Those cute Nike sports outfits are more than most of us can afford. But to ease the way into a healthy fitness routine and sweat it out in comfort and style, we can always turn to blogshops – for sportswear that comes at nearly half the price of branded apparel. Here’s a list of local online stores that carry fashionable activewear, so you can look the part before embarking on that abs workout.

If you’re into lattice and webbed-back patterns, we’d recommend the Earl Grey High-neck Bra ($50) from I Love Burd. Available in 2 colours – Earl Grey and Patina Green – the bras are designed to accentuate your collar bones, shoulders and back. Because if you’ve got it, flaunt it! Their products are highly stretchable, so don’t worry about comfort or whether they’ll last in the wash.
