Cleanliness & Comfort are all I really care about in any clothing I wear when working out.  |

My tops are pretty neutral so they'll almost always match up with whatever bottom I am wearing.

Absolutely not. I wear what is clean, comfortable and at the top of the pile. Currently just finished working out and am wearing a lime green tank, purple sports bra and black leggings with a weird teal insert....
I'm pretty much a hot mess, but I've always been that way, so why change now....

absolutely not. i look like i just walked out of Hobo camp. i am not out to impress anyone. i just want comfort. it's bad enough i have to work out (and not as often as i should). This is me. I just don’t care, I want to get my workout in. In general I buy solids so I don’t clash, not sure I’d care if I did I buy solids too. Patterns will start making me think of matching or clashing and I can't be bothered with that. For work, parties, important occasions, etc. , I will be more concerned about matching. But work outs (and even gardening), I don't care. |

I wear leggings- sometimes patterned, sometimes solid, but usually black, and a t-shirt. I have lost a crap ton of weight over the past year, but still not comfortable wearing just a sports bra on top.

I pretty much always wear black leggings or bike shorts so anything on top will match.

 Here’s today’s outfit and nope, it really doesn’t match. Pink & purple top with an orange running skirt. You won’t miss seeing me on the road though! Most of my leggings are solid but I do have two patterned pair. I try to pick a color out of the pattern… usually. Otherwise, I subscribe to the notion that all exercise tops go with all exercise bottoms. Right? You can peep an ear if my male GSD in the photo. He’s so clingy. Always underfoot. Lol. |

My working out is either a long walk or playing tennis. If I’m walking, I wear what’s clean and comfortable. If I’m playing tennis, I’m coordinated enough not to look goofy. But I wouldn’t call it “matching”.

Congrats on going down a size!
I'm another one who is not matchy matchy, but I always try and coordinate, even if I am just working out at home. I buy all my leggings, yoga pants and workout shorts in black or navy. I usually wear a neutral colored sports bra and a solid t shirt. It's boring, but functional, and I wouldn't be embarrassed by what I was wearing if I fell while I was walking in the neighborhood and had to go to the emergency room.

I pretty much grew up in a dance studio, so no, matching is not required. If anything, matching points to being an abject novice who doesn’t know any better. But then dancers wear rags & tatters, so what do I know? All this to say the activity is more important than the outfit.

I work out in my basement. Sometimes I wear clothes.

I had to laugh - just got an email with title “new matching set” Have to say that sports bra is pretty cute - I wish I was at the point I could wear just a sports bra! #goals  |

I work out at a gym so yes, I like to match or not clash. I love matching sets with leggings and a bra top but I still wear a solid tank over it.

My workout shoes are like $160. I can't imagine having enough of them to match all my clothes.
I think I'm gonna just skip the patterned ones so that I don't have to worry. Charcoal or black for me...maybe a blue pair later

I don't care if they clash with what I wear. Then I have two pairs of shoes for regular boot camp type workout. Congrats on the weightloss freecharlie! |

I typically buy patterned bottoms with a matching sports bra and all my tops are solid colors

I wear either black or white running shorts and then a bright colored tank top. If I am wearing leggings or capri, they are a solid color. I hate patterns on my body.

I do not usually match. My working out is bungee at the gym my kids do gymnastics at so it's kinda like a second home to me. I don't care if my clothes match when I'm working out. Usually it's the tee shirt I have on that day and a pair of crop leggings in black, gray, olive, or navy. I wear all different color shirts. I do find that I do NOT like printed leggings. I've got a few pair and I never ever wear them.
