Take your activewear beyond the gym with these 36 stylish pieces

Women can wear stylish workout clothes at the gym and out of it, including sports bras with one shoulder and high-rise leggings. Enjoy your visit! Each one of them was selected by our editors independently. By clicking on links on this page, you agree that Buzz Feed may receive a share of sales or other compensation. I should also point out that the prices and items are accurate at the time of publishing.

Each of the sizes in this post is in women's sizes, unless otherwise noted.

1. You'll be prepared if your BFF asks you if you'd like to hit the gym and lounge outside afterward with a matching sports bra and leggings outfit. Also beloved by fitness instructors, this snakeskin pair has a print featuring snakes.
Fitness instructor Kristin Giles says: "I'm always on the lookout for cute workout clothes that are functional...This holds up during HIIT, weightlifting, mixed martial arts, etc.

The tan color and print were my favorite parts of the outfit. For the sports bra, I chose a medium size. As I have a shorter frame, the pants were long, but they were comfortable and squat-proof. I especially liked the waistline because it hugged my waist. Many people complimented me about it. It was a fantastic deal! —Terry J.

This shirt is available for $25.99+ at Amazon (available in 35 colors and patterns in sizes XS-XL).

2. If you prefer a monochromatic look, check out this coordinating set. Having this on hand will eliminate the "I don't know what to wear" dilemma when you have to meet someone after a HIIT or Pilates workout.
It's stretchy but also form-fitting! The material is great quality, and I'm buying it in every color!"
This item is available from Amazon for $33.99 (in sizes XS-L, two styles, and 19 colors).

3. Wear stylish and functional athleisure that's moisture-wicking. This vest features a stretchy and lightweight fabric that keeps you dry and comfortable. And the padding can be removed for a more tailored fit. Featuring a stylish design that includes silhouettes of women in yoga poses, this piece will certainly catch your eye.
It produces chic active wear made by Black women. Each piece in this collection combines style and functionality for your fitness routine, including moisture-wicking sports bras.
In addition to its removable padding, the sports bra features a low racerback that gives good support as well as a modest look. The underwire was fully lined and has no uncomfortable seams. I was between sizes L and XL (I'm usually a 38DD for reference), so I sized up to XL for comfort, as I mostly do yoga and low-impact workouts and like to wear sports bras around the house. Sizing down for a tighter fit is recommended if you fall between sizes and do high-impact workouts. I love this bra!—Lukafit Customer .

Lukafit offers them for $40 (available in sizes XS to 3XL in two colors).

4. With this twist-front crop top, you'll be able to slip into it for the gym and beyond: it's comfy, comes in a variety of neutral colors, and takes your waist into consideration. For an easy and stylish outfit, add high-rise leggings or bike shorts.

When they aren't working out, Revie wingers love wearing this versatile crop top with other wardrobe staples like denim and skirts.
"This is a great top. I love that it can be worn with high-waisted skirts, fitness wear, or for yoga. I wore it at the gym and I'm pleased with the fit. I love that it's not skintight." -Amazon Customer
This item is available from Amazon for $19.90 (sizes XS-XXL and 10 colors).

5. An amazing design that will inspire you during yoga class and throughout your day that has long sleeves, a flexible fit and a *chef's kiss* amazing design. While you flow from pose to pose in this sand and mocha mauve number, you'll be so comfortable.

The company sells gorgeous athleisure wear and is owned by a Black woman. Our collection of items includes sports bras, leggings, bodysuits, and more you can wear to work out, to run errands, and to lounge around at home.

You can buy it for $144 at Solely Fit in two color designs and two sizes.



6. These are comfortable enough to wear walking, running, or hiking. You can choose from fun patterns (such as the leopard print below) and fabric that wicks moisture to keep you dry.

The pattern is bright and vibrant, despite the cloth's softness. My legs chafed when I ran, hiked, and biked." —Amazon Customer review: "These bike shorts are incredibly comfortable and breathable. Because of its short length, it prevents chafing but is also shorter than other bike shorts.

Amazon offers them for $19.99+ (sizes XS-XXL and 15 patterns and colors).

