Beautiful Activewear Pieces That Won't Break Your Budget

Splurging on a gorgeous, technical activewear piece is always a treat, but when working out is a part of your everyday routine, you need to build out your fitness wardrobe with some more affordable options. The good news: you don't have to spend a fortune to find beautiful, stylish pieces that are just as fashionable as they are functional. Here are some sweat-wicking, supportive, and saving-savvy brands that'll take you from the gym to the street with ease.

Target C9 by Champion

Target C9 by Champion

Punchy colors meet striking silhouettes at a competitive price point in Target's line of activewear by Champion, C9. Although there are frequent sales, the full-priced items are on the low side to begin with — tights are under $40, and sports bras are typically under $20 (this pretty bra is our favorite, and it's $20!).

Old Navy Active

If you're a fan of brands like Nike and Lululemon, you'll love Old Navy Active. With a very similar aesthetic to the two megaliths of fitness apparel, Old Navy delivers a surprisingly fashion-forward, sleek set of styles, with beautiful prints and eye-catching designs. This longline sports bra and tights set will only put you out about $50 total.

Fabletics by Kate Hudson

Forever 21

Forever 21

Forever 21 takes the cake as the cheapest activewear (overall) on this list. With $14 sports bras, $9 tanks, and $20 leggings, you could stock up on a brand-new wardrobe without putting too much of a dent in your checking account. We love this geometric-print, strappy-back sports bra for $15.

Calia by Carrie Underwood

The American Idol-champion-turned-country-star-turned-activewear-designer Carrie Underwood brings a fresh, sumptuous take on fitness apparel to the market, with sophisticated colors and feminine silhouettes. Best of all? With tanks around $30 and bottoms around $50, an activewear set from Calia won't demolish your discretionary income.

Jessica Simpson: The Warm Up

Jessica Simpson: The Warm Up

Yet another starlet breaking into the world of activewear, Jessica Simpson debuted The Warm Up last year. The collection is featured at Macy's and boasts bold, loud prints and flattering cuts. Leggings are typically under $40, with tops and sports bras coming in around $30 each.
