Urban Outfitters Has Incredibly Functional Workout Gear, and We Were Surprised, Too

We love the way the crossover design of this Nike Pro Intertwist Bike Short ($30, originally $35) makes it hug your waist while providing tons of support. The fabric is nice and stretchy with sweat-wicking properties to keep you dry during sweaty cardio sessions.

We've never seen a top quite like the Puma TZ Colorblock Cropped Top ($35). It's dark teal in the front, pastel pink in the back, with a wide hem that even has a small mesh panel to keep it all breathable. Intriguing, right?

Want something cozy to curl up in post-workout? The Out From Under Sydney Seamed High-Rise Legging ($29, originally $39) is made from a warm fleece knit that's stretchy enough for some yoga poses, but so comfortable you might fall asleep in it afterwards.

The crisscrossing straps on the Koral End Point Cross-Back Sports Bra ($105) are cute, sure, but also give you double the support. The wide bust band and removable cups don't hurt either. The scarlet and silver blocks of color make it just as pretty from the front, too.

The Koral Charisma Colorblock High-Rise Legging ($115) has a sleek metallic sheen and a swirl of silver that cuts through the color blocks and wraps around from front to back, giving it a unified, one-of-a-kind look. It's made from a compression fabric to give you support along with style.

With its pops of white and blue, the UO Frankie Colorblock Cropped Legging ($44) is a subtle twist on the classic black legging. The length keeps you cool and comfortable during hard workouts, too.

The Champion + HVN for Urban Outfitters Leopard Bra Top ($20, originally $45) is a subtle but gorgeous standout in the sports bra category. It's high-cut, but the cut-in sides and a little bit of mesh at the top keep it light and breathable. And then there's the leopard-accented band and crew-neck collar, giving this bra a style all its own.

Slip into the Puma XTG 94 Track Pant ($65) to keep you warm during a cold-weather workout or stay comfy once you're home from the gym. The zippered cuffs create a tapered leg that's ideal for giving you full range of motion during workouts and a stylish silhouette afterwards.

Olive green isn't for everyone, but if you like it, then you'll love the Nike Metallic Legging ($70, originally $80). The metallic sheen and handy hip pockets aren't bad either.

If you're buying olive green leggings, you might as well buy an olive green top. The Nike Metallic Long Sleeve Top ($50, originally $60) has a bodycon style that's cropped just above the waist and is stretchy and breathable for whatever workout you have planned.

The Nike Sport District Classic Colorblock Sports Bra ($40) looks familiar enough, until you turn it around to see the deep V-cut in the back. That plus the striking black and white colorblocking on the front make this a statement sports bra that's just bold enough.

Wear the LNDR All Seasons High-Neck Sports Bra ($95) under your favorite workout shirt or on its own with the matching leggings; the high neck and eye-catching patterns make it almost look like a crop top. It's also super supportive, quick-drying, and thermal-regulating — in other words, it'll keep you the right temperature no matter how cold (or hot) it is outside.

The Puma XTG 94 Track Jacket ($70) is perfect to throw on for that cold walk between your car and the gym. If you're still chilly after that, its elastic sleeves and hem give it a relaxed fit that gives you the right range of motion for your workout while keeping it from dragging or getting caught. Add in a simple black and white colorblocking scheme and we're sold.

The thick straps and wide band of the Out From Under Nikkie Double-Strap Racerback Sports Bra ($34) make it perfect for bigger busts, high-impact workouts, and any time you want a little more support. The fact that the racer back strap is mesh — breathable plus stylish — makes us love this bra even more.
