My fail-safe workout outfit is a black tank top and black leggings. I know it's kind of uninspired, but it's what makes me feel best. When I go to pull pieces from different brands, though, lots of times the shades don't match; one will be a true black and one will be more of a faded, heather black. I really like everything to match, so I've started shopping more matching workout sets. This way, I know I'll be put together, and when I feel cute, I'm much more inspired to hold that plank or add jump squats to my routine. When I'm looking for high-performance activewear that also looks great on, I turn to Lululemon.
