Modest Workout Clothes

Finding modest workout clothes is tough. The trend for gym wear is skin tight and as little fabric as possible. For a long time, I thought the only alternative was to size up or just wear baggy sweat pants.

That worked for the privacy of home, but what if you have a gym membership? What if you want to run an errand before or after? Or what if you are just a casual, comfy gal that embraces the athleisure trend?

Modest workout clothes do exist!

I have the solutions to your modest workout clothes dilemmas! Above all, activewear should be attractive, comfortable, and modest. There are options out there that can keep you looking cute whether you are jogging in your neighborhood, lifting at the gym, or picking up the dry cleaning.

Modest Athleisure

Let’s not forget the stay at home mom! You need the freedom to move, you need to be very washable because messes and spills happen. You also need to feel good about yourself.

Many moms resort to an athleisure wardrobe for the early years of babies and toddlers. You need to feel comfortable but put together. What options are there for you?

If cute and covered is your goal no matter what your to-do list is for the day let’s get going on what your options are.

SKIRTED LEGGINGS ARE THE ANSWER!

Skirted leggings really are the answer. The fabric is buttery soft. Everything is attached at the waist so there are no separate waistbands from skirts and leggings bunching around your middle.

There are so many choices that they really can be flattering on every body type! Plus you can wear them year-round! 

It solved my winter dilemma of staying warm and comfortable. I have had a lot of fun styling these with long cardigans and boots in the winter. Switch to a shorter length legging and add flats or sandals and graphic t’s in the summer!

Here are the best places to find all your modest workout/athleisure needs!

1) Snoga

First and foremost my favorite maker of modest activewear is Snoga. I first stumbled upon this company in the second year of my modest wardrobe journey. They are very durable and have the greatest variety of lengths, styles, sizes, and colors!

Snoga also comes in children’s sizes. My daughter had a raspberry pink, cropped legging Snoga that she literally WORE TO SHREDS. Many of their skirts are chlorine safe as well!

 

2) Kosher Casual

I just love this company’s name. It says it all! This company has its own version of the skirted legging for activewear or just being casual and comfortable. Many of their pieces work great for swimming as well!

3) Lands End

The Lands’ End catalog has been a favorite of mine for many years. Their clothes are always durable and classic! If you are not committed to wearing skirts but want something modest and cute, they have a line of cotton pants called Starfish. They come in many colors, lengths, and fits.

The catalog is always inspiring. Their stylist takes a plain pair of pants and pairs it in ways I never imagined making their clothes super versatile.

This company also has a selection of cotton tops that are long and flattering that look great with any length of pant.

They also have their own version of a skirted legging in their swimwear category.

4)Sweet Lemon Thyme

This brand is new to me. I discovered her on Instagram this month and although I haven’t ordered yet, I love the look of her skirted leggings! She also has a customizable element that is great for people who have trouble finding something that fits “just right”. She has some really beautiful, trendy colors!

 

5) Amazon

My last source for modest activewear is Amazon. I always check Amazon first before looking anywhere else! Most of the brands mentioned above can be found on Amazon although there is less variety.

There are some super-economical choices on Amazon that I recommend. This first one I personally own for summer activewear. I have used this skirted legging swimming, camping, and rock climbing! Or just to do my yard work and be comfy at home! Also….it has POCKETS!

You might still be feeling a little skeptical about  skirted leggings….it’s definitely a new concept.

I have always strived to keep my modest wardrobe current, flattering, and practical. Before buying these pieces I worried that I would need a whole new set of tops and shoes to go with these bottoms. I wasn’t sure how the items in my closet would pair with the skirted legging.

Whenever I’m going to try something new in the world of fashion and I have some uncertainty I do two things.

  1. Search for it on Pinterest. Look for pictures similar to what you are thinking of wearing. It will either confirm your fears (EEK that looks crazy!) or give you confidence that you are headed in the right direction!
  2. Use your imagination. This sounds weird but hear me out. If I have put together an outfit and I have a little voice of doubt in my head I always close my eyes and visualize my outfit on someone else. Basically, I ask myself, “If I saw a woman walk by me in Target wearing this combination would I admire it?” Often the answer is yes and I move forward!

Here are some images from Pinterest to get your imagination going!

I encourage you to try out skirted leggings. Buy one from Amazon. If you have Prime, returning and exchanging is so easy. Just get something basic like black and experiment with what you have in your closet.

Try to copy an outfit from Pinterest and you will find your confidence growing!

If your main goal is to use them for exercise more than for leisurewear, get a pack of dri-fit shirts like these and you will be out the door in minutes and ready to sweat….er…sparkle!

Modest activewear does exist and skirted leggings are the MVP in my closet!
