I don’t know about you guys, but in order to get myself up to go to the gym, I’ve got to have the cute and trendy workout outfits. It just motivates me more! Unfortunately, the name brand activewear can be extremely expensive, and if you’re on a college budget like me, you know the struggle of not being able to wear Nike from head-to-toe. Luckily, affordable brands like H&M and Target sell activewear that looks almost identical to the name brands. You won’t believe how much they’re alike! Besides the price, of course. Here’s a list of the name brand items you dream of having, along with the more reasonably priced (and often cuter) looks that you can afford now. Happy shopping!
