I generally don’t recommend Old Navy with zeal. Their sizing is funky, things are often ill fitting an hour after you put them on, and the quality of garments vary depending on the place they are manufactured. Every once in a while I find a gem, so I never completely count them out, but mostly I prefer to get my clothes from other places.
(Ok let’s be real, mostly I prefer to get my clothes from Target.)
But when it comes to well made, inexpensive active wear OLD NAVY IS WHERE IT’S AT. (Also: This is NOT a sponsored post. I just really really like the Active line, I promise.)
Their workout tanks are always cute and stylish and the compression pants are a part of My Workout Essentials. It’s rare that I hit the gym not wearing some element of Old Navy clothing, and (surprisingly) it is totally durable and the quality holds up over time.
Which is why I had to pop in to point out today that their Active line is pretty darn cheap right now!
$9 Tees
$7 Tanks
I recommend both! And while my favorite compression capris aren’t on sale right now, $23 isn’t too shabby.
And from now until 10/24 everything is 20% with the coupon code ONSAVE20.
If there ever was an excuse to go on a shopping spree, this might be it. I don’t know about you but new workout clothes always get me pumped to workout. (Lame, but true!)

I competely agree with everything you said about Old Navy, but LOVE their workout gear. It is all I wear, fits awesome, stands up over time and is actually cute! Thanks for the info on the sale, I am grabbing another pair of pants today!

Some of my favorite lounging-around-the-apartment clothes are Old Navy!

Don’t lie, we all know you’re in the pocket of Old Navy!

Are their pants see through when deadlifting or squating though? I hate that!

I just love my UA tanks (because they’re long!) and Calvin Klein workout pants (because they make my butt look great
). Creature of habit, I guess.

I totally agree! I really don’t care for their clothing, but I struck workout gear gold last year when all their stuff was on sale!

I love their compression capris and shorts. They’re my favourite to run in and they last forever! I’ve never bought workout t’s or tanks at Old Navy but I’ll check them out as some of my old cotton t-shirts are getting pretty funky!
