workout clothes (women)

For busty women, the sports bra is going to be your best friend - regardless of whether you lift, do cardio, or a mix of both. I would suggest doing some good homework and investing in a high-quality sports bra.

I have a Nike bra that was awesome for about six months. Now it's stretched out, so I need to look for a replacement soon.

I also like psuedo- short sleeved shirts. Even when it's a little cold, the shorter sleeves help keep the chest ventilated.

Oh, god! Look at that belly in my profile pic! Guess it's time for a new photo, huh? Never, mind, don't look a that pic.
Oh, for sports bras, Fila used to make one that pulled over and then zipped up the front that was awesome. Mine are wearing out now and don't fit so good anymore now that I've lost a few pounds. Victoria's Secret has one that looks similar, but I don't have $60 laying around to buy a bra.

A t-shirt of some kind and pajama bottoms. I hate wearing spandex or yoga pants, really anything snug or tight when I work out bothers me. I went to Target and found some gray pj bottoms that are super comfy, loose enough that I feel I can move freely in and have the drawstring waist so i can keep taking them in as i lost weight.

I got high impact sports bras from old navy and love them. I haven't tried their maximum but it might be something to try in stores then jump up and down see if it works for you. It's always a high support bra and then my t-shirt/tank even if it has a built in bra. Then pants depending on the weather. I'll list some of the my favourite brands so far. I am very cheap so I look for affordable brands I could never afford a $70 bra or jacket atm tbh.

Some of my favourite cheap brands:
Avia
Danskin now

A bit more expensive
Everlast.
Old Navy

I'm a double D and I have such an issue I Need a good sports bra .. I prefer champion and under armour I need padding and underwire. I can't have myself spilling out all over. I usually wear workout wear with spandex and tanks that breathe.

I'm a D and love the VS Incredible and Knockout bras. They offer awesome support even if you do high impact stuff. In my opinion they are worth every penny.

So as a bustier woman I wear the underarmour sports bras. I love them! They have sizing like an actual bra - not just L, XL, etc. They are designed for high impact movement such as running or spinning or aerobics. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!

As for regular clothes, I know some women here have said they aren't big on form fitting and I can get a little self conscious too BUUUUUUT compression gear is like my end all be all. It sucks you right in and does not move. Once you've been sweating a bit (I know, gross but it happens) it will stick to you and be difficult to get off. It's awesome stuff . . . like awesome! I wear a mixture of old navy's compression stuff but I also really love my new balance, under armour and nike stuff too. It's definitely an investment but I believe you'll get your money's worth out of it if you don't want to jiggle when you move, so to speak. For reference, I am a 5K/training for a better 10K runner and I am 5'10 and 250lbs.

I like looser fitting cotton pants and t shirts or tank tops. I'm a simple gal. I have the opposite of a big chest so I can't help you out on that one. I even occasionally work out bra less

Can't speak to being busty at a 36B but the Victoria's Secret bras and workout pants are worth every penny. They hold up extremely well thru multiple washings and wear. Also have a lot of Old Navy workout gear and a few pair of leggings from the Walmart brand of athletic wear. More see thru than I'd like but they are like 4 years old.

Not busty...so no bra tips. I generally just wear an underwire bra when i run and lift.

As for other clothes...tight yoga pants, leggings or capris and fitted cotton tanks. Always a tank...i sweat just thinking about running and by mile 3, sweat is literally running down my face and neck like a faucet that was left on, lol.

I love Fabletics for their bottoms.........capris or full length pants. I alternate between 3 different ones every day and have been wearing the same ones for the past year. Their tops leave a lot to be desired so I shop around for tanks...........can't stand having sleeves on when I work out. I really like the FILA high impact sports bra right now as a 38C, but I'm open to trying something else!!!

I was told for busty girls (like myself) wearing the granny bras from like Macy's and then your sports bra over that really give you the support you need. I'm so gonna try that because even Victoria Secret doesn't hold me to my liking.

I wear a supportive bra. This past fall I discovered the Berlei Running Bra and I'm a complete convert. Hands-down the most comfortable bra I've ever owned, and it does a fantastic job supporting me despite a lack of massive constriction. I'm currently a 36 DDD / F , but started at a 38 H in Nov 2015.

(insert shameless plug for HerRoom.com here! -- the universal cup size is a godsend for us busty ladies!).

Other than that I'm cheap. I have a huge pile of t-shirts people have given me over the years as gifts, or "rewards" for joining professional societies, or vendor hand-outs at science meetings. I actually hate t-shirts because I get rashes on my chest (thanks, lupus) but I'm wearing them out, darn it! And I wear yoga pants or shorts, depending on how hot it is and how intensely I'm working out. I shop sales (and lately now that I'm small enough to find clothes there, Goodwill).

I DO spend a great deal of money on well-fitting footwear, though. I still try to shop the sales, but honestly $100 for a pair of well-fitting and supportive shoes is worth it.

I did that when I was still nursing my baby and starting back into exercising! It worked great.

I love the outfits at fabetics! Just ordered another sports bra and pullover today!

I thought they were good quality, but the pants NEVER STAY UP. Maybe it's just my muffin-top, don't judge. I quit my subscription after a few months, but I think they have great designs, it's good quality... the sports bras were not very supportive (or at least the 2 that I got, but I did have one that was more supportive- a racerback bra).
