These Matching Sets Will Have You Sweating In Style

If you need motivation to get to the gym, leave it to the magical powers of matching workout sets. There's literally nothing like showing up to a workout class, group run, or training sesh with a fresh new set, but take it from me: There are a lot to choose from.

So, the Women's Health team tried and tested a bunch of different styles to narrow down the 17 cutest workout sets you need in your closet ASAP.

It's hard to compare sets on a computer screen, though. Among the questions you may ask yourself while shopping: Do they provide ample coverage? Are they stretchy enough? Are both the top and bottom included? The list goes on. Whether you prefer a tee and compression short combo or a simple skort and bra duo, the most suitable option for you is included in this list.

As fitness fanatics, our team has tried a lot of brands—think Aerie, Lululemon, Alo, Athleta—and, of course, Amazon is up there when it comes to buying affordable clothes. So, the WH editorial team has taken matters into our own hands to narrow down the best workout sets for women in 2023. Shop the list, below.

Yoga Outfit

This set comes with everything you need to look *extra* cute in the gym: A cropped compression shirt, high-waisted biker shorts, and a padded sports bra. Mix and match as you please to create a super cute look no one will know was under $30 (that's not a typo!). Plus, this three-piece set comes in 34 colors, so you have endless options to choose from.

Rave Review: "This set is so cute and comfortable that wearing it makes me excited to work out! I’m 5’7" and weigh around 140 lbs—I got the small and I thought it fit perfectly. I loved it so much that I got it in blue as well! Definitely worth it and I’ll probably buy it in more colors."

Seamless Workout Set

This is the perfect workout set if you like to go straight from the gym to running errands and beyond. With its versatile colors, you can legit pair this set with anything to dress it up or down. The leggings are also designed with tummy control, so they give you a little bit more hold when you want to feel extra smooth.

Rave Review: "Super comfortable, my favorite set so far. It’s very easy to move in! It's such a cute outfit to wear out with a jacket and sneakers, too."

Scoop Neck Yoga Tank Top

If you want a top suited for high-impact workouts, but you hate that constricted feeling, Lululemon's Scoop Neck Tank is made for you. Designed with a quick-drying fabric and a plant seed-based finish to help wick sweat, I never feel sticky or gross when I wear this, no matter how much I sweat.

And if you've never tried the brand's Align Legging, you're def missing out. They're buttery-soft and feel like a dream on your body. I've turned my mom into a convert, and she now refuses to wear any other leggings.

Editor Review: "I love this set so much, and it's not just because of the bright color," says Lily Wohlner, WH associate e-commerce editor. "As someone who loved high-impact workouts, this really holds me in and wicks sweat away the second thing start to heat up."

Workout Seamless Set

WH news and features editor Currie Engel loves this set because there are so many color options (and, it's suuuper affordable for two pieces). But, don't let the low price fool you. "They're actually really durable and last a really long time," Engel says.

As an added bonus, the shorts are extra high-rise, so she feels totally comfortable wearing them with just the sports bra at the gym. Her one disclaimer: Because of its thick fabric, it's not suitable for outdoor workouts in the heat. However, it's great for indoor use.

Rave Review: "I was so surprised at how soft the fabric is. I put it on and didn't want to take it off! The shorts are a little bit higher-waisted than I expected, but they fit great overall. The cut and style of the top is chic, so you can wear it with jeans or pants for a nice pop of color."

Yes, Pleats! Skort

WH fitness editor Jennifer Nied is a pickleball fan, so she knows a good skort when she sees it. This pleaded skirt and fitted top duo has been on rotation in her closet recently. The built-in, booty-boosting shorts have a pocket that's perfect for holding a ball while you play (and if you're glued to your phone, this pocket will be your bestie). Also, the shirt and the skort are both water-wicking, so you don't have to worry about excess sweat while you rule the courts.

Rave Review: "This is the best skirt! I now have it in two colors. It gives great tummy control. Another bonus is that the shorts underneath stay in place!!"

Luxe High Waist Pocket Leggings

Zella Studio is one of the bestselling brands on Nordstrom, and this set stands out among the bunch. The leggings—they're made from a stretch-nylon fabric—have a supportive mesh layer in the front waistband, plus a pocket to store your phone or keys. The top is made from the same fabric and reviewers also love that it has a square neck, making it super flattering.

The set comes in a few colors, but note that some colors don't come in every size.

Rave Review: "Love these leggings for the phone pocket and colors. They're true to size and not see-through. I also like that they're not too thick and they don't make you feel like you're wearing a wetsuit."

Peak Bra

Nied has this bra in pink, and she's "obsessed with it." I mean, it's cute enough to speak for itself, but there's a lot of other perks that you can't see from the outside. Neids fave? Alo's patented airbrush fabric lifts and supports the breasts and offers light support for both the studio and the street. The bra is also designed to fit and flatter every body type.

Alo's bestselling Airbrush Leggings pair perfectly with this bra, and Neid is also a mega fan. Once you try them, you'll see for yourself (I also have them in two colors!).

