my 5 favorite exercise dresses

Shop

i don’t think i’ll ever get over the exercise dress trend…they are so effortless, comfortable + easy to style! every athletic brand pretty much has a workout dress now + i think i’ve tried almost all of them sooo today i’m sharing an exercise dress round up of my top 5 faves (that work with or without a baby bump).

two things i like all my exercise dresses to have are a built in bra (or at least a shelf bra, with/without padding) and a built in short liner. if the shelf bra feels too thin you can always add inserts into the dress for extra padding!

note: when i’m not pregnant i usually wear an xs in all of these (xs tall in abercrombie traveler dress) but when i’m pregnant i wear a small!

amazon tennis dress

my uniform lately has been this amazon exercise dress which might be my best amazon purchase yet!! i love the padding / built in bra (it actually has really good support) + the material is really soft and stretchy! AND it’s only $40!! almost every other exercise dress i’ve found and love is close to $100!

abercrombie traveler mini dress

this dress is so versatile, you can clip the back to make it racerback or wear it regular! plus i love that it comes in tall sizes + lots of fun colors for $70! (there’s a wide strap version now too but i’ve yet to try it)

YBP sculptLUX mini dress

the cut on this dress is soo flattering! i love the smoothing fabric on this one + it has a comfortable amount of compression. if you don’t believe me, read these 4.8 star reviews!!

vuori one shot tennis dress

the most high end / luxe fabric IMO!!  this dress is both moisture wicking + fully lined. definitely a good one for tennis or any other outdoor activity!

(check out the new zinnia color they just released!!)

outdoor voices exercise dress

i’ve had this dress for 5 years!! it’s my go-to dress for going to the park w/ shiloh, playdates, kids birthday parties, etc! i love the adjustable straps, built in short liner w/ a pocket plus the material is super lightweight / breathable making it perfect for summer.

i’ll be living in these exercise dresses through the rest of summer/pregnancy and can’t wait to throw a flannel or oversized jean jacket over them once it’s starts to cool off! if you have a go-to exercise dress i’d love to know, drop a link in the comments!
