Oh, hello, new workout clothes. It’s time to trade in those tired sweatpants and oversized T-shirts for new exercise attire. Think: Workout sets that you won’t be embarrassed to be caught in when you inevitably run into your childhood nemesis while grabbing a Gatorade and a family-size bag of Flamin’ Hot CHEETOS at Walgreens. Is that entirely too specific? Yes. Has it happened to me? Mayyyyybe. Let’s just say that if it had hypothetically happened, I would hypothetically wish I had been heading back from the gym wearing something much cuter… or at least that I didn’t look like a bird had confused my hair for a nest.

I’ve come a long way from that hypothetical day, thankfully. To help you avoid similar tragedies, we’ve gathered our favorite workout pieces in all shades of the rainbow — items that won’t have you hiding behind an endcap of perishable goods while holding onto what’s left of your dignity. We’re talking about bright blue floral sports bras that can both hold the girls while you exercise and also double as a cute crop top on those perfect spring days. We’re also dreaming of getting fresh air in gorgeous green tennis skirts that you can wear on and off the court.

Here are colorful workout clothes you’ll actually be excited to break a sweat in:
