I like the idea of looking good while working out. Weather I achieve “looking good” or not is questionable. My favorite look is a tight athletic tank paired with yoga pants or lounge pants. I especially like wearing my pink sports bra under a yellow racer-back tank and black pants. I always feel amazing when I wear this combo. Don’t ask why.
Although I care what I look like when I work out I hate the idea of spending $50 plus for a pair of pants or just as much on a t-shirt I’m going to wear while sweating. These items I know will be washed over and over again only to die. Faded, nubby versions of their former selves. So sad.
Solution to my dilema: I LOVE the Danskin line at Wal-Mart….yes, Wal-Mart!
Prices range from $5 – $15 depending on the item.
The lounge pants are by far my favorite Danskin item. They are soft and comfortable and come in several styles including boot cut, relaxed and modern. I have put these pants up against expensive designer yoga/lounge pants and have found them to be comparable in quality, fit and style. Another selling point is that they come in sizes ranging from XS - multi-XL. Their bottoms also include pants, capris, etc. depending on the season.
The standard $5 cotton tee is nothing to write home about and the fit is not slim enough for my taste. They do have some pretty sweet racer-back tanks in the $7 – $10 range made from dry-weave fabric as well as hoodies and wind-breakers.
Although I don’t bat an eyelash when parting with large amounts of money for handbags, eye wear and designer clothes I just can’t seem to do the same when it comes to workout wear. Wal-Mart has filled the gap nicely. Check it out…I promise you won’t be disappointed!
