PS – Andrea, you must check out the Sport Training Skort at Impact Fitness Wear. It looks similar to the one you are wearing in the photo, and they DO make them in fun colors other than nasty pink :)

See them here: http://www.impactfitnesswear.com/pants-bottoms/shorts-skorts/sport-training-skort

I own 4 of them and they fit amazing. The fabric is light weight and moves with you. The waistband is very comfortable (no muffin top).

Good Luck!

I am a total convert! I used to love shorts and capris, but really the skorts these days really are CUTE AND COMFORTABLE (and there is nothing wrong with being cute!)

I have many, many workout skorts now, and I have to say my favorites have come from Impact Fitness Wear. Why? They are totally unique! I haven’t seen barely anyone else out there in them. So, I will leave you all my little secret….. http://www.impactfitnesswear.com

Go girls — let’s all be cute, functional, and comfortable! There is nothing wrong with wearing skirts :)

I’m still not a convert to the running skirt. Some women just appear to be trying TOO hard. Since I often run 6 day a week I own a whole bunch of the exact same shorts ….. all in boring black….. all because they A) fit and B) don’t chafe and C) cost about $20 a pair and D) Last for many years.

Really, if I thought I could get away with actually not feeling self conscious in a skirt I *might* consider it. But, there is nothing that chaps me more than buying expensive running clothes to find they don’t work or chafe ( read running bra’s …. TOTAL PET PEEVE!!!)

I didn’t understand running skirts either until I tried them and found them quite comfy! On the other hand, I’m NOT a pink person AT ALL. So I agree. The thing that bugs me the most sometimes are even women’s tennis shoes are pink now!

I have not tried a running skirt but wonder if I would like one.

I have noticed that women’s exercise clothes tend to be a few of the same colors. Last year all I saw was teal. And I do have a lot of pink (But I like pink). I do have some darker colors though, from Champion.

I just don’t care how I look when exercising. I try to look decent when racing, for the pics, but that’s it.

Sadly, I think that I have more options as a plus sized woman that you do. Most of the stuff on Junionia.com (for plus-sized gals) is blue, green, black. Of course, you know I want orange.

God I couldn’t agree more. Either I’m hot pink and annoying even myself or I have to be in all black like I’m going to a freaking funeral. It’s really annoying.

I wish I could find a decent workout top or sports bra that was a nice dark purple or a decent blue color.

Hey guys, thanks for your feedback so far!

Sarah, I too am cheap, every workout stuff I buy I get on sale. :) Workout clothes are ‘spensive!
Sarah w., I’m crazy pale too so black is not my best color but I’ll take that over pink if I have a choice. I really enjoy clothes that fit well which is why I can get behind gear aimed specifically towards women. It fits my bod and feels amazing! I just wish there were more choice colors. A lot of my gear comes from Target too! Lululemon makes great stuff but it’s totally out of my price range.
Pen, I agree, wearing skirts doesn’t make one any less of an athlete. Skirts at least cover a bit more than spandex which sometimes can be a bit revealing (albeit damn comfy though!). Summer gear is your season because it’s loaded with bright fun stuff!
Rose, I’ve worn those boy shorts too, the long ones for working out. I wore them most at my Muay Thai classes before I broke down and got actual MT shorts. Those things didn’t wick away sweat at all! But yes, some nice dark colors would be welcome!
Heather, Really? A lot of yoga gear tends to have some darker color choices but not all of that is appropriate to wear for running or other types of activities.
