When it comes to exercise apparel, we consider ourselves experts on the cute workout tops and good quality yoga pants. Each week, we put our activewear to the test on our YouTube channel, so we know a thing or two about affordable athletic wear and workout clothes on Amazon. Cute gym clothes don’t have to be expensive. In fact, many of these picks are affordable—under $50—finds.

But, we also know that when you’re looking for workout leggings and tanks on Amazon, you want quality! With so many choices for affordable athletic wear, the task of ordering the best workout clothes can be daunting. There is nothing worse than waiting for a package to arrive, only to be disappointed in the quality or fit.

Lululemon lover? This list includes some of our newest finds for brands like Lululemon!

How to Pick the Best Workout Clothes

When looking for quality athleisure wear, we want to make sure that our gym outfits are also going to stand up to a difficult (and sweaty!) workout! While purchasing cheap workout clothes may save you money when you first purchase them, if they don’t hold up to a workout (or in the washing machine!), they end up being even more expensive! Surprisingly, Amazon can be one of the best places to buy cute workout clothes and matching sets if you know where to look!

Find Workout Clothes That Fit

Some of the best athleisure brands are known for their fit. The best workout shirts and tops allow you to move freely during activity, but also feel supportive when you need it. Anything too tight, with uncomfortable bands, wires, or seams, or simply a poor fit will not only be distracting, but quickly find itself in the bottom of your drawers, never to be worn again. Finding the best leggings on Amazon means finding a pair that always has enough stretch to fit snugly through the hips and thighs but also, stretchy enough to not prevent you from squatting or moving.

No matter what brand of activewear you select, make sure that you size up if an item runs small and don’t get caught up in the vanity sizing! The important part is how it fits, not what size it is.

Is the Fabric Sweat or Squat Proof?

It’s not enough to just be a cute workout outfit. The best workout clothes also have fabric that is sweat-proof and, most importantly, squat-proof. No one wants to be the victim of showing anything they would rather not during a workout. Let’s face it: We’ve all been or seen that person at the gym. Eek!

Workout clothes also need to be made of breathable material that doesn’t keep in heat or prevent you from sweating. Often, cheap activewear is made of low quality polyester that does not hold up to a vigorous workout. Add in the fact that cheap fabrics often lock in odor, you’ll soon find that your affordable purchase wasn’t really a sound investment.

Instead, focus on lightweight fabrics to wick away sweat and keep you smelling fresh.

Avoid Cheap Leggings and Workout Tops

We’ve found some of the best affordable leggings are not only made of comfortable fabric, but are also durable. We want our gym clothing to be able to go into the washing machine, hold its shape and fit, and not stretch out during our workouts! This includes seams that unravel easily or fabric that pills! This also goes doubly for fabrics that need to be specially laundered to avoid damage. If you have to hand wash an item only, chances are it’s not going to hold up for a high intensity workout.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite Amazon purchases this year into a list that we call the best workout clothes on Amazon in 2024!
