A few weeks ago Gabriela did a post about exercise fashion, and I could absolutely relate. I often rock old gym shorts paired with a massive t-shirt when I exercise. There’s obviously nothing wrong with that, but there is definitely something fun and even more motivating when cute and sassy workout clothes are involved!
I’m always looking for nice yet comfortable exercise clothes, so when I was contacted by Alo to give their workout gear a try, I happily obliged. It’s not always easy for me to find workout clothes that fit well, though, so I was a bit nervous when the gear arrived in the mail. To my delight, I seriously loved what I tried on.
I really liked the print and design of this Keyhole Tank…

…but what I liked even more was how it fit. Stretchy + soft + built-in bra…this covered pretty much all the bases.
I really loved the Color Block Pants as well. Like with the top, the material is stretchy yet super soft and comfortable. They’ve also got a great thick band across the waist, which is important because I can’t stand when workout pants are too low.

One of the best things about Alo is that it’s actually a green clothing line.
How cool is that?! And while these pieces are a bit more pricey than what I’d usually spend, I can tell that they’re going to last me for at least a few years.
Mission fashion meets fitness…success! Be sure to stay tuned because there may or may not be a chance to get some Alo sportswear of your own in the near future 
- What does your exercise attire usually look like?
That top is super cute!
I am actually a huge fan of the shirts with built-in bras as well. I switch it up from the short and a (breathable) t-shirt to all-lululemon. It basically depends on what is or is not in the laundry at the moment. It can be motivating to look nice (especially when mirrors are involved) but comfort is my #1 priority at all times.
Love the workout clothes - adorable!! I like to wear things that fit pretty well and I totally agree - having something sassy to wear makes the workouts that much more fun!
definitely very cute! and look at that booty! ow ow!
I cant really wear tops like that to work out in. My boobs need more support! haha
I hear ya on that one, Lisa!
But boob support aside, these workout clothes are super cute!
Yeah, I just wore this top to the gym and realized that a sports bra under there probably wouldn’t be a horrible idea
Totally cute
My exercise attire is always just leggings and a random old sorority T-shirt. Classy, of course! OH — and my new balance 1226s, LOVE them.
i love that top!! i always rock either black lulu pants or black capris…i HATE working out in shorts!!!
All my drawers are FILLED with workout clothes. I can never get enough!
cute exercise clothes are my nemesis… as in they try to destroy my bank account. i used to be a cotton tee exerciser, and now i’m all about the tanks.
SO cute! I agree.. exercising is more fun with cute clothes! Not that I own any, but I’d imagine it would be more fun if I dressed cute
I’m usually a big t shirt kinda gal but these are so cute!
I usually buy workout clothes at Target or the Nike outlet. I never spend a ton on workout clothes, but I do ALWAYS try to find wicking materials. I am a sweaty gal when I exercise.
cute !!! love that more clothing lines are going green these days
mine is usually just a cut off tshirt with a pair of target running shorts
I used to exercise in baggy shorts and T’s, but it left me feeling dumpy. Now I work out in fitted (shorter) shorts and a very fitted / supportive workout top. This also works for me because I’m a total sweat-er! So the less I have on the cooler I feel and the longer I can go at it!
You look super cute btw!
Agreed - I’m a major sweat-er too! That’s one of the top 3 things I tend to consider when buying workout clothes!
I almost always wear NY&Company yoga pants (not capris) and one of a zillion colored cotton tank tops I have. I also have several sports bras (Nike Dry-Fit) in all different colors so they add a bit of color, too.
Super cute tank ya got there, but that wouldn’t be quite enough to hold up my girls HA! None of the “sports bra embedded” get-ups work for me:(
Those workout clothes are so cute!! Yeah, I dress terribly when I work out. Yesterday in particular was a pretty bad day with my old gym shorts all wrinkled from the dryer and a baggy shirt. I really need to update my workout clothes, lol.
Cute top! I used to wear pants and t-shirt but I got motivation by buying cuter tops!
That top is really cute! I usually wear my Lululemon shorts with either a tank or an old t-shirt if I’m feeling in a sloppy mood.
that top is so cute. i always have a hard time finding tops too.
i have a gym outfit, its simple & comfortable
my exercise attire is not cute. usually black pants and an old tshirt haha. PS - I gave you a blog award!
Most of my gear isn’t toooo bad. All of my tops are pretty new. Some of my shorts and decent. And then some are old ragged sweatpant shorts that could really use the trash. I think my exercise gear drawer has some decent balance going on though
That top is super cute! I am usually the old yoga pants and tee kinda girl, but recently I threw down the big bucks for some Lululemon gear and I absolutely love it - and they do seem like it will last a long time! I definitely agree that looking cute is great workout motivation!
Loving the new outfit!!!
That is TOO cute! And I get most of my workout attire from Target. Cheap but super adorable!
OW OWWW HOTTIE! YO YO YO MOMMA LET YOU DATE?!?!
I actually look like total crap when i workout.. no cute outfits.. it would prob make working out more exciting though if i did wear cute clothes!
Ugh, Low low butt crack workout pants piss me off too! I like to be comfy and un-self consious!
[...] fashion and fitness unite. [...]
Love it!! I either wear a lot of different workout clothes. But you can usually always find me in running capris!! So comfortable, I want to live in them. All day, every day!
Ugh, I have a pair of those too low pants you talked about. I hate them! Despite the wide waistband, these pants actually look cute! They don’t sound very constricting, like my pants are.
I love ALO too! Such a cute outfit;)
Alo clothes are the best!
