    Have you tried WalMart's Faded Glory line of exercise clothing? Very underrated IMO

    But yeah...cute cheap workout clothes? Where are some places you get yours without totally breaking the bank. I'm a broke college student but still wanna look decent.

    I'm sorry...but what do you mean by cute? And why does it being cute matter? Why not get some okay plain black workout pants and a cheap plain shirt?

    I check the clearance racks every time I go to Tarjay and Meijer. They both have some good brands.

    <----only possible to do this whilst wearing under armour, no cheap workout clothes are going to help you reach your goals.

    Another vote for target. Also, I've gotten some really good deals on new and nearly-new name brand stuff on ebay. People buy up good deals at outlets and TJMAxx type stores and then sell them on ebay and even with their profit, sometimes you get great deals.

    my 6 year old can do that (and much more--cartwheels on a beam, tuck jumps on a beam, back walkovers, handstands, back handsprings, etc) not using a wall and she wears cheap leo's from WalMart...

    :)

    cheap clothes do not hinder ability any more than expensive clothes make one have the talent to perform these things...

    JC Penneys!!! JCP has really changed, and they change their styles regularly--sometimes too fast for me. But I can't believe how CUTE they are!!

    Target would be my second choice, but seriously, check out JCP!!!!

    Work out hard. That looks good. Doesn't matter what you're wearing provided that it's comfortable and functional.

    I like Danskin stuff at WalMart. I also like the selection at Marshalls. I got New Balance yoga pants there for $20. They are my favorite and I love the way they fit.

    YES. I'm a little weary of Old Navy but a lot of people are saying really good things. Plus $8 for a sports bra, can't go wrong there.

    I feel confident when I wear more flattering clothes. For some reason it seems to make me work harder. Sure, there are days where I go in an old soccer t shirt, I'm not gainst it. Hell when I work out at home I work out in my undies, like someone else noted. God forbid I'd like some decent clothes in my wardrobe. No crime in that. My gym is also really picky about what you wear.

    The BCG line at Academy is super cheap and they have some cute stuff. I bought a ton of their stretchy skort things to work out and run it (they are AWESOME for the gym because it has the spandex shorties under and the skirt for additional coverage- even on the abductor/adductor machine (the one that looks like should be in the GYN office) they keep things appropriately hidden).

    There's a cool subscription service called PV Body. They will send you a workout top and bottom monthly for $50 based on a style quiz you take when you sign up. You can score brands like Lulu Lemon, American Apperal, Nux, Electric Yoga, and Nike at a fraction of the price.

    Walmart has some great ones made by Danskin; they're great workout clothes, inexpensive and cute.

    Edit for spelling Danskin wrong. :tongue:

    I really like Old Navy. The stuff fits nice and washes well. And it is cheap enough that in a year if the spandex starts to pull or go you don't feel bad replacing it.
