These Matching Workout Sets Make You Feel Put-Together, Even When You're a Sweaty Mess

Honestly, you don’t need fancy clothes to have a good workout. Pajamas? Sweats? Totally fine. But cute activewear can help exercising feel more fun, and the best matching workout sets can even make you excited to get dressed and out the door. Plus, a coordinated set takes away the guesswork that comes with planning an outfit and creates that chic uniform look (hi, model-off-duty).

Now comes the hard part: Finding stylish pieces that actually go together. We scoured the Internet to find the cutest tops and bottoms from the best brands. These matching workout sets from Amazon, Nike, Outdoor Voices, Lululemon, and Vuori will level up your gym game without skimping on comfort or performance.

Amazon

This Hanerdun set, with its high-rise shorts and adjustable, sweat-absorbing sports bra, is a warm-weather (or hot gym) no-brainer. One Amazon reviewer described the fit as “incredibly flattering.” We like the wide, stretchy waistband—and FYI, the top comes with removable pads.

Tennis players and golfers (or really, anyone who likes a skort) will appreciate Attraco’s scalloped set. The built-in shorts have side pockets to hold tennis balls or a phone and loops for golf tees. Just note that the tank doesn’t have any compression or padding, so you may want to pair it with a sports bra for extra coverage and support.

Outdoor Voices

While this high-neckline crop top isn’t technically a bra, reviewers say it’s compressive enough to wear for activities like jogging and cycling. “I bought it for pilates/yoga but it was actually supportive enough to use for a light run, which was great (for reference I’m around 34E),” wrote one OV customer. Another added, “Holds you snug, but you don’t feel like you have to cut yourself out of it after a run.” (Bless.) Pair it with the sweat-wicking Warmup shorts, which have a hidden waistband pocket for keys or earbuds, and you have a bright, fun uniform for exercise and errands alike.

Nike

If you’re looking for a set with a bit more coverage, try these cute basics from Nike. The Zenvy shorts, leggings, and full-length tank (with a built-in shelf bra) are made from the brand’s lightweight InfinaSoft fabric, which reviewers love for its silky feel. We like that the shorts are long enough to provide chafing protection for runners, and the roomy back waistband pocket can fit a phone and some snacks.

Vuori

One SELF writer says these high-waisted leggings are the most flattering pair she owns. She finds herself coming back to them again and again for hiking, running, and traveling. “There’s something about the thick waistband and drawstring combo that really highlights the waist in a beautiful way,” she says. “It’s functional too, because these leggings actually stay up and don’t roll at the waist, which is a problem I deal with a lot. I’m continuously impressed with how soft and comfortable—yet durable—they are, and the fact that they’re not see-through, even in light colors. Truthfully, I wish all of my leggings were the Vuori Daily Legging!” This strappy, low-impact bra makes a perfect companion for them.

Beyond Yoga

We’re not sure a sunnier workout set exists! The v-neckline on this medium-support bra looks like it would flatter a variety of shapes, and the white racer stripes on the shorts (which have a 5-inch waistband and inseam) are a lovely detail. Reviewers are big fans of the stretchy, soft fabric, which also protects your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Lululemon

One SELF writer loves Lululemon’s Wunder Train gear for summer runs. “The shorts are flattering and stay in place without being too tight, which can be a challenge when you wear something over miles and miles during marathon training—clothes tend to get drenched and stretch out,” she says.

These bottoms are made with Everlux, the brand’s fastest-drying fabric, which makes them an ideal pick for working out in the heat. Both come with waistband stasher pockets and an interior drawcord to prevent slippage (plus, the leggings have side pockets too). “I put my phone, earbuds, keys, and several gels in these and there’s minimal bouncing,” she says. Lululemon’s Like a Cloud Longline Bra is our pick for a sleek matching top, complete with a strappy back and four-way stretch fabric that moves with you all day long.

Girlfriend Collective

Whether you’re going to a HIIT class or a barre workout, the Paloma Racerback offers great built-in support and has more coverage than many other sports bras do. Reviewers love how easy it is to wear, with one calling it her “holy grail sports bra.” “It’s so comfortable, the perfect cut, and it’s the perfect level of compression,” they wrote. These leggings, with their high-waisted design, snug fit, and sweat-wicking fabric, are also beloved by GC customers—they’re the brand’s #1 seller.

Aerie

When it comes to workout gear, you might not immediately think of Aerie—but we’d argue you should, especially for cute sets. This smoothing sports bra has built-in cups that mold to you, and the leggings feature a flattering, V-shaped waistband. They’re one of the brand’s most popular bottoms for a reason: One Aerie reviewer wrote, “extremely comfortable; amazing material. Very stretchy and fits to your body well. I am a curvy girl, so it’s nice to have a pair of leggings that fit and complement my body type.”

Alo Yoga

This subtly sparkly bra offers a snug, compressive fit, with a fun neckline to boot. The leggings have a double-layered, holds-you-in waistband and are made from Alo’s satiny Airlift fabric, the brand’s most supportive material. Throw your favorite sweatshirt on top for easy wearing all year round.

Athleta

If you’re on the shorter side, these leggings will be your new best friend—the ⅞ inseam length means you won’t have to deal with that dreaded, bunched-up material at your ankles. The super high-rise waistband (featuring a spacious back pocket) also provides some nice coverage. We recommend pairing them with the low-impact Solace Bra, which features compliment-worthy twisted straps in the back.
