I'm Morphing Into a Pilates Princess With These 14 Under-$150 Workout Sets
There's nothing quite as motivating in picking up a new movement routine than buying a fresh activewear set. With the power of a matching bra and legging combination, the world's challenges somehow seem more solvable. Although an integral part of workout routines everywhere, the power of a matching set doesn't come cheap—they can cost upwards of $200 given the amount of trendy, fashion-forward athleisure and athletic brands striving to create the cutest, comfiest sets while still retaining cinching, sweat-wicking materials. Lucky for you, I've been trying Pilates and yoga, meaning I've been hunting for matching workout sets that won't cost me an arm and a leg. Keep scrolling to discover 14 of my favorite colorful workout sets that make me feel like Hailey Bieber strolling around in L.A. with an iced dirty chai oat-milk latte.
Whether you're heading to a Pilates class, hiking, or forcing yourself out of bed to walk around the neighborhood, these affordable activewear sets from celeb-loved brands like Set Active and ALO will leave you feeling put together.
Girlfriend Collective has to be one of the most size-inclusive activewear brands on the market right now.
Although I'm partial to longer biker shorts, there's something so chic about a neutral mini pair for heading to your local yoga studio.
437 is my new favorite activewear brand, and thanks to its ultra-flattering styles, I've been getting so many compliments from my fitness instructors.
Although this three-piece set doesn't come in under the $150 mark, its matching jacket is a fan favorite if you can splurge.
Shop the jacket here.
Although this set is newer in my activewear collection, I have to admit that it's probably one of the most comfortable ones I own.
This muted olive is definitely showing up on Bieber soon.
This celeb-adored brand has a cult following, and after visiting its New York City location, I can see why. Its sets are some of the cutest on the market.
Honestly, I'd wear this set to lounge around Central Park on a hot day.
If you're looking to make a bright statement, look no further.
Girlfriend Collectives' colors always take my breath away.
No joke, I'm watching the Barbie movie with my friends after our Saturday morning spin class, and I may or may not have bought these just because of that.
I'm so tempted to grab this color for the hot summer days.
Me, if I matched with my iced matcha latte.
