Thrifting the Trends

Thrifty Finds: How to Find High Quality Workout Clothes for Less

February 26, 2015 by Double Minted

Athletic wear is one of those apparel categories that can be sneakily expensive. Now with the booming trend in athletic clothing as everyday clothing, this is even more true. Companies like Lululemon and Athleta have pretty much demolished the “leggings aren’t pants” adage.
 
So where can a fitness conscious girl find cute, high quality, low-cost workout clothes? You guessed it – the thrift store! Now we know buying used workout clothes might seem a bit icky to some, but we know these items have been properly laundered. Plus, when in doubt, follow your nose! If you catch a whiff of something funky (which we never did!), throw it back on the rack.
 
Check out the fun and colorful styles we found – many of them very gently used and from high quality brands! And compare them with full price equivalents.
