    Sportswear.....

    Not sure a thread about trackies goes under "Fashion" but anyhoooo

    I am teaching PE now, and am wondering where the best place is to buy reasonable priced trackies and sporty stuff - I am not looking at professional stuff, more just nice comfortable and warm stuff to wear that looks decent as the Bonds trackie and skinny leg trackies that I wear at home are not "school appropriate!".

    I also really don't want to be paying $60-$80 for tracksuit pants at places like Rebel!!

    SO any ideas please! Going to check out the majors but there might be some places I haven't thought of!

    I've heard Target have good sports wear..

    I got my gym stuff from Rockwear (Not Rockstar ) but they're the same price range as Lorna Jane..

    Maybe I am deluding myself that I can get nice cheap stuff?! I just can't fathom spending over $40 on tracksuit pants - hoodies are ok, I usually get them from Cotton On but their trackies ball up in about a minute.... Mmmmm.

    Have you looked at Target Tan? They usually have nice sportswear and they always have sales on women's clothing

    I buy from Rockwear too. They're made on the Gold Coast not in a sweatshop in China.

    I think all the cheap trackies will lose their shape and pill up really quickly. Have you tried ebay? You might be able to pick something cheap up there. I've got about half my sports gear from ebay.

    Yeah I'd try target too. It might be worth spending a little more though hun to get trackies that will last. Might cost you less in the long run to have a few good pairs that don't pill up rather than having to constantly replace cheapie ones.
    Just a thought! Oh and yay for getting to wear trackies to work lol!

    Thanks everyone!! I really cannot afford expensive ones for now, so got 2 at Kfart of all places, if they pill quickly, well I only paid $15 each so will save up for better ones!Got a few tees at Target but didn't like their trackies. Seriously hard to find decent stuff! I don't pay $70 for jeans let alone trackies!!

    Nai - I will have to check them out, sounds like my kind of site!
    Sangie - I know right - out of my 3 days working, I can wear them for 2! Downside will be working outside in winter!!
