8 Surprising Retailers With Stylish Fitness Clothing

You may turn to Victoria’s Secret whenever it’s time to restock your lingerie drawer, but the retail giant’s Victoria Sport line shouldn’t be overlooked. It offers items like leggings with handy pockets and soft tanks with details such as mesh and elastic bands, so there’s never a reason to skip a gym session.

Let's be honest. Aerie might take you back to your high school days, but the American Eagle Outfitters brand doesn't disappoint in the fitness department. The brand has a selection of reasonably priced patterned leggings, from florals to color-block styles, to sports bras in a wide range of color options. You can also snag simple tanks and lightweight sweaters for those early morning runs.

Consider Aritzia if you’re all about understated items that can be staples in your fitness wardrobe. The Canadian brand carries a small selection of sports bras and tanks with stretchy material, as well as sleek leggings, which are mostly crafted of sweat-wicking fabrics to keep you dry during intense workouts. We found the quality of the leggings (about $60) to be an especially good deal for the price.

If you’re looking for affordable workout gear (everything is under $50), Old Navy should be your go-to. The retailer’s activewear line features everything from tops with motivational messages to comfortable compression leggings that sculpt in all the right places.

Need the right outfit for your Saturday morning yoga session? You can't pick a better place. Forever21 has fashionable gear, that’s perfect for low-intensity workout sessions like yoga or Pilates. From leggings with cutouts to sports bras with crisscross-back straps, you can easily snag a complete look for $35.

Geared towards the college set, Victoria's Secret PINK has everything from colorful tanks to leggings with strappy details. Just keep in mind that items are emblazoned with "PINK" or its signature dog logo, so the line works if you're all for having fun with your fitness gear.

Have an open mind when it comes to Eddie Bauer. Of course, the sportswear brand has found success with outdoor adventurers (you might even still have your down jacket or hiking gear). However, the retailer has an impressive selection of everyday athletic offerings, including stretch pants with moisture-wicking fabric and classic racerback tanks with Polygiene odor-control technology, which work well for the gym or running outdoors.

While Tory Burch is known for her signature Reva ballet flats and apparel boasting vibrant prints, her Tory Sport line, which launched in September 2015, deserves just as much recognition. Tory Sport offers fitness apparel and accessories with a classic, refined vibe. Think sweaters and jackets with stripes, golf pants in pretty plaids, chic white polo tops, and much more. Don't worry, though. You can still find your gym staples like all-black leggings and tanks made out of breathable fabric. Plus, the site makes shopping easy, allowing you to search for items by sport: tennis, golf, running, studio, coming & going, and swim.

Don’t let this department store overwhelm you, as it has a ton of options for fitness buffs. Once you can get over its wide inventory, you’ll find clothing from brands like Nike, Adidas, Champion, Bally Total Fitness and FILA Sport, which also offers plus-size styles.

Shop it: Kohl's Women's FILA SPORT® Floral Print Performance Capris ($40)

It's time to think of Gap as more than an option for jeans. GapFit has fitness clothing that's chic enough to run errands in if there's no time for changing. Our favorites are the new GapFit Sculpt Compression leggings that flatter your curves and provide much-needed support during intense workout sessions. The brand also offers a slew of breathable tanks and tees featuring moisture-wicking fabric.

We also love that there's a pant style for just about every body type and exercise, so there's no time wasted browsing the site for hours on end. You can shop by the intensity of a workout (low, medium, or high) or browse pant styles by capri, legging, straight, high rise, relaxed, or shorts.
