    Old brown t shirt from the army and a pair of black running shorts. I had three warnings after wearing my borat singlet.

    I wear Lorna Jane sports tights 3/4 leg or just over the knee and I have a few 'gym' tops - all the light running material ones that don't show sweat and that dry quickly & breathe really well. I also wear the racer singlet tops with the support bras already in them and I have lots of bright & pretty sport bras that I wear under all my clothes. I have great quality Asics shoes that are the only brand that are supported by the Australian Sports Medicine Association. Nothing matches perfectly, but usually black or dark navy bottoms and a mix of tops (blue, orange, pink, grey, black).

    I workout at home so it depends on the day.

    Cardio I usually go light-whatever. Back days I do long pants to avoid kill-age of legs during deadlifts, Leg day I go long t-shirt to protect me from knurl on back/chest from squats, shoulders whatever, and chest I like to go tank/wife beater top, making sure i contract my muscles.

    I sometimes coordinate, not that it matters at home, Sometimes I will wake up, eat lounge and proceed to workout in my pyjamas - just cause, lmao - but then they go in the laundry, no worries on that.

    If i'm going outdoors to run I take SOME pride in my appearance, like clothes as opposed to pjs. Sometimes matching.. Why not.

    I work out in my living room. In the winter it is fleece pants and a sports bra...in the summer it is yoga pants and a sports bra...for whatever reason I hate having my legs uncovered when I work out. And yes, the fleece pants are warm in the winter but it is what I wear after the kids go to bed...and hell if I am gonna change twice.

    this... omg lol, exactly this

    No way. Who would ever caution a man wearing a Borat singlet? The nerve!

    I have three sports bras with maximum support. I either wear yoga pants or leggings and a tank top or hoodie.

    I want to be cute when I work out so I feel cute and I want to do it more- If I look gross and frumpy, then I feel that way and I don't want to exercise and be gross.

    I have a thing about clothing being loose and getting in the way of movement... very annoying to me (I can't even stand it in the bed at night so I'm usually in the buff... just can't stand stuff twisting around me), so I'll usually wear form fitting but stretchy stuff... tank tops, yoga pants, shorts... whatever it is has to fit and not be loose, and must be stretchy to move with me. That's what I feel best in. Or just my underwear. I work out at home.

    And it doesn't have to match or look "cute" but that's nice when it does. If I'm running/walking outside I think about being a little bit more modest and not wearing anything totally skin tight.

    Shorts and any tee that I wouldn't wear in public. I'm alone in the basement, so who cares.

    form fitting workout pants and one of my husband old *kitten* Marine Corps shirts. Have ot have a Marines hoodie of shirt to keep me motivated but I prefer my pants tighter so they don't fall down and I can watch my motions better, thats why I wear a baggy shirt because I don't need to show off my body at the gym, just in the bedroom, lmao, but if I was single, it would be the first place I would show my body off

    I wear some cute Asics trail running shoes, some fabulous Nike shorts (which in fact may be swim trunks but I'm not sure), and a kind of fitted T-Shirt. I used to wear a baggy T-Shirt but it didn't show any of my curves. :)

    For right now, I'm either working out in my living room or walking around the courtyard right outside my apartment. I'm basically in my pj's in the house...why worry about making another outfit to go in the wash, there's enough of that in my house with 2 kiddos, myself and my hubby....and when I'm walking outside, I'm in my jeans and whatever t-shirt I put on. I've let myself just about grow out of my wardrobe, and I'm too cheap (broke) to buy more clothes that aren't going to fit for very long anyway.

    I used to wear ugly old gym shorts and big t-shirts but found it wasn't too fun to catch glimpses of myself in the mirror.

    I've since switched to yoga pants or three quarter pants and prettier fitted tops.. nike/addidas and it makes a world of difference. It's all part of that "if you look good .. you feel good.. if you feel good.. you act good.."

    I also have this amazing long sleeved nike running top that I wear all the time now.

    It just took me AGES to find some new gym pants! :grumble:
    I have some baggy ish ones that I love for their pockets (great for running with iPod and not showing off my many curves!)

    Decided I wanted to try RPM/Spinning and thought they wouldn't be the best as they may get caught in the bike so was looking for some long shorts (not at the place to show off very much flesh yet!) or some Capri style pants.

