On-The-Go in Fabletics [Clothing Line Review]

Hi friends!

First thing’s first: The winner of my ProYo giveaway is Christa Lopez. Thanks to all who entered! Christa, I’ve emailed you for your contact info. 🙂

Now onto today’s topic: workout clothes! Since I work from home and exercise almost every day, I seriously live in my workout clothing. Naturally I love having cute workout gear that I can feel good about and comfortable in, and I usually buy a few new things every couple of months to keep my wardrobe fresh and fun. One brand that I’ve been buying lately is Fabletics, Kate Hudson’s line. Since I’ve now purchased a bunch of Fabletics outfits, I thought it’d be fun to share my experience with the line thus far.

How it Works: For anyone who isn’t familiar with them, Fabletics offers customers what it calls a VIP membership — which allows you to get special discounts on outfits each month. At the beginning of each month, you can either pick out an outfit or skip the month. I skip more than I actually buy, and it’s super easy to do so. Fabletics sends you an email to let you know that you need to skip or else you’ll be charged, which is usually my reminder to scope out outfits or pass on the month.

With VIP membership, Fabletics picks out outfits for you based on the preferences that you’ve set, which I think is a fun way to quickly see styles that you’ll probably dig.

You also have the option to just shop as a regular customer with no commitment and monthly action necessary. However, you don’t get the best Fabletics deals this way, which leads me to….

Pricing: Something I love about Fabletics is its affordability. There are so many workout brands out there that I absolutely adore, but most of them – lululemon, Athleta, and Lorna Jane included – are not at all cheap. While I have unfortunately gotten used to paying $100 for a good pair of workout capris, Fabletics offers entire outfits for half that price. It’s great!

When you sign up as a VIP member, your first outfit is just $25 (How can you beat that?!). For the months following that, entire outfits start at $49.95, and go up to $89.95. This includes either 2 or 3 pieces.

Sizing: In general, my sizing varies. Sometimes I wear a size small bottoms, sometimes I need a medium, and sometimes I feel best in a large depending on the fit (For instance, Lorna Jane pants seem to run small so I go bigger with their clothing). With tops, I usually wear a medium unless the brand runs on the bigger side. What’s interesting with Fabletics is that that hasn’t really been the case. This has been my overall experience with their pieces:

• The tops – What I’ve found with Fabletics tops is that they run big. I tend to like a somewhat relaxed fit, but their medium tops have pretty much all been a bit too baggy. I’ve kept them all because I still wear and like them, but I might start ordering a size small. As you see in the pictures, the orange and gray tops are kind of big on me. The gray top is especially loose fitting, and kind of falls down a lot when I’m working out (hence why it’s become more of a hangout/just going for a walk kind of shirt).

The above gray shirt was a little too loose fitting when I first got it, but I managed to shrink it and now I like its relaxed fit.

Ya know, just hanging out in a wind cave with my Fabletics on. 🙂

• The bottoms – To put it simply, I love Fabletics capris. I’ve bought a size medium every time and each pair has fit me perfectly. I love how they have lots of color and patterns choices. I’m all about fun pant colors lately!

I especially love wearing the above pink/purple/gray capris for yoga, barre and pilates workouts.  

• The sports bras – I’ve only received 2 Fabletics sports bras, and really only because they happened to be included in entire outfits that I purchased (like in the orange/black outfit above). Ladies, all I can say is that if you have any kind of chest – where ya know, things bounce around a lot unless they’re held in place – Fabletics sports bras probably won’t work for you. They offer very little support and I’ve hardly worn either of mine because of that. I hope in the future Fabletics will start to make different styles of sports bras that are fitting for women with larger ta-tas!

Overall, I really like Fabletics and have fun picking out new workout attire through their stylish, affordable line. I’m definitely going to purchase a few new things from them this summer, and I think the next must-have thing on my list for July is a new pair or two of activewear shorts! Tell me.. Have you tried Fabletics out? What’s your favorite workout clothing line?

Note: I was not compensated for this post, nor have I received complementary Fabletics clothing. I simply wanted to share my thoughts on the line with you all!
