Long-Sleeved Tee
For slightly chilly days when you just need a little more coverage, throw on a fun Express Core cutout tee ($35, originally $50).
Crazy Capris
On those days when you need an extra boost to make it to your workout, grab something fun from your closet — like these Nike Club Printed Cropped Leggings ($35).
Shorts
Gyms can be stuffy and overcrowded, especially during New Year's resolution season. These Adidas Climachill shorts ($20, originally $40) help wick away sweat and have aluminum dots incorporated into the fabric to cool you down while you work out.
Earphones
For most of us, music is essential for making sure we're not bored during a workout. Investing in a pair that won't keep falling out as you bound away on the treadmill is a smart idea. The Skullcandy Chops Bud ($20) stay put at a great price.
A Basic Sweatshirt
Throw it on after yoga, take a jog in it on a chilly day; this slim-fitting crew sweatshirt ($25) from Land's End is a versatile piece for your workout wardrobe.
Tank
This loose-fitting, flattering racerback tank from H&M ($10) gives you freedom, whether you're working on your biceps or powering through SoulCycle.
Performance Tee
Don't be a sweaty mess in an old cotton tee — these C9 by Champion Performance Tees ($13) come in a myriad of colors and wick away sweat as well as shirts twice their price.
High-Impact Sports Bra
If you're a runner, cycler, or bootcamp devotee, you're going to need a sports bra that stands up to your workout. This Forever 21 Mesh Back Sports Bra ($13) is designed to give you the support you need.
Basic Black Leggings
Everyone needs a go-to pair of basic black leggings, and these Old Navy Compression Leggings ($27, originally $30) do the job for half the price.
Sports Socks
If you've got a regular workout routine going on, you can never have too many sports socks. These ankle-length athletic socks from Hanes ($10 for a six-pack) are affordable and just what you need.
