My go to fitness look is a tank top and leggings. My personal preference is to not wear the matching bra and leggings sets, and thankfully that saves me on a lot of  overspending on gym clothes. Since I just joined a new gym I've been on a mission lately to find some new workout clothes that are both cute and sweat proof. I've done a lot of online ordering and returning! I've tried out some new to me brands and but still like my tried and true brands. I have a mid-size figure and wanted to find that perfect workout outfit that keeps me comfy during those sweaty sessions at the gym. If your activewear is the same style as mine, I got you covered as I'm going to share my favorite tanks, leggings, socks, bras and water bottle.

I've been obsessed with finding light pink workout clothes for years and only now are stores really starting to carry it so I couldn't be more excited! It's been especially it's been hard to find sneakers in light pink. Here's some pieces to deck you out from head to toe in pink.

Have you heard of Millennial Pink? It's not just one shade of pink, it a range of light pinks from rose quartz, to blush, to rose gold. It's a muted barbie pink so it could be a pink between beige and peach. My favorite summer pink nail polish colors cover this spectrum. It may be the new trending color, but I've been a fan of this shade for years. However it's so hard to find serious running shoes in this color and tank tops. Why is that?

I had to stop by the Lululemon store while I was in Santa Monica. I picked up some more colors of my favorite running tank - Cool Racerback. It's simple, streamlined, a long length and great for working on your tan line while running. It's light cool fabric that resists sweat and super soft to the touch. I'm loving their new camo pattern!

I talked about plum a month ago, and it seems it's the color of the season for lululemon right now. In fact it's so hot the crops sold out online and in stores in less than a week! Luckily I was able to snag a pair! Here's a close up detail of in the flow crop ii in the heathered plum color as it's hard to see the design in the dark colors online. The color is amazing as I was looking for colored pants (that wasn't too bright) to wear with the black backless top I got recently. There's not a string waist band and I wore these to the Electric Run and I have to say they did sag a bit when running. It's made of cotton, not that usual luon the rest of lululemon clothing is made out of, yet still moisture wicking fabric and around the knees it's more sheer. The waist is a bit higher than my other workout crops. It look funny on the hanger because of the pattern, but very flattering to wear.

If you're spending good money on your workout clothes by shopping at lululemon, I'm sure you want your clothes to last! With seeing so many women at the gym with sheer pant backs when they bend over, I make a point to never put my workout pants in the dryer. I hang them up to dry in my shower and they dry pretty fast within a day. I wash all my laundry in cold water to save energy and research has shown it still gets perfectly clean. I use Tide Cold Water detergent which is specially formulated to be used with cold water. I've been loyal to Tide my whole life, even my mother used it because it's always been supreme at the top of Consumer Reports list for best detergent, that's the only reason I haven't switched to "green" detergents when the rest of my cleaning supplies are. I also only use half the detergent recommended to save money because I've read that you only need half a cap to get your clothes clean. Washing machines are more efficient these days, detergents are more concentrated, the company just wanted you to have to buy a new bottle faster. I don't use fabric softeners and dry sheets because the chemicals aren't good for you. I use dryer balls instead to reduce the static electricity and decrease my drying time.  I did find a product I liked that makes your sheets and towels smell so good!

While we're talking about workout clothes,  I've been waiting to find red workout clothes for awhile and lululemon just came out with the color "Love Red". In person it's very vibrant, almost neon with an orange hint to it. I got the backless one.

 

I got a comment that my blog is just for women so I wanted to post a couple items that make men look incredible at the gym. The thing you should know about lululemon is that they basically keep the same model style but release new colors every few months, so just remember the name of the product you like and keep checking back for new colors. Lululemon is a bit pricey, but the quality of their fabrics really makes it worth it! Sure these items come in basic black and blue, but pick some fun spring/summery colors!
I think this is a great style shirt to train in and looks sexy on men! The Metal Vent Tech is made with moisture-wicking, anti-stink material. The reviews affirm that by saying, "this is a superior product that lives up to all expectations." It comes in 20 colors so it should definitely become a staple in your wardrobe! Definitely try the shirt on first as it seems to run large in sizing. For best care, hang it to dry in the shower, don't put it in the dryer, it shouldn't take more than 20 min for it to air dry.

The Pace Breaker Short is one of their best selling models. It comes in 4 colors. They're a lightweight stretchy fabric with an athletic fit. It features built in boxer brief liner to keep everything in place. It also has a drawstring waist, 2 deep side pockets, and one zippered pocket at the bottom of the shorts - how awesome is that! The 9" length is so perfect for a sporty and functional look. 

Always check out their sale section which has very limited inventory and everything does not end up there, but sometimes you can get a nice treat.
