If your New Year’s resolution involves making the most of your gym membership, the Cut is here to help. We’ve rounded up the best bras, leggings, and tops for any kind of fitness activity, whether you prefer to run on a treadmill, cycle your heart out at a spin class, or hold a sweaty downward dog in yoga. Here’s our list of the best workout clothes for women.

If You Want to Look Trendy

Outdoor Voices sets have exploded in popularity this year, and it’s easy to see why. The distinctive multi-colored outfits are prepared to help you tackle whatever you signed up for on Classpass that day.
Available in sizes XS–XL.

If You Want to Look Good and Do Good

These are made from recycled water bottles, and Girlfriend Collective uses ethical factories to produce them. A win for everyone, including you!
Available in sizes XS–3X.

If You Want a Classic Pair of Leggings

Lululemon leggings are all but essential to the “Going to the Gym” starter pack, partly because they’re so comfortable.
Available in sizes 2–14.

If Tanks Aren’t Your Thing

Not everybody wants to work out in something skin-tight. Here’s a top that’s still stylish but offers a bit of breathing room.
Available in sizes S–L.

If You Want Leggings That Function As Pants, Too

If You Like a High Rise

If You Don’t Want Leggings
