The Best Fall Workout Clothes for Women Who Are Actually Cold

Bulky fleece leggings feel great walking to the car and miserable by the second mile. What you want is a dense, high-compression knit that blocks wind without insulating like a blanket — the CoreFlex cargo leggings and the crossover bootcut pair with pockets both hit that weight.

Pockets stop being a bonus in fall, because you're carrying keys, a phone and eventually a shed layer.

A zip layer beats a pullover every time. You can vent it without stopping, and you can tie it around your waist when you finally warm up. A full-zip fleece covers outdoor sessions; a lightweight hoodie is enough for the walk into the gym.

Indoor studios stay hot all winter. A sleeveless workout top or a backless active jumpsuit stays in the drawer for those days, and browsing the fitness collection beats buying a fourth set of the same leggings.
