With these clothes in your closet, there’s no reason to fear getting a lil’ sweaty.

I am a contributor and former editor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping since 2020, where I'm focused on everything from home decor to beauty to where to buy the world's most comfortable high heels.

Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

Promising reviews: "Literally SHOCKED at how good this is — my friends guessed Aritzia, Zara, Skims, etc. when I asked them where they thought it was from when I wore it. The set is super thick and of good quality. Fits like a glove, true medium. Legit shocked." —Allison K. Batinelli

"I love this set!!! Fits great and didn’t show sweat when I worked out in it. Very comfortable." —Carolyn

Promising reviews: "I wear these under my leggings for running. They are not too tight, and they keep my legs from being too sore and swelling after longer runs." —Scottie

"Great added pressure, not too tight, but enough so my calves don’t hurt after leg day at the gym. I also use them for long hikes too, they have been a great help!" —Phong Ly

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S/M–L/XL and 19 color combos).

Promising review: "These have officially become my new favorite shorts. The length is perfect (short but not too short), and the thick waistband is amazing — soft, comfy, and holds everything in without feeling tight or restrictive. The fabric is lightweight and quick-drying, and I’m obsessed with the double-layer design. The outer layer gives you room to move, and the inner layer keeps everything covered… especially during squats, lunges, or anything where you're in motion.

"The zipper pocket on the side is a huge win — it actually fits a plus-size phone and keeps it secure while running or working out. No bouncing, no slipping, no worrying. I already own two colors and fully plan on grabbing more. These are cute, functional, and ridiculously comfortable." —Stephanie Ann

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 39 colors/patterns).

Promising reviews: "This bra top is so supportive while being so sexy, and it just adds to so many cute outfits. Now I can work out or wear it as a top, under a top to show the back off.... Endless possibilities, but the best part is how well they fit and keep the breasts separated  — not looking like old or cheap sports bras. I am a DDD and have a very hard time finding bras and tops, but these I bought four or six of, in different colors and designs, and couldn't be happier with my purchase. My better half loves it too, so it is a win across the board! Buy and buy more. Stock up on these hot tops!!!!!" –Amazon Customer

"Loved the way this looked, and it was so affordable vs. all the pricey sports bras from brands like Alo or upscale fitness clothing sites like Carbon 38. Yes, I’m kind of a gym rat, gym clothes snob. I wanted something that looked like this forever on those sites, but I could never justify the prices. For A BRA. TO SWEAT IN. TO HAVE TO WASH EVERY TIME IT IS WORN (the more famous brands always tout no softener/no tumble dry, so inconvenient), so I just went for it whilst shopping for some other things. So glad I did. It fits well, full support, sturdy, and has been washed a million times already, and is still in the exact condition it was received in. Perfect product. Will buy more." —LittlePoshBeauty

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors/ styles)

Promising reviews: "They are made from a really sturdy material and fit perfectly. They are more tight at the waist... definitely order size based on waist measurement. I like that they aren't extremely long like most other brands because I don't have to cut them. 10/10 would recommend." –Elizabeth

"Super comfortable, stays in place during exercising, and received many compliments and inquiries about where I got them. Great value and plan to purchase more." —amanda

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).

Promising review: "Super lightweight and comfortable. Great for outdoor activities, especially tennis and golf! Definitely recommend it! Could also be used for a casual summer fit!" —Ezgi Simsek

Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 33 colors).

Promising review: "I really like this material, and I feel secure in it. I got it to practice yoga and lift weights. I was able to move comfortably, and I felt the built-in bra was supportive enough for both these activities." —Sydney

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors).

Promising review: "These tanks are so comfortable. They fit just right, and with this fabric, they don't cling to you. I use them all year round. Tank in the summer and an undershirt in the winter." —Shaez

Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in sizes XL Plus, 1X–5X, 16–32, and five colors).

Promising reviews: "I love this workout set! The material is soft, stretchy, and very comfortable. The high-waisted shorts stay in place without rolling down. The sports bra is supportive, and the straps are really cute. The set is squat-proof, not see-through, and holds everything in nicely. It looks way more expensive than it is. I get compliments every time I wear it. Great for gym workouts, walking, or just wearing casually. I’ll definitely be ordering more colors." —Zoey

"I absolutely love this two-piece gym set! The fabric is soft, stretchy, and very comfortable, which makes it perfect for workouts. The leggings fit like a second skin and stay in place even during intense exercises, while the top gives great support without feeling too tight." —Elizabeth MJ

Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in sizes 0/2–8/10 and 28 colors).

Promising review: "I wear a medium, ordered a medium, and like how these fit. They are comfortable (no tugging, pulling, or rubbing) and sit nicely. The material stays comfortable even during a heavier workout or movement. They wash well, too. I'm glad I picked these up." —Tonja Drecker

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 17 colors)

Promising review: "These sports socks are comfortable, breathable, and stay in place during workouts. The cushioning is just right — not too thick, not too thin. They keep my feet dry even after long runs or gym sessions. I also like the snug fit around the arch. Highly recommend for daily exercise or casual wear!" —CJ

Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in women's S–L and 33 color combos).

Promising reviews: "I love this shirt! It’s so comfortable to wear when I work out and is moisture-wicking. Love the back of the shirt. It motivates me to work out!" —Nicole Ripplinger

"This is a great top for working out! I love the color and breathability of the material. I’ve worn it for hiking, walking, and high intensity workouts and it’s great." —CassieB

Get it from Amazon for $11.31+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors).

