Working out in the right gear is important for more than just a comfortable fit—it can boost your confidence and help you push your limits. As longtime editors and fitness enthusiasts, we’ve seen a lot of workout womens clothes from leggings that stay put (no slipping!) to sports bras that support your shape to hoodies that keep you warm after the gym to the perfect pair of trainers that will help you go the extra mile on your next run. The best women’s workout clothing for you depends on your budget and your favorite activities, with some brands offering a better cost-per-wear than others.

If you’re into yoga or Pilates, Stokes recommends Lululemon’s breathable, stretchy performance knits that move with your body and provide just the right amount of support. For barre and ballet classes, try Australian brand Vouri, which offers sleek, elongating styles that work for low-impact moves like toning the core.
