Workout ladies clothing is an essential piece of your exercise wardrobe. Not only does it keep you comfortable while working out, but it also encourages you to make healthy lifestyle choices like going to the gym more often. A study by Victoria University found that women who wear workout clothes are more likely to engage in beneficial physical activity than those who don’t. Whether you’re looking for workout leggings to wear with a sports bra and cropped hoodie or the perfect pair of yoga pants to add to your closet, we’ve got you covered.

Workout clothes are made specifically for exercising in, so they’re typically designed with stretchy fabrics that move with your body while you sweat. They should also be moisture-wicking to help you feel dry and breathable throughout your workout. And if you’re going to go all out, consider adding a few pieces of compression wear, which increases circulation and improves performance while reducing fatigue, so you can hit your fitness goals with confidence.
