As someone who thoroughly enjoys eating, I consider working out
just as much of a necessity as it is a pleasure. I essentially work
out to balance a lot of the indulging I partake in. But what
started out as something strictly to “cancel out” my foodie
lifestyle is now something I actually enjoy and look forward to.
For me, exercise is just as good for my physical health as it is
for my mental health. I always feel clearer after Pilates, and it
really helps keep my anxiety and stress levels down.

With the
dedication I’ve found to working out
is also the need for
activewear clothing that I can count on. I’ve become increasingly
picky when it comes to selecting a workout
set
, as it has to match certain criteria. It needs to be
comfortable enough to get through a strenuous Pilates
class
 but also made of performance fabric that will move with
me and not interfere with my workout. Oh, and obviously it needs to
look good too.

Taking this checklist of criteria into consideration, I’ve
narrowed it down to a very select few workout sets that I wear on
repeat. Below, I’m highlighting a few of the best
workout clothing
sets I’ve come across.

This
top feels totally supportive, yet never digs into you.

These
are high-waisted (which is a must for me when looking for
leggings), and the wide waistband feels like it hugs you without
suffocating you. 

This
fabric is insanely comfortable for how much support it offers.

I
was shocked by how flattering a gray legging could be. 

If
you’re into prints, this camo set is beyond cool.

Wear
the leggings with the matching top if you want to go bold, or pair
it with a solid black or gray top for a more subtle look. 

My
holy-grail workout outfit will always be a solid black sports bra
and matching leggings.

These
are the leggings you’ll want to do way more than just work out
in. 

This
color combo is so pretty.

Even
those print-averse will be into these leggings.

Just
a subtle pop of print. 

These
are beyond comfortable. 

This
back detailing is so pretty.

The
pattern on these makes them feel elevated. 

The
perfect cover-up for any set.

thought of wearing to the gym—until now
