Look fabulous while you get in shape.
By Aly Walansky — Written on Mar 20, 2019
We don't always want to work out, especially after a long day of work, but we do it because it's good for us. Exercise is good for our energy levels, our health, and staying at a healthy weight.
Of course, motivation is absolutely the name of the game, and sometimes the best way to do something we're not so sure of is to be cute while we're doing it! And these are the cutest, best workout clothes we could find.
1. Betsey Johnson Criss-Cross Back Cutout Leggings
These are some of the softest workout clothes you'll ever get your hands on. The high waist adds even more comfort and support during any workout, and the criss-cross detail on the calves adds extra style, so you may even want to rock them out to post-yoga brunch.
