And I have now discovered that basic cotton lounge clothes just aren't very conducive to regular exercise. They stay terribly wet, then they can mildew in the laundry basket (gross, I know). With regular exposure to sweat and more steady washings, they also break down and get worn out really quickly.
I've tried active wear from various brands now - some cheap, some really pricey. And my favorite? My favorite is actually Old Navy - mostly because of the balance between product quality and price. The items always go on sale (in-store sometimes, online basically all the time), so they're crazy cheap at times. At the same time, the compression and dry-fit materials are good quality, comfortable, and they stay dry or dry quickly. They last quite a while - longer than my more expensive items from other stores, actually. I would wager something much more expensive (like lululemon) may last a little longer, but when considered with the price factor, ON is more worth it.
Some of my favorite items...
1. The GoDRY Tank (right now some are on sale online for $9!)
2. The Active Running Top - well vented and light
3. Compression Capris - give a great range of motion, comfortable, and easy to work in!
I also really like their yoga clothes, shorts, and sports bras - all worth checking out if you need some active wear added to your wardrobe!