7. Mockneck tops offer amazing styling potential. The high-rise leggings look good with so many bottoms: High-rise leggings for treadmill walks? I'd say yes. Soft lounge pants? Definitely. You have to have them. Check. With this essential, you are prepared for sweat sessions and chill days alike.

One size up is often suggested for sizing up by other reviewers.

Feeling good after wearing the shirt was great. I usually wear an extra large in gym shirts. I went one size up, however, since it is a tight fit. It was a quick exchange, and I plan on ordering more colors." -Nike Customer

A shirt like this is available from Nike for $35 (available in 7 different colors and sizes).


8. The ultimate gym or OOO uniform, soft joggers fit like a second skin. These pants have the comfort of sweatpants without being too baggy and have two front pockets to keep your phone safe (no more losing your phone). They'll pair well with all of your favorite sporty camis, hoodies, and denim jackets.

It is great for when you want to be really comfortable and stylish without wearing yoga pants. I wear sports brands all the time, so I bought these to mix it up for a bit. They are super soft and I would wear them for errands or just hanging out.

The shoes retail for $9.99+ on Amazon (they are available in sizes S-3X and 173 colors).

9. A waterproof Outdoor Voices exercise dress you can wear both when hiking and when eating out. It features an adjustable strap system, built-in shorts for windy weather, and a stylish and functional design that's simultaneously stylish and functional.

"I wore the exercise dress on a camping trip and loved it. It is tight enough to feel agile, but not too tight so that it restricts you. It was great for hiking as well! Both climbing large ledges and sliding down giant rocks, the dress never broke or was damaged.

Outdoor Voices is selling it for a price of $100 (available in 16 colors and patterns, sizes XXS to XL).

10. You like to listen to music or podcasts while working out, so you got a floral sports bra with a tech pocket. The slim slot fits your smartphone easily and keeps it safe. Moreover, it adds a pop of color to leggings, bike shorts, or flare pants.

It fit well and I like the removable padding in the bra. I am excited about the phone pocket but it didn't feel uncomfortable. I have a Google Pixel 2 and it fits fine. I appreciate the removable padding in the bra and it fit as expected. I love this bra!" -Amazon Customer

It is available for $15.99 from Amazon (available in four different colors and sizes).

11. A pair of contour seamless leggings can make any outfit look like a watercolor painting and add color to a basic tank or crop top. Moreover, they feature moisture-wicking material and are highly compressible, as reviewers comment.

There are ombre styles (as shown above) as well as solid colors available for these leggings!

It's great that these pants come in several colors. The woven-in designs on the legs and under the cheeks were worth the price. I love the colour and the higher waist. The color variety makes these trousers a cut or two above regular yoga pants. There is adequate compression for exercising or cycling." -Amazon Customer

From Amazon you can get them for $24.99+ (available in 18 styles and in sizes XS-L).

12. For light movement and lounging, try this cropped hoodie in yellow. Layer it over a sports bra or a crop top for a soft and comfy look. You can transition directly from a relaxing stretch or yoga flow to your couch without changing a thing.

I love this cropped hoodie because it's so versatile! Wearing this item of clothing for yoga (see me on the mat in the photo above!) and lounging around the house. With a raw edge design, the top is so soft and the yellow color matches my joggers or leggings so well.

For $92 (sizes S-XL), you can pick it up from Maaji.

13. This crop tank will give your wardrobe a major update - wear it with high-rise leggings for workout sessions or jeans for a quick grocery run after class. Additionally, you are sure to get many compliments at the gym when wearing this bright green outfit.

16. It is better if you wear a sports bra/crop top because a) you will have fewer layers to wear and b) you will save time getting dressed for the gym. Besides being a casual top, this one has removable pads and will match a pair of sweatpants or joggers.

It has a large bust and a small band, making it perfect for my size. I'm also tall so I was concerned about how these bras would fit, but they work so well. I use them for running but also under a top with an exposed back. Getting it on and off can be a bit difficult but it's worth it!" —Amazon Customer

An encouraging review: "I run a lot (especially long distances) and I do HIIT every day, so a high-impact sports bra gym outfit is a must-have for me.". Previously, I thought I had to spend a lot of money to get a good bra that worked for me. I was used to spending twice the amount of money for a bra that did half as well as this one does.
