Favorite workout wear

Would love to find some new favorites. Please mention what you like, no matter the price point, someone may be interested (and there are always sales).
Tops? Bottoms? Both? Better for tights or shorts or everything?

It also may be helpful to mention if you have a particular body type that makes it hard to find things sometimes.

Also mention anything you like for “athleisure”.

I love Fabletics leggings. I wear them for yoga and can't even tell I'm wearing them.

I am tall (5'7") and thin but I have friend who is 5'3" and a bit on the 'heavy' side and she loves them as well.

As for price, they are quite reasonable on-line but I've been able to find styles that have been discontinued at my local Label Shopper for $12.00.

My new favorite tights are Sweet Legs. I think it’s a Canadian company, so not sure if they are available in the US. They are so soft & comfy with dozens of fun designs. And they are very reasonably priced.

I’ve looked at them before, and I got put off by the website. Is there any way to see what they have without giving them information?
And there is a way to purchase without being a member?

I am a fan of Athleta. Quality is excellent though they are pricey. I find bottoms to be consistently sized but tops are not always the same; I can’t be confident that a large in one style will fit the same as a large in another style. That’s my only gripe about them. I have had clothes that I have worn for years and they don’t fade, pill, shrink, etc. they just don’t wear out.

I tend to size up a bit. I gather they're designed to be suitable for long marathon type challenge things, fitted close to the body.

They used to design in small batch, limited edition runs of everything, but that business model seems to be changing. Not sure what that'll look like.

I agree. The Athleta tights I own have held up well. Some of the other products I’ve tried, made of different fabrics, don’t seem to be of the same quality.

Tops seem to be harder to get right in any of the brands I’ve tried, unless it’s a plain basic tank.

These are very interesting designs, I will take a closer look.

Those are good prices, and a wide selection. I like how they have leggings for girls in some of the same styles as women’s.
