You know that feeling when you’re working out and see yourself from behind in a mirror … only to realize that your leggings are completely see through?

That’s what happens when you snatch up cheaply made leggings thinking it’s a good deal (I’m looking at you, Forever 21!). Since experiencing that fitness faux paux, I’ve said goodbye to semi-transparent spandex and opted for higher quality workout gear.

But I’m not even saying you should shell out your life savings for a pair of Lululemon leggings. They’re a great brand, but there are plenty of other quality activewear lines at really reasonable price points.

My current obsession: Lou & Grey Active (also available here). My crop top and printed leggings are both part of the line and the super affordable, super cozy brand just released a new collection for fall. Sadly, these leggings are already sold out, but there are plenty of others to choose from (like this gray abstract print pair).

Shop Lou & Grey Active:

There’s just something about brand new workout gear that just makes sprint a little faster and hustle a little harder. It makes me feel a little more confident and a whole lot stronger. Anyone else get that feeling?

    You’re adorable!! And I’m freaking obsessed with Lou and Grey! My mom, sister, and I ALWAYS shop in LOFT together (maybe its because of the huge changing rooms lol).
    This look is totally ‘activewear’ approved haha.
    Have a great day girl!

    About the see through leggings, I had that and it is so not pleasant. Spent the rest of the day trying to recollect all I had done when i was wearing the legging to evaluate the level of embarrassment lol.. not funny lol. i definitely invest in my gym gear now, so worth it.
    i love the prints on your leggings.. and your sneakers too, I want them 🙂

    I had no idea that Lou and Grey made activewear! Obsessed. My first stop is usually Lulu, but it’s pricey and I totally know what you mean about cheap activewear- I once had this nightmarish pair of Target yoga pants that tore at just the wrong time. Always better to be safe with great quality than sorry!
