The 30 Best Workout Clothes on Amazon: Tops, Sets, and More

The people have spoken.

When I took up running, I did not have the proper wardrobe for those miles I'd be tackling. I had no idea how a proper pair of running sneakers could support my ankles, and I definitely did not have a quick-drying tee to run in (which is how I caught a cold after my first fall run). I've learned from that experience, thankfully, and now the first place I turn to for all my workout gear is Amazon.

The e-commerce giant has a ton of cute and functional gear for all kinds of workouts, from high-waisted leggings (my favorite) and leggings to supportive sports bras. Best of all, Amazon workout clothes are affordable—think, under-$50 affordable. (Look, I love athleisure as much as the next person, but I'm less afraid to go all out in my workouts in budget-friendly options.) Ahead, I rounded up some great workout pieces I found on Amazon based on thousands of reviews, so you know they're truly vouched for by the community.

I can personally attest to how great this crop top is. I have the black version to pair with all of my colored leggings, but I'm seriously considering buying every color. This top is so lightweight and breathable, it actually feels like I have nothing on. And although it says it's cropped, this actually hits just below the belly button, which is perfect if you like to be a bit more covered up at the gym like me!

Pros: Made from breathable, lightweight fabric; Sweat-wicking; Available in sizes X-Small to XX-Large.

Cons: Limited color options.

Customer review: "I got this as a workout shirt. I’m not really a crop top person but the fit is great and is super cute on. I received lots of compliments when wearing it!"

Sure, your college muscle tank days are over, but if you find yourself missing that loose fit, invest in these tank tops. An Amazon bestseller, these tanks are lightweight and made with sweat-wicking fabric. Pro tip: These tops also work great thanks to their extra-wide armhole.

Pros: Comes in multipacks; Made from lightweight, sweat-wicking fabric.

Cons: Some wish the top was longer in the front.

Customer review: "I loveeee these work out tops. I hate tops that are clingy and these flow just right. The material is light but very very strong."

Fleece Pullover Shirt

When you're done with your workouts and want to cover up your sports bra or crop top, throw on this men's pullover. The inside is nice and soft, yet it's lightweight enough to where you won't be covered in sweat immediately after throwing it on. This black one comes in a pack of three, so you'll have one for nearly every day of the week.

Pros: Comes in multipacks; Available in sizes Small through 5X-Large; Lightweight; Holds up well in the wash.

Cons: Not every color comes in multipacks.

Customer review: "The perfect stay-at-home mom uniform, and looks cute with jeans and jewelry or sweatpants. Can't beat $12. Can't find any flaws. As soon as there are more colors available through Prime, I’ll be ordering more."

This trio of workout tank tops comes in 13 different sets, so you won't have trouble finding colors that work for you. With over 11k reviews and counting, reviewers say they love the tanks because of the quality and fit, which many say run a little closer to the body.

Pros: Comes in multipacks; Available in sizes X-Small through XX-Large; Sweat-wicking; Made from lightweight, breathable fabric.

Cons: Runs big.

Customer review: "I love these tanks, so comfortable. I wore these during a 3 week vacation to Maui. Comfy, they do run a little big, but great under clothes & and with a sports bra under it."

If you like a little ventilation as you work out, this top with a mesh back provides a cool flow of air as you run, lunge, jump, or lift. You can even knot the fabric in the back for a little detail. Based off the 9,000-plus 5-star reviews, fans think this shirt is comfortable, soft, and cute.

Pros: Made from sweat-resistant, breathable fabric; Slit and mesh on back offers extra ventilation; Can be worn multiple ways.

Cons: Can be uncomfortable exercising when back is tied

Customer review: "It fit perfectly and I loved the sweat-resistant material. I really liked the mesh piece in the back, but didn't love the long flaps if they weren't tied. They are very cute when tied, but makes for uncomfortable ab workouts or anything on your back."

This long-sleeve tee has "cool DRI technology" so the fabric dries fast, and it also has odor protection just in case you're worried about smelling bad after a workout. Based off the 8,000-plus reviews, fans of the shirt love it for its quality and comfort. On your non-workout days, you can wear this as a base layer with your regular clothes.

Pros: Dries fast; Fabric includes odor protection; Protects against UPF rays with UPF rating of 40+;

Cons: Some note the sleeves run long.

Customer review: "Nice comfortable fabric. It is a sleek stretchy material. Dog hair doesn't stick easy. It doesn't wrinkle easy. It kept me warm on a long run in 48° and was breathable."

With this crop top, you don't have to wear a sports bra because it's already padded for function and comfort (the pads are removable). Spaghetti straps make this just as much of a cute option for a casual day outside as a pilates class. Just slip on your favorite yoga leggings and you're ready to work out...or watch Netflix.

Pros: Includes removable pads; Available in 20 colors; Made from lightweight, buttery soft material.

Cons: Runs small; Hand-wash only.

Customer review: "Very comfy and soft! Fits the twins perfectly. There is a band that runs under the top layer to help keep the girls in their seats. Recommend. Will order more in different colors."

There are enough crop tops in this set for a full week of workouts, with the racerback style being ideal for nearly any activity. These tanks are also perfect for layering with a running jacket or a quarterzip when cold out. At a little less than $6 a top, this set is a steal.

Pros: Comes in five sets with a mix of neutral and bright colors; Lightweight; Breathable; Stretchy.

Cons: Hand wash only;

Customer review: "Absolutely love these! the colors are great, they're comfortable on my skin, they wash/dry well, no loose stitches and they're great on their own or as a base layer. I'll be buying more colors soon!!"

All you need to know about these Amazon leggings are in the name—they legitimately make you feel like you're naked, which is so good if you're tired of tight, uncomfortable leggings. These are made from a buttery soft material that is so lightweight, you'll forget you have pants on. Some even say these are a dupe for a much higher athleisure brand. Chose from over 40 colors and prints to take you from the gym to happy hour drinks with your girls.

Pros: Comes in over 40 colors; Available in sizes 2X-Small to 2X-large; Made from buttery soft fabric.

I am an avid lulu wearer and I reach for these every single time I go to the gym or just need a pair to throw on."

If you frequent the gym a lot, there's a good chance you've seen these leggings before. I've personally seen them plenty during my workouts and on fitness influencers on TikTok, so you know they've been tried and tested. They passed the squat test, meaning they aren't see-through when you bend over and the added scrunch makes your behind look extra perky. Once you try these leggings on, you may be convinced to stick with seamless styles.

Pros: Seamless; Features a scrunch on behind for added shape; Squat-proof; Comes in over 35 colors; Offered in multi-packs; Tummy-control waistband

Cons: Over $30; Hand-wash only; Only goes up to X-large.

Customer Review: "These are the first leggings I’ve tried that aren't uncomfortable and crazy tight but still stay up and look great on. They hide any cellulite and are squat proof."

If you're tired of traditional leggings, switch it up with a pair of flare leggings like these. This pair from TOPYOGAS features the ultra-trendy cross waist you've probably seen all over your FYP page that has magical waist-snatching powers. I'd wear these to a pilates class or to update my boring WFH outfit.

If you're under 5''5, these capri leggings are made with you in mind. They have a high-waisted design and come in 39 different colors and patterns, so take your pick.
