Finding cute workout clothes can be a challenge, especially when you don’t want to shell out for those designer Stella McCreditcardmaxout lines. New from the Gap Group: Athleta, a line of workout clothing for women that’s affordable and attractive. We’re not going to say the styles are to-die-for, but it’s worth checking out. You can shop by sport, which doesn’t just include your basic yogawear and running gear, but also covers ski/snowboarding, golf, and hiking. In the mix you’ll find bra-tanks in punchy colors, skirt-capris, patterned performance swimsuits that are the anti-Speedo, and nylon tennis dresses. There are some crazy prints that vary from loud graphic flowers to hippie mendi designs that you may want to be cautious about wearing. At least you can say they’re not boring! [Athleta]

In other words, items I will buy to make myself appear like I’ve gone to the gym, when I’m really just coming back from the burrito joint.

Is this new? My mom has been getting catalogs for a long time from them.

@CheeeeEEEEse They’ve always had their Gap Body line, but this is very sport specific.

Gap puchased Athleta by being the highest bidder. This is not a new Gap created line.

I love workout clothes, but I refuse to pay more than $30 for something that I’m just going to sweat in and get chalk all over. Possibly blood too.

@DancerNinja - took the words right out of my mouth. I will only spend ‘real’ money on something really nice, like merino baselayers mmmm. Chalk and blood eh? Are you a climber or a gymnast?