Promising reviews: "I love this top! It stays in place and has moisture-wicking fabric. It’s comfortable, and I’m not having to constantly readjust it. The pads don’t move around too much inside the top, either. I recommend this!" —K

"Great sports bra/tankini. It is long-lasting (I've had it for three years or so), and I wear it all the time. It is cute aesthetically. It gives nice support and full coverage while running, walking, hard HIIT workouts, etc. The material is perfect for an athletic top. It can also be worn as a crop top tankini top at the beach or the pool. The material is soft, and there was no weird smell when I received it. It has remained bright and brand-new looking for almost three years. Great value." —DAWN

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 20 colors).

Promising reviews: "As a millennial mom, I'm halfway on the TikTok bandwagon without shame. So when I saw these leggings come up again and again, I decided to trust the sea of people who rave about these leggings and purchased them. I usually buy my athletic wear at lower prices, but occasionally have spent this same amount for something I really liked. And TikTok did not let me down! These leggings are very soft and comfortable to wear... What I really like is the material pattern stretches over the curvy parts of me really nicely. These leggings make me feel great, and don't ride down below my waist and belly when I'm doing actual exercise. I started off with black and now want a couple of different colors to add to my athletic wardrobe." —Brianna Storch

"They are totally worth it. Fun, great exercise pants. They handle anything at the gym. I've had them for months. Wear them twice a week. They don’t shrink in the dryer, and provide a small bit of tummy control. They are really fun, and I’ve bought a pair for all my friends and family. They hold up to country living with muck boots and all. They are affordable, and I love my pair. I have the shorts version too. They are amazing and great for the gym, or running, or cycling. I rock climb in them too." —suzanne

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and 15 colors).

Promising reviews: "I used this as a gym top, and it fits great! I will def buy the other colors! Soft fabric and moisture-wicking! Also perfect for summer, paired with denim shorts or jeans. Highly recommended!" —Azel Johnson

"I love this workout tank! The material is breathable. I do wear a sports bra under it because it doesn’t have any padding in the tank, but it’s the perfect cropped tank for pairing with leggings, tennis skirts, bike shorts, etc." —CC

Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in sizes XS–XL and 15 colors).

Promising review: "This set is literally perfect! The pink color is so pretty and vibrant! It definitely gives that cute, girly vibe. The quality of the material is so good, soft, but still snatches you in all the right places. The size was spot on, super comfortable without feeling too tight. I can work out, run errands, or just chill in it and still feel cute. I've already gotten so many compliments every time I wear it!" —Merlina

Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors).

Promising review: "These are fantastic tanks! Just as good as Vuori, if not better, and at a fraction of the price. Wish they would continue to carry these!" —Katie V.

Get it from Quince for $21 (available in sizes S–XL and three colors). 

Promising reviews: "Shirt is lightweight, quick-dry, and is slightly longer, which I love. My friend loved the top and wants to order as well." —Bobs Mom

"Love the silky, smooth, lightweight fabric and beautiful, vivid print! Sweat-wicking so it dries very quickly. Washes great, zero shrinkage, and no wrinkles." —Celeste Smith

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 24 colors).

Get it from Gap Factory for $27.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors).

Promising review: "This is a must-have in every wardrobe. It’s so lightweight, breathable, and has a nice stretch to it. I actually could have sized down. I literally bought every color in this and received so many compliments!!!! The material is great, the fit is like a glove, and it’s definitely worth the bang for your buck." —Indy

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, 18 colors, and one or two packs).

Promising reviews: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets, the jogger style, that they fit like leggings, and that they can be worn to the gym, or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" —Courtney 

"Love these joggers! If I could wear them every day, I would. I want to order a pair in every color. They are so soft and so comfortable. The waistband is thick and is high-waisted. They are very easy to move around in and fit as expected. The waistband is a little tight, but it stretches out as you wear it. I ordered a pair for my mom and told my best friend about them, and they loved them as well. These are good Lululemon alternatives and very affordable." —Alissa Frey

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 26 colors).

Promising review: "These socks are awesome. Compression right where it is needed. Use them for running, hiking, and work (restaurant and on my feet all day). There is actually a left and right sock." —Ross Kaplan

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.74+ (available in sizes S–XL and 17 color combos).

Promising reviews: "These are awesome tanks, and YES, they are poly/spandex, moisture-wicking, ACTUAL workout tank tops. I like my tanks loose and to cover my backside, so I sized up because they did not with my typical size." —XENA

"I have eight of these shirts. I wear them every day when I go to the gym. I love them. Not restricting at all, and gives you front and back coverage for your tummy area and your booty. Wish the front was a little longer, but I am happy with them... Looking to buy more colors. They have so many. The tag says machine wash and hang to dry, but I just wash mine in the washer and put them in the dryer, and they are good to go." —Dee Dee Darnell

Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 21 colors).

Promising review: "This set is so cute! It's true to size, fits comfortably, and the quality is amazing. The quality doesn't change when washed. It's not thin, and you cannot see through the material. The top is supportive, and the straps can be easily adjusted. I will definitely be ordering more colors! I am very pleased and highly recommend it. The price is right!" —K_vee718
