I tend to wear a boring old t-shirt with equally boring workout shorts to the gym and it dawned on me that if I actually wore something that made me look good that I might feel good when I exercise and maybe I would enjoy exercising more? Brilliant I know! I didn’t realize how sad my workout clothes were until I started sorting through them. It was like a scene from Not What To Wear. And it wasn’t a pretty one.
I really felt like I was getting a fitness makeover when I received a sleeveless tank top in gray and black boot cut black pants from new active wear line The Girls Apparel. Designed to be trendy and affordable (all under $40), the entire line is made to complement all body types. I was a little concerned because I’m petite (barely 5 ft. 2) that the bootcut pants would be way too long on me but they fit perfectly. So, just a word to the wise, if you are very tall, you may want to stick with their capris or yoga capris.
The Girls Apparel line features a unique trademarked Blu-Tec Control System – a special fabric constructed with high quality yarns and a blend of nylon and spandex. After studying precisely where women want more support, The Girls developed the Blu-Tec Control System to slim, shape and contour the body in just the right places (hello stomach). Found only in The Girls Tummy Control styles, this special power mesh system is discreetly placed inside the clothing, invisible to the rest of the world. You will honestly look 10 pounds slimmer! Fitness frump be gone!
This is the set I reviewed, although my pants are black and the sleeveless tank I chose is gray. Although the tank is intended for exercise, it’s actually made so well that you could wear it with jeans!
I got the black bootcut workout pants in a size medium with the Blu-Tec Control System and they are really slimming. I don’t feel like I’m tossing on a frumpy pair of old sweats. I actually feel fitter, even though I am still carrying some baby mama weight in my stomach.
If you’re looking for another motivator to get you walking or to the gym then you just may want to treat yourself to a workout set from The Girls Apparel!

I’m 5’3″ and I can relate. It’s so hard to find boot cut workout pants that aren’t a foot too long. I usually opt for cropped pants for that reason.

I love these pants!!! I have 3 pairs of the girls apparel pants and I feel so great in them! They are the only pants I wear for walks, going to the grocery store and going to the gym. Not only do they fit so well, but they really do make you look skinnier… and feel skinnier!? Plus they are really comfortable. I highly recommend the tummy-control boot cut. These pants are truly amazing!
