Happy Friday! I am headed up to NYC for the weekend so I’ve let my little sister, Megan Elizabeth take over H&T with her first guest post. She’s my best friend, role model and is currently in grad school back home in Florida. Enjoy!
I love attending fitness classes like barre, Les Mills Bodyflow and yoga. Although they all have similar style clothing, (making it easy and fun for shopping!), I’ll be talking about cute outfit options for barre classes. Being comfortable while working out is a must for me. And who doesn’t want to look cute too? Putting on workout clothes that you love and look forward to wearing provide a great boost to make it to your barre class that day!
Since I’m a graduate student on budget, I’m usually a big fan of inexpensive workout clothes that look like the pricier pieces (the pricier ones tend to make it on my “wish list”). In this post I’d love to give you some great options no matter what budget you’re on. I’ll show you my favorite, splurge worthy pieces, and their affordable counterparts.
SPLURGE
Free To Be Bra by lululemon – $42
This bra has it a all. A cute style, different color and pattern options, double cross back, removable padding, and comfortable fabric. I’ll take one in each color please.
Lattice Back Cami by Beyond Yoga – $75
Although I usually prefer loose fitting tops for barre, I am in love with this crossed back fitted cami. It’s super stylish and would be just as comfortable as a flowing top, with adjustable straps and plenty of colors to choose from (black is my fave)!
Tendu Grip Performance Stirrup Tight by Splits 59 – $106
These pants are PERFECT for barre! It’s a footed tight which means no need for socks for this gal in class.
SAVE
C9 Double Strap Yoga Bra by Champion at Target – $10
This bra is super cute and super affordable, with a similar crossed back to our splurge. I especially love the coral print option!
GoDRY Graphic Tank by Old Navy – $12
Like I said earlier, flowing tanks are my favorite for barre. I’ve recently started wearing loose tops with little motivational sayings on them, and this tank by Old Navy would be a great wear while burning those muscles in barre! LIVE. LEARN. BURN.
Colorblocked Active Yoga Legging by Forever 21 – $21.80
Another great site for saving on cute workout gear – Forever 21. I’ve found countless sports bras, tops and leggings here, for the most affordable prices. My save for today are these color blocked leggings, which rival many splurges in style and comfort. I especially love the dark grey/peony pair!
Now get to shopping and get to tucking in style in your next barre class!
