike frees)

    My new favorite shorts are from Under Armour. They had them on sale for $14.99 and now I have 5-6 pair. They're really comfortable and they come in cute colors.

    I just bought some Reebok CrossFit Nano 2.0 shoes. I like them so far. They're very lightweight and flexible.

    I wear a mix of Nike tights, adidas and underarmour singlets, layering with various long sleeve running tops and even a hoodie (did I mention the cold). For shoes I wear Innov-8s for WODs and Ristos for lifting.

    I'm wearing mostly Lululemon as well, but thats because one of our trainers is Lulu staff, and our owner is also a LULU ambassador.

    Shoes: Adidas Adios II
    Looking at buying O-shoes, likely Adi-Powers.

    I'm cheap. My pants come from Target. And they have held up well over the last year.
    My tops I get at Penny's because I am still in plus size shirts. And they are a good price there as well
