Hellloooo y’all! This week’s Tiff’s Favorites is all about activewear. If you’ve been here awhile you know I like to workout. The hubby and I head to the gym, for a run or do some at home circuit training about 5 times a week, so needless to say I have a lot of activewear.
I’ve tried many brands of exercise clothing and have found a few tried and true brands that I go back to for multiple reasons:
1. Durability. You wash and wear so many times. It has to hold up.
2. Flexiblity. You’re out there moving and shaking (for those Zumba girls out there). The clothes have to move with you.
3. Breathability. You’re sweating your behind off. The last thing you need is a cotton t-shirt that doesn’t wick away the sweat and provide you as much coolness as possible.
4. Cuteness factor. We all want to look good right? Even when we’re sweating our butts off.
Because I wear them so often, I’ll spend a good amount of money on gym clothes. Like I said above, they have to be durable and last me a while, so I’m willing to fork out a bit more to not have to replace a pair of shorts or capris every year.
I’m going to break down my favorite brands and show you a few items that I wear from these brands and that I think are great (and available right now! Score!).
And now that I’ve mentioned it, let’s talk about sports bras shall we? Under Armour is one of the only companies I’ll trust my ladies to.
The Under Armour Sonic Bra is my all time favorite. It’s breathable, uses their HeatGear technology and has great support. You can click HERE to see all Under Armour sports bras.
It’s a little on the spendy side, but it’s super cute and I’m a sucker for thumb holes.
If you’re looking for some great shoes for the gym, I highly recommend Nike Free 5.0 Running Shoes. They’re a super lightweight running shoe, similar to a barefoot shoe. I wear them at the gym and running (nothing too long, 5 miles or less usually). Nordstrom carries a great variety Nike Frees.
Do you have some great activewear you seek out? Sound off and let me know about it!
Great info about the shoes, I want to check those out!
You definitely should! They are the only 2 types of shoes I buy for the gym.
Thanks for stopping by!

Great post! I have a lot of Lululemon but I find that I’m not fitting their clothes as well (I think they’ve changed their sizing).
I’ll have to check out your suggestions. Thanks!
Have a lovely day.

I’ve heard a lot of people complaining about Lulu lately. The quality is just not there anymore.
Have a great week!

I love that tank and the capri pants are nice too. I found your blog on the link-up by the way, hi, I’m Louisa from My Family & Abruzzo.
I LOVE the tank too! I think I’m going to get it here soon.
Thanks for coming by Louisa!
