I own not one sports bra, pair of workout pants/shorts or shirts and I only can think of Victoria Secret, but they charge about $40 per piece. Someone know of stylish workout clothes that are well priced? I love clothes like those from hot topic: Superheros, rock n' roll, cartoon characters, funny sayings, etc. I'm not a flower, pink, and plain colored type of person. So, if you know of any with style that would be preferred!

    I get most of my Sports Bras from Target. The rest of my stuff is pretty plain (I get most of it at Kohl's) - I wish I could find some fun stuff like you described though - I never seem to find it either.

    I usually end up at Ross or TJ Maxx. Their stuff is really hit or miss but I really like the brand Green Apple when I can find it.

    Target (especially if you have small-med boobs, bigger boobs need more expensive bras, or so I hear).

    TJ MAX is the BEST!!! I don't buy work out clothes any where else because like you, I'm not going to spend top dollar for clothes I'm going to be sweating in. You can get tons for your money there, I swear by it! Also don't forget to check out their shoes. I got a great pair of running shoes originally $80 for $30. Good Luck!

    My favorite places are the nike and under armour outlets. Reebok also has some cute stuff with multiple bright colors. My sports bras are from Modells and about $40 a piece, but those are not worth skimping on!

    Unfortunately, I never find workout clothes that are patterned or cute or anything like that. I mostly go for bright, fun colors (but not so much pink). I mainly look for a comfortable fit and the right materials to keep me warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

    I get my workout clothes from JcPenny's (Their brand is X-cersion). Its a lot cheaper that brand names like Nike and Under Armour. The quality is great too! I think the last time I went I got a sports bra, Dry fit shirt, long pants, and sweater for like $40-50

    Go to TjMaxx, Marshalls, Target, and JcPenny's...these are places that have reasonable prices...and if you go to the outlets (Nike , Under Armour, and Reebok) check their clearance rack...I have gotten my sports bras for $10 at Walmart and they come in a pack of two.

    This may be strange, but Forever 21 has the cheapest workout clothes and they are cute too. Check out their web site under Active Wear.

    Yes! Green Apple yoga pants are the best -- they're a bamboo fiber blend and they're insanely comfortable, even by yoga pants standards. I'm addicted to them.

    If you look on Pinterest... Or I'm sure on google search...you can take your old tshirts and turn them into workout shirts that are really cute :)

    I love Danskin that I buy at Walmart. It holds up really well to washing and does really well pretty cheaply. Hope this helps.

    Old Navy!!! I just got two tops for like $12 from them. If you're on the busty side I'd recommend getting a good underwire bra from Vic's or from a sporting goods store that carries a good selection.

    Not sure where you are located but I find my workout clothes at Outlet stores -Nike, Adidas, Under Arnor all have options that will work with your style. But in the end it's not what you wear, it's what you do!

    I don't know about fashionable workout wear, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE under armour- amazing stuff, it is. It's a bit pricey, but so worth it, IMO. I do a lot of stuff outside (, nordic and alpine skiing, hiking, etc…) so the cold gear is great for that, but they also have moisture wicking apparel for warm weather, and it's just as awesome as the winter gear. And, if you take care of it, it lasts- I've had my cold gear for 3 winters now, and it's still perfect.

    Walmart
    Target
    Kohls

    ^For the cheap stuff

    I have a nice Moving Comfort sports bra that I spent $50 on....but it was worth every penny. Other than that, I buy cheap workout clothes. If the idea is to get all sweaty and stinky in them and then to lose enough weight that they don't fit anymore, I don't see the point in spending a lot.

    I second the person who said JCPenney. Their clothes are right on trend and cute! I also like Old Navy for yoga pants. Very Stylish. :)

    WALMART! Although I am super jealous of the girls who buy their workout clothes from LuLuLemon *sigh* Those tops and pants look great but are SO PRICEY :(
    Walmart workout clothes are great and I can get like 3 outfits for $100!

    I went to Old Navy after Christmas and bought 3 sports bras for $5 dollar each. A lot of their athletic stuff is in clearance so I was getting yoga pants for under $10.

    Ditto on old navy and target. All of my work out stuff came from there, except for one or two tops I picked up at TJ Maxx (I actually bought 2 champion wicking shirts in the TJ Maxx men's section, they were a lot cheaper than the ones in the ladies section).

    tj maxx has some & guess what? I've been picking up some at good wills in upscale neighborhoods since the idea is I"m going to get smaller anyway :) and get washed often

    TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross, etc....

    Seriously, you're going to sweat in what you're working out in! Don't spend a ton of money on things!

    Swap meet, Goodwill, no holes or tears and sometimes they still have the tags on them. I pay anywhere from $2 to $5 per piece.

    As to the sports bras. I was big before an they didn't hold me in, now I'm small and they don't do anything for me. I wear a one piece bathing suit from Big 5 and it holds all of it in including my stomach. If I lift my arms for any reason and my shirt goes up, they see my swim suit, not my gut or anything else.

    I hate Walmart since everyone will have the same thing. Marshall's is great I got Jockey and Pony running shorts for $5 each!