    Did the 'squat test' in changing rooms and had to reject loads of pants as the went very see through (even in a size bigger)!! And don't really want to be flashing my backside to whatever poor soul is behind me :blushing:

    Finally found some today 4 days and 9 shops later... :happy: bit tighter than I would have liked but best I can find.

    As long as its comfy and does the job I'm happy, I didn't realise what hard work it would be (and don't even get me started on how many shops didn't have anything over a UK 12 :grumble: )

    Baggy, clean, comfy clothes. I'm going to get sweaty, so I don't care. If I had more confidence, I wouldn't mind looking cute, but then those girls who wear make-up to the gym come to mind, and I go back to not caring. :laugh: I work out at home or else go walking where no one knows me. Going to a gym would be a different story.

    I usually wear black flared Danskin pants from Walmart or Danskin leggings (capri or full-length, depending on how recently I shaved my legs LOL) and a tank or t-shirt. I have 3-4 actual workout tanks with the built-in bra, but being a 36DD, I have to wear a very supportive sports bra also. I actually went to Goodwill and found like 10 decent looking women's t-shirts for around $20 altogether. They range from Calvin Klein to Faded Glory (Walmart brand) and they're nice and worn in, so very cooling when I'm doing cardio at the gym.

    I like to look cute in my workout clothes.... I started at 231 and a size XXL and got my workout clothes at Target. Of course, they didn't look all that "cute" on in a size XXL but as I am losing I am starting to look cuter and cuter in them. When I hit 200 lbs (which I am 10 lbs away) I plan to go to ****'s sporting goods and pick out a few more pieces because I really enjoy having cute work out clothes, it motivates me. I also plan to buy some new running shoes. I have "mini goals" and "rewards" for when I hit those mini goals.

    I do exactly the same as DragonflyF15. I match, I try to find all my stuff on clearance and sales. That's how I reward myself during my weight loss journey and add incentive to keep going!

    Always 3/4 black leggings (Adidas, Puma, Nike) and a sleeveless top (Adidas, Puma) with a good sportsbra (I'm 36DD).

    On the way to the gym I might wear a hoodie.

    Asics shoes.

    Don't like 'normal' T-shirsts at all!!! I get quite many of those from my work but never use them, even in in the night time...

    Whatever's clean!

    Usually a sports bra with tights and a shirt, I have some brand name ones (Puma, etc) but usually just buy $10 shirts from kmart.

    Fitted T-shirts (not big baggy man's T-shirts, but girl Old Navy type T-shirts) and either baggy Target gym shorts, or I have like 2 pairs of tight black workout capris. I'm slowly transitioning to cute work out clothes. It'll be a while before I do tight pants and one of those tanks...

    I love Lulu, but Lulu doesn't really love girls with big girls, ya know? So because I do a lot of HIIT/HITT and a lot of plyo workouts, spend a lot of time crying from Jillian's workouts, and run a lot, I need something that stands up performance wise and supports.

    I do love Lulu's capris and shorts and those are almost exclusively what I wear on the bottom - on the top I like a solid sports bra with a cute tank over top - I find that Joe Fresh (Superstore, whaaaaaaaat!) actually offers a lot of these, and at $7 a pop, you can't go wrong.

    Anyone able to suggest a kick *kitten* sports bra would be in my good books forever! :)

    How big are you? I am 36H-38G and I currently have Shock Absorber and Freya. They are working good for me. :)

    When I go to the gym I wear some sweats and one of hubby's white tees.
    If I'm working out at home, I wear booty shorts and a training bra.

    I wear sweats, sports bra and a regular plain t-shirt, mostly the ones you get free at some event or whatever. I don't try to look cute when I work out. I'm going to end up looking sweaty and I'm going to smell. What's the point of looking cute. I never understood that unless you just want to impress some guy at the gym. But loose sweats and a tee is my thing :)

    Exactly this for me, but my pants are most Lucy and one pair of lulu that are great for biking

    i'm usually a tshirt and gym shorts kind of gal. although i do enjoy tank tops too cause i'm a sweat bucket. i'd rather be comfy than look super cute.
