If you can plan your workout wardrobe right, you can get a lot more bang for your buck! Who needs a pair of workout leggings AND a pair of casual leggings? Why can’t one pair live a double life?!?
Here are 3 items that don’t need much room in your closet, but will leave you with more money in your wallet!
1. Leggings: There’s one major difference between workout leggings and fashion leggings; the outside of the leg seam. On workout leggings there is one which makes them stand out as workout leggings. On fashion leggings, the outside of the leg has NO seam. If you purchase the Lululemon Cardio Crop Capris ($78) and a pair of J. Crew Signature leggings ($39.50), you spend $117.50! Here’s the trick: find moisture wicking, quick drying “workout leggings” without the seam. Try ANY Zobha leggings, my favorite being the ruched capris ($79)! Other brands to note: RESE Activewear Natalie & Kori leggings and ROGIANI Leggings.
You SAVE $40 by only having to buy one pair!
2. Functional, yet Funky, Tops: Why workout in tops that are so plain jane and then have to go change to go out? You could wear the Prana Prism Tank ($50) and then change into the Cynthia Lace Racerback tank from BCBG ($78) for a cute workout tank and sexy going out tank, but functional, sexy workout tops exist! Check out the Tees By Tina Smooth Tank in Leopard ($49) and Bluefish Energy Top ($69). Let’s say you buy the more expensive tank (bc you are still saving money)…
You SAVE $59! Total savings so far: $99!
3. Structured Workout Jackets: Everyone loves a hoodie, like the Lululemon Scuba Hoodie ($148), but throwing a hoodie on with jeans is SO casual and can be seen as messy. You end up buying another jacket like Aqua’s Fitted Girlfriend Blazer ($88) to wear with jeans in order to look put together. Instead of buying two jackets, you could get one with a mandarin collar that looks like a blazer but is comfy like a sweatshirt. My personal faves: Zobha Essential Jacket ($115), RESE Andreea Jacket ($125) and the MPG Trek Jacket ($125). Again, let’s choose the most expensive jacket.
You SAVE $111 on jackets!
Overall savings: $210! Holy moses!
