Definitely Aldi. All my running clothes come from Aldi. Good for cycling gear too. Black running trousers, hi vis long sleeved tops and jackets. No writing.
Just watch the sizing - their women's clothes are cut small. I buy men's.
Decathlon is really good for cheap, good running gear. Not sure about fashionable though!! is there even a fashionable, when it comes to running gear? I think if you are worried about looking fashionable you are not running hard enough.As anyone who is sweating profusely and has a beetroot face will know, how fashionable your clothes are is the last thing on your mind!!
Nike is great I got my 1st tights from them and they are so supportive and comfy when im running!! Also got a nike jacket the other day which looks fab!
I get a lot of my stuff in TKMaxx. You have to trawl a bit and go in regularly but I have been very lucky with some quality pieces at reasonable prices. I got some Lidl running trousers last year which are brilliant for the cold weather as they have a layer in the thighs which keeps the wind out. Like Aldi though, they do come up very small. i.e. I am a size 12 and the 14/16 is still tight on me. Another place I've discovered is GAP.
Didnt even think of tkmaxx! Its worth a look ill give it a go
Try thinking outside the box, or whatever the expression is. Try the likes of Rab. I use a Rab top for running year round. Long sleeve T in summer with sleeves pulled up if it's hot, and down if it's cold; a short sleeve T over the top if it's colder! Good material (which is more important than fashion), and not Gore prices either!
The reason why Sports Direct is so cheap is because all their staff are treated so badly with 90% being on zero hours contracts with no holiday or sick pay. If you cannot afford to go anywhere else, at least complain about the way they treat their staff secure.38degrees.org.uk/pag... .
...and if you buy something from them and it doesn't fit you they NEVER give you your money back; only a gift card and then never have the stock you want in store to redeem it. Make sure you always try it on first.
I usually get my branded stuff from Sports Direct, although I popped in *ahem* Primark at the weekend and was really suprised to find they have some workout/running gear in there. I got some long leggings/tights (which are only available in a light grey) for just £9. They have a small pocket on the bum (like most running stuff), a small amount of reflective strips and a coral waistband with draw-string. I wore them last night and they are great! Wish I'd bought the cropped version too now.
They also stocked some sleeveless running tops that were equally cheap and also seemed good quality. They had a matching coral to the leggings waistband if you like to match
PS. I know some people don't like this store due to ethical reasons.
Matalan have some nice running gear, under their 'Leisurewear' section, running tights (called Active Leggings) are £14 and feel really nice on. My other gear is from Aldi or sportsshoes.com and good old ebay!
M+S have surprisingly good womens running stuff at ok prices. I have asked for some under armour hat/gloves/earbansd stuff for Christmas from my hubby! wiggle.co.uk/ladies/under-a...
