I must confess, when I was younger and I thought I had nowhere to shop my mother and I would wear mens clothing A LOT! Just recently I had the same dilemma when I joined a gym. Shopping around I took one look at the tiny yoga tops and pants that surrounded me and headed straight for the sweats in the mens section of Wal-Mart. But after months of feelng awkward (and extremely hot from the thick layers of cotton) I realized that when it comes to work out clothes when you look great you feel great. I needed to do more research so I did some googling and a trek around SportChek and came up with these faves:
My absolute favourite purchase was this AdiShape jacket (complete with thumbholes at the wrists for strength training) from Adidas along with the capris. The jacket isn't available online but I found it in-store at SportChek along with a really cute Diadora hoody. Also, there were some great tops from Nike, Columbia and Firefly although Nike has a wider selection on their website.
I was hoping for a good find at Lululemon and came up with nothing but came across Miowear a plus size yoga clothing line while web surfing. The clothing is cut wonderfully and looks amazing and comfortable. I also found a few good yoga pieces along with some sports bras at Old Navy.
As for the men's sweats I still borrow a few pieces from the boys here and there. There's nothing like a good baggy sweatpant paired with a fitted top. Below is a look into my gym bag. Have fun shopping ladies!
