22 Affordable Athleisure Pieces You Can Wear To The Gym, On A Flight, Running Errands, Or Just On Your Couch
An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. And another Lululemon-inspired piece, a charming and oh-so-comfortable tennis skirt with built-in shorts similar to the Align style. The secret inner pocket on these is perfect for stashing keys and tennis balls, and the shorts are designed with a four-way stretch so they won't ride up. A square-neck compressive body suit that's basically ten outfits in one — you can rock it solo, wear it as a bodysuit tucked into jeans, or pair it with a hoodie or a jacket. Go, little base layer, gooooo! A pair of ~Dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these. And a pair of high-waisted crossover flare leggings your butt will thank you for in advance — these are the ultimate in comfort and breathability while still staying on trend. Reviewers who have more expensive pairs from Lululemon, GymShark, and Aerie actually say they *prefer* these over them. A pair of Buff Bunny–inspired booty-highlighting biker shorts for anyone who wants to add some fun prints and colors to their favorite ~asset~ when they're on the move, for a fraction of the usual $48 price. A ridiculously soft oversize hoodie reviewers compare to $$ brands like Skims, Aritzia, and Abercrombie. You know how on TikTok sometimes people say "this hoodie hoodies" like it's a noun and a verb? Enter this cult-favorite, reviewer-beloved hoodie, which does, in fact, hoodie. A super lightweight, loose-fitting, high-neck muscle tank for fans of the Lululemon version at a *much* lower price point. This is a breezy *dream* thanks to the quick-dry fabric, the cross-over pleat in the back, and the slight petal hem at the bottom. A "bare feel" slim-fitted workout top designed with such soft, stretchy fabric that you'll feel breezier than you ever have in long sleeves. If you're a human who loves to layer, this is an option you'll definitely want in your athleisure arsenal. A lightweight pair of UPF 50 hiking pants for anyone who wants REI or Patagonia-quality gear without the big ole price tag. These wrinkle-free, quick-dry, MANY-POCKETED pants are a must-have for busy travelers and outdoorsy humans. A cozy, delightfully polished yoga tracksuit set that lives comfortably at the intersection of "yes, I am going to do some mindful exercise later" and "I could drop and take a nap on a random couch at any time." This ultra-soft, wrinkle-resistant, lightweight set is a major fan-favorite of reviewers on long haul flights. A trusty cropped fleece pullover with trendy exposed seams reviewers compare to a popular mall brand version that typically goes for $128. This lightweight piece is a perfect "just in case" layer to throw in your bag, depending on the shifts in the weather (or the gym's DEEPLY TEMPERAMENTAL AC). A pair of elevated, effortlessly chic wide leg petal sweatpants that look like they fell out of an Anthropologie ad. Reviewers love how cozy and breathable these are, and that the style is perfect for indoor lounging *and* outdoor errands. A sleeveless tennis sundress for anyone whose fitness goals always include a checkbox for "be as cute as possible." This dress features a full built-in compressive romper on the inside for support while you're moving and grooving, making it an excellent option for travel, too. A pair of zebra print leggings for an unexpected ~pop~ of fun at the gym, because life is entirely too short to waste on boring leggings. These are designed with a comfortable four-way stretch with a raised, comfortable waistband for the ultimate in comfy function. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers swear by for perfect Lululemon Align Jogger alternatives, especially because the wickaway fabric feels cozy and ~expensive~ at the same time. If you are a fan of wide-cut flat waistbands, you need to invest in a pair of these, stat. A Happiness Runs crop top from FP Movement that I am frankly *obsessed* with and own in six colors. It's super comfy and just the right amount of compressive for casual wear — a lot of reviewers swear by it for yoga, pilates, and errand running. A pair of wide-leg high-waisted yoga pants for the *ultimate* in sophisticated comfort — particularly since these are basically work pants in camouflage. Are they for yoga class or corporate nonsense?? That's nobody's business but yours and your booty's. 🥰 A pair of Nike Pro 365 bike shorts well-known for the perfect amount of compression and Dri-FIT tech fabric that keeps you cool even in the sweatiest of circumstances. Reviewers especially love the care that went into designing them so they don't ride up! A "Second Skin" set so breezy and lightweight that it's designed to feel like it's not even there. Bonus — because these come in a set, they're also fun to mix and match based on the vibe! A trendy, oh-so-comfortable cinched jumpsuit a ton of reviewers *swear* by as the ultimate travel and lounge piece, since it is easy to pack as a "one and done" outfit, matches any kind of shoe or outer layer vibe, and is ridiculously cozy to boot. A pair of Nike-inspired oversize fleece cargo joggers complete with POCKETS, made with a cotton blend so satisfyingly soft that it'll be a miracle if you ever pull yourself out of Lounge Hound Mode again.
