As temperatures begin to fall, it can be more tempting to skip those outdoor workouts. The second it starts to get a little cold outside I begin to make excuses to skip my morning run. My biggest excuse: I have no workout clothes for cold temperatures. I’ve already put my summer shorts away and my $5 leggings definitely don’t keep me warm, so last fall I took on the daunting task of trying to find the best fall athletic wear.
TNA’s Sports tank is one of my favorite workout tops. The V-neck top includes a built-in sports bra with adjustable cups, making you feel supported even during the hardest of workouts. Obviously this tank top isn’t built for cold weather but it’s an athletic wear staple of mine, just add a few layers and you’re good to go.
Gymshark’s leggings are a solid option if you’re in need of low insulation leggings. While I don’t love them for outdoor workouts in the cold, they’re a good option for those awkward 75 degree days where it’s too hot for warm leggings and too cold for shorts.
Best workout outerwear
Lululemon’s Evergreen Anorak fits comfortably over larger layers and provides high quality wind protection. The water repellent windbreaker includes a kangaroo pocket with a hidden phone sleeve, stowable hood and cinchable waist. My favorite aspect of the jacket is its length. Oftentimes windbreakers either engulf my whole body or cut off right around my waist; the Evergreen anorak cuts off where the bum meets the thigh, giving the ideal amount of coverage.
If a vest is more your style, look no further than Fabletics’ Elliot puffer vest. It’s lightweight and packable, making it great for athletes on the go. The vest includes two front pockets and a collar to help insulate your neck.
