ladies: where do you buy your workout clothes?

Costco.

Haha @Lourdesong, that was what I was going to say.
I have had both bottoms and tops from there that have lasted well over 5 years of going to the gym at least 3 times a week.
I always have a good selection so I can rotate around. If I find something that fits well, and works for my exercise routines, I buy 3-4 of them.

Cycling, it is well worth investing in a couple of pairs of good quality shorts, but for the rest of what you list- Costco.

Cheers, h.

Victoria's Secret does make some comfortable durable workout clothes. They're priced higher than you stated but if you catch a sale they'll have something like "buy a sports bra for $25 get tights for $50 (as opposed to the usual $100 I think they charge). Nordstroms "zella" brand is high quality as well and you can DEFINITELY find some good sales on that brand (though I still think sale prices are closer to $50).

I buy sports bras from pretty much anywhere but I buy my tights and shorts from Lululemon and they're super expensive ($100 a pair for tights and I think $58 for shorts). I will tell you though, as someone who trains three hours a day 6 days a week in their tights, I think they're a worthwhile investment if you buy one or two pairs. I have the same pairs of tights I bought three years ago and they still look and feel almost new. I do follow the care instructions to a T though. Other tights i've bought for $50 a pair have had to be replaced in as little as three months so if you look at it that way you're actually saving money.

I refuse to buy from Sports Direct.

Old Navy, but I don't usually need anything fancy.

Most of my workout pants are Fabletics (specifically the Rio Run Capri which they don't make anymore) and are several years old and still in great condition. Since they don't make those anymore and I am getting borderline on the size I have been getting the VS knockout crops. I will say they are quite thick so they should last pretty good - original pair is at least a year old.
They do have good sales - usually in combo with a sports bra which I get since I am a DD and the Incredible bra works really well for me. Just got a couple pair for $35/pair with a combo purchase.

Fabletics is a great option. All online though, if you prefer to go to a store.

I also love Fabletics, the size range is fantastic, I think the quality is great and they have a customer rewards program.

Old navy, target & sporting goods stores sometimes have cute stuff! You just have to know what looks good on your body.

Goodwill. $3-$10 per piece for barely used good quality gym clothes. Of course, selection can stay a on any given day, but that's part a of the fun! I check at least once a week to keep up with the ever changing selection.

I agree with everyone above, another way I shop for athletic wear is looking at the clearance racks at the high end places, many times you can find HUGE deals both in store and online in these sections. That way you don't lose quality but can buy it at an affordable price.

This might be Canadian, but Marks Work Wearhouse for thermal wear and wicking socks, and Winners for unique fitness gear.

I know this question was for ladies only but if you're willing to take a look, Eastbay.com is a great place to order stuff online. They have most major sporting brands and even their own brand name stuff which is inexpensive but of very great quality. The tank and the leggings in my profile picture is Eastbay brand and I love em. Feels just as nice as UA gear.

My only gripe with them is that they're a US based company (obviously) and the shipping isn't free to us Canadians. Plus you have to take into account the conversion rate. Even still I manage to save so much money on there when I make a bulk order. If you're American though I can't see why you wouldn't buy from them.

For hiking, Duluth trading and Eddie Bauer, Target for sports bras and under Armour for compression tights
