When I was in the midst of my year long weight loss journey in 2013, I went through workout clothes like nobody’s business! I loved when I found cute workout tops that were comfortable and my taste.
I always gravitated toward the same style top each time – tightly fitting racerback styles.
Because I did primarily strength training workouts, these styles allowed my arms to move freely. They were never in the way, like tops with sleeves or baggy sides often are. This allowed me to lift any weights I wanted without restriction.
Not to mention, this style is almost universally flattering. I found that cute workout clothes kept me motivated (I didn’t want to look bad in them!) LOL

Some of my favorite cute workout tops came from Adidas. Their workout clothes are not only super cute, they are, for the most, super affordable.
Cute Workout Tops for Strength Training
Here are some cute workout tops I highly recommend for anyone serious about starting their own workout program. Pair any of these with a racerback sports bra and you’re ready to go!
Frugal bonus: With the exception of two Stella McCartney pieces (the grey hoodie and the black drawstring top), all but one of these workout tops is under $35!