Rave Review: "I have wanted this bra for a while and finally did it—I'm so happy I did! I love the fit and shape of the bra as it’s super flattering."

Sculptflex Ribbed V Bra

The perfect mix between a bra and a cropped tank, this ribbed top adds a bit of extra support to your workout, and WH contributing health editor Caitlin Carlson agrees.

Her favorite part of this set? The fabric. "I'm really impressed with the quality of the fabric, especially considering the price points are on the lower side compared to similar brands," she says. "The top in particular doesn't have a built-in bra or pads, but still feels secure for light movement (like walking or yoga) and it's super comfortable." Carlson recommends sizing up on the pants if you want a less compressive fit.

Rave Review: "Big fan of this bra! It's very comfy and flattering. Fabric is stretchy but compressing at the same time, which is great."

Workout Set

This seamless workout set is ultra stretchy, so it legit feels like nothing when you wear it. But, the fabric still feels super high-quality, so you don't have to fret about it being see-through or overly thick. One reviewer loved this set so much, she bought it in every color. If that doesn't speak to its durability and comfort, I don't know what does.

Rave Review: "I am tall, so finding leggings that go down to my ankle is difficult, but these are amazing! They hit my ankles and aren’t see-through. So comfortable to work out or just chill in. I usually wear a small but I did have to size up to a medium."

FreeForm Sports Bra

Like to feel light and airy while you work out? Give this set a try. It includes a super cute racerback bra and an action-ready skort, so you can hit the courts, the gym, or the streets in style. The bra is super lightweight, but still offers light support for the girls. Reviewers love that the separate top and bottom are versatile enough to pair with anything, too.

Rave Review: "Fabric is super soft and the sizing of the bra is perfect! I love that the padding is just right and it matches great with the leggings. The color is fun for spring. Highly recommend!"

Daily Legging

One thing about me: I'm always on the hunt for the best pair of leggings, and this pair wowed me the moment I slipped them on. They hug your body in all the right places, thanks to the drawstring tie, and I love that the stitching towards the bottom almost makes them look like joggers. Plus, the color is everything—it's a vibrant sky blue unlike anything I've seen from other brands.

The bra also has that perfect snug fit and the back is super strappy, so I love to wear it at the gym for some extra oomph to my 'fit.

Rave Review: "I’m obsessed with these pants—this is my fifth pair. I won’t wear anything else now! The feel and fit of these pants is divine."

Yoga Outfit

This is arguably one of the most breathable sets on this list, and that is thanks to the fabric. Made with premium nylon and spandex, the brand claims this set improves moisture reduction by 50 percent.

Featuring a criss-cross design, reviewers love how cute the bra top is, but it also features removable padded cups if you don't need full support. The leggings, on the other hand, hug the body super snugly, so they nicely contour the tummy area and lift the butt. If you want to feel yourself whenever you're at the gym, this set is a must.

Rave Review: "This set is impressive. The material is thick, soft, and good quality. It has nice compression to it, but it's still flattering to the shape. It runs true to size and I will buy more."

Elation Flare Pant

If you're looking for something on the looser side, these super high-waisted Elation Flare Pants from Athleta are exactly what you need. Made for yoga or studio practice, these pants are buttery-soft and legit feel like a warm hug. Both the pants and the matching bra are super easy to stretch and move in, thanks to their mesh inner linings.

Rave Review: "I feel like I always hear people refer to Athleta stuff as being 'buttery soft' and they are not lying. These feel amazing. I needed them in the 3X, and I'd say they run true to size. I'm 5'7" and the length is perfect for me."

Seamless Yoga Set

This yoga set from Jninth is great for low-impact exercise, says Engel. The elastic waistband offers excellent support to the leg muscles, reducing muscle vibration and providing added protection during intense core workouts, according to the brand. Both the shorts and bra feature a seamless design for ultimate comfort. Plus, the adjustable shoulder strap on the bra ensures a secure fit and zero spillage during workouts.

The set comes in lots of sizes and is stretchy enough to flatter both curvy and petite women, per reviews.

Editor Review: "This was one of my first Amazon workout set purchases, and I am now a devotee," says Engel. "I have this pair in two colors and it's perfect for a walk around the city or a workout class. The fabric is actually pretty sculpting and I love that the sports bra isn't cross-back (I have neck strain issues so sometimes it feels better to wear a sports bra that has straps that just rest on my shoulders vs. cross my neck)."

Hold Up! Corset Sports Bra

"This Aerie set is buttery soft and so affordable compared to other activewear," says WH executive health and fitness editor Jacqueline Andriakos. "I love the little curved hem on the corset crop—a pretty detail that makes it different than other sports bras I own."

Andriakos adds that the matching leggings are very high-waisted, which is an essential for her. "Plus, they have a pocket for my phone and also come in a long inseam for tall ladies." She recommend this set for low- to medium-impact workouts (she wears it for Pilates and yoga as well as lifting). "I am buying another color!"

Rave Review: "I love this sports bra. It’s incredibly comfortable, and the material is so soft. I was worried about it being tight in the corset area, so I sized up. I probably didn’t have to, but it still fits really well."
