I really wanted to put a post together with affordable workout clothes, but I think I was kidding myself thinking the words affordable and workout actually went together. So I went with a mix of places to buy stylish and quality semi-affordable active clothes, since the properties (pulling sweat away, etc) that make for great workout clothes push price tags up. Also I made sure to include a mix of clothes that are great to wear to and from the gym or just lounging at home – since you shouldn’t feel pressured to jump on the workout train just because it’s the new year.
Splits 59: a great mix of funky and basic work out clothes.
Aerie: Great everyday loungewear or for light cardio.
Zobha: This is a new to me store, but it’s stocked full with fun colors and great styles.
Lululemon: My favorite, and probably yours – they really make some amazing workout and lounging clothes.
Adidas: They have a great mix of funky, basic and even some great affordable pieces.
Free People: I love the trendy simple take on workout clothes, though some of them might be better suited for to and from the gym.
The Gap: All around really great, and sometimes pretty great on the affordable scale as well.
Aritzia: Great lounge/relaxing clothes and on sale their workout pants are a steal!
Target: I wish I could shop here — so many great items and of course they top the affordable scale.
Of course we also have Old Navy, Nike, Nordstrom, and Lole. EDIT: Just as this posted I found Solow, and my wishlist might be a mile long from them.
Do you have a favorite place to buy active wear? Or maybe know a great place to get affordable workout clothes?

Favoriting this post!! Lounge clothes are my wardrobe now as a SAHM and I need some cute new options!
Another favorite of mine is Gilly Hicks – their sweatpants and sweatshirts are amazing – not workout clothes (though they have yoga pants) but super comfortable to lounge in..

I can’t wait to reward my first 10 lbs with a trip to Lululemon for new workout clothes!

I probably spend waaay too much time in lounge clothes since not working! I concur on Lululemon and Aritzia stuff! Totally worth the hefty prices for how much wear they get!
I also love Victoria Secret’s PINK line, everything is so comfy! And Forever 21′s pj/loungewear line, Cereal. Cheap and comfy!

I love sweatpants from VS PINK because they’re super long! I have a pair of yoga pants from Old Navy that have held up really well, and also I really like stuff from Gap body.

I LOEV LOVE LOVE lululemon… biased since my bff mama friend is a manager there; but honestly – I’m not into high price point clothing unless it’s well worth it– and lulu is! I’ve had some of their stuff for YEARS and it’s still in great condition! :)

@mrsjyw: It’s true, the only Lulu stuff I own is about 4-8 years old and still pretty perfect!

So many great options up there! I’m an Athleta girl through and through… I need the tall versions of everything! I’ll have to look into some of these other options. Thanks for the post!

I love buy workout clothes at TJ Maxx or Marshall. I’ve scored cute Nike workout pants for $15 & $30 which were normally $60. Workout tops are normally about $15 there. I’ve seen Under Armour, Avia, NB, Adidas and some cute yoga brand clothes there. My philosophy is why pay more when you can get them for less. :)
