Gen Z Is Ditching Millennials' Favorite Workout Wear—Here's What They're Buying Instead

These wide-leg pants are perfect for lounging and running errands. I think Bieber would be a fan, especially since they have a mid rise and drawcord elastic waist for a slouchy, but stylish, fit. Not only do they also have front slash pockets to throw your phone and wallet into, they are also made of moisture-wicking and machine-washable recycled materials, so working up a sweat in them won't be an issue. But here's the real reason they have a 4.5-star rating: "These pants feel like a breeze. Great to throw on, wear low at waist or high with the drawstring—[you] have options. Lightweight enough as the weather gets warmer." Dare I say these might be some of the best pants ever?

Say bye-bye to body-skimming workout jackets and hello to oversized zip-up hoodies, like this one from Aritzia. While its ultra-roomy and breathable silhouette is reason enough to buy it for the spring and summer, you should know that the premium midweight fleece is addictively cozy, so don't be surprised if it becomes one of your favorite travel pieces. As one reviewer says, it has the "perfect oversized fit. Love that it crops up in the back only to still give you an actual shape from behind view...I’m a size small, and it’s the perfect amount of oversize." Oh, and by the way, this style comes in a wide range of colors, so take your pick!

This lululemon top is trending, and I don't have to wonder why. It has a cool layered look that brings a T-shirt and long-sleeve top together. It also features the brand's Tennis Club logo on the front, as well as neat and sleek wording on the sleeves, so no one will mistake this top for anything other than a lululemon product. Not to mention, the recycled polyester piece is sweat-wicking, quick-drying and UV-protective with UPF 40 protection, making it ideal for days out in the sun. That said, you'd better hurry up and buy it before it's gone, because as one buyer pointed out, this tenniscore style sold out at lightning speed last year!

For those who don't totally want to give up showing off their booty gains, meet these lululemon flared pants. While they're fitted in all the right places (from your waist to your bum), the legs flare out from the knee down, so cut a trendy (and flattering) figure. They're also made of the brand's buttery-soft and weightless Nulu fabric, a blend of nylon and Lycra elastane that's known for holding its stretch and shape over time. As if they could get any better than that, these pants also have a back drop-in waistband pocket that can fit your card and keys on the go.

A cult favorite for its "cloud-like" and cozy cotton blend, this pretty Alo pullover is practically a status symbol amongst athleisure aficionados. But according to one reviewer, it's still thin and light enough to slip into on warmer days, so if you make the investment now, you're sure to get plenty of wear out of it through the rest of the season (and year). More importantly, buyers are obsessed with the oversized fit, which is perfect for lounging, traveling and post-Pilates brunch. Want to complete the look? Secure the matching sweatpants for the ultimate laid-back chic moment. And did I mention that this powder pink is trending for spring? It's a win-win!

If sweatpants aren't your jam, try these trendy trousers from Alo that supply some serious Sporty Spice vibes. Per the brand, "this is the cool-girl silhouette your closet is missing," and I couldn't agree more, especially since they feature a boxer-style elastic waistband, which allows you to wear them high or low on the hips. However, that's not the only reason why these pants deserve a spot in your wardrobe. Between the front pleats, loose, straight-leg fit and side pockets, this soft and swishy style is also perfectly functional for working out in.

Trust me, you won't regret ditching your fitted workout tops for this flowy cotton tee, which you're likely to get a ton of wear out of, even beyond the gym. But I'll let one buyer tell it: "This tee is a great one to throw on to go to the gym, shopping or could be dressed up a bit with jeans and jewelry." Just so you know, several reviewers have mentioned that they sized down because of the baggy fit, so keep that in mind. Then again, you can try out different sizes and colors, since it's totally worth stocking up in multiples at this price.
