The best part of working out-by far- is having an excuse for workout clothes. I would say 3/4 of my wardrobe is workout and the rest is sweatpants.. jk I do have a few work outfits and jeans.
My addiction aside, it is important to have comfortable and breathable workout clothes. The number one most important thing of course, is proper footwear. Make sure you have a pair of running shoes that isn't worn down, is good for your foot shape. Running room, Sports 4 and other stores are geat for helping you find a good shoe for you. If you are interested in vibrams or barefoot style shoes, there are options as well. Apparently costco was selling vibrams for $50 so it's good to keep your eye out for sales.
For women it's also important to have a good supportive sports bra.
In terms of running gear, I love the website- http://www.runningwarehouse.com/ especially if you live in the US or can order it there. They have amazing deals.
I love Lululemon clothes- http://shop.lululemon.com/home.jsp- although recently I am not likeling their styles as much. It's always good to check out the "woops we made too much" section or to hit up the store on boxing day.
Old navy-http://www.oldnavy.ca/ also has good active wear for quite cheap. Their selection varies seasonally.
Other brands that I love are nike and under armor (outlets are great)
Workout clothes can be a good reward for reaching a goal, and they encourage you to workout more! Pick something that you look and feel good in.
Where do you like to get your workout clothes? What do you think is worth the splurge and what can you get away with?
