Are you looking for good quality and budget friendly workout clothing? Keep reading!!
I love cute and high quality workout clothing, but I don't have the budget to buy the big name brands such as lululemon, Outdoor Voices, Alo, etc. So I decided to write this blog post to share with you my favorite biker shorts, sports bra and leggings from brands that offer affordable yet still great quality items.
1. Biker Shorts- Yogalicious ($29.99)
On their website, Yogalicious sells these shorts for $29.99, but I actually got mine for only $10 at TJ Maxx! Such a steal! I get a majority of my active wear from TJ Maxx since they sell some of my favorite brands such as Yogalicious at a lower price point. These are a size small which is what I typically wear in workout bottoms. They run a tad bit big, but if I sized down I fear they would be too snug in the crotch area lol.
I have worked out in these several times and they stay put and are super comfortable. High rise biker shorts like these are my favorite! I also love the double pockets that can fit both my phone and keys. I think these would be perfect for traveling as well.

2. Sports Bra- Old Navy ($29.99)
Old Navy offers low, medium and high impact bras at several different price points. The Powersoft is my personal favorite. It is medium impact, has no wiring or clasps and the straps stay in place during the whole workout. I understand why they call it "Powersoft" because the material is so soft and comfortable to workout in but still wicks away moisture.
I wear a size 32 or 34A bra and this sports bra is a size small. I would say they run fairly true to size. I love this fun snakeskin print, but they offer several neutral color options as well.
Tip: Old Navy always has sales on their active wear so subscribe to their emails to find out when their sports bras go on sale.

3. Leggings- 90 Degree By Reflex on Amazon ($24.99)
I personally only like working out in high-waisted leggings and in my opinion, the higher they are the better. That is why I love these super high waist cotton leggings from 90 Degree by Reflex. They are $24.99 on Amazon and I actually got this pair for only $20 at TJ Maxx! I also have several pairs of 90 Degree running shorts from TJ Maxx that I really like as well.
There is nothing worse than leggings that won't stay up during your workout, but these bad boys stay put during squats, lunges, cardio, etc. That is why I love them! They aren't see through at all and are super flattering and comfy. The cotton is also moisture-wicking which is a must for me!
As far as sizing goes, I wear a small and say they run fairly true to size, there is just a little extra room in the waist. I am 5'6 and they do bunch a little at the bottoms, but it doesn't bother me at all.
