Keeping up with your fitness routine? You deserve a round of applause. We’re here to help you continue the great work by facilitating your workout wardrobe. For women, finding great clothes for exercise is often tricky; there are fit problems, dinky fabrics, wacky colors, and strange cuts that we will inevitably deal with. Luckily, we’ve got plenty of experience. From a sexy workout jumpsuit to a dainty tennis dress, activewear has come a long way from the days of Soffe shorts and ribbed tank tops. Without further ado, here's our two cents on what women should be wearing to get their sweat on in 2018.
