Decent but not expensive gym wear

I know this has been done to death but where can I get high waisted sports leggings in a long length (I’m tall) and gym tops with sleeves, that also cover my bum!

Its a bloody minefield. Tried M and S leggings but didn’t like them. Refuse to pay £80 for Sweaty Betty, I just want a pair that are long enough and don’t show vpl.

ASOS Tall range have sportswear, I've seen it when browsing but no idea of quality. Long Tall Sally used to but it's hit and miss. I'm very tall too and found Mand S good move and Victoria Secret leggings ok, they are the only 2 brands I've ever found that don't fall down, I just pretend they are meant to be 3/4 length!

Halaria. On insta feeds all the time. Best leggings I've ever had, two for £40 or something like that

I like gymshark the best. Their leggings are comfortable and squat proof. Can get deals when there are sales on.
Not sure about long sleeves and long tops. You’ll be boiling won’t you? I wear long tanks with no sleeves to workout in

H&M are really good for the price.

Amazon has loads but hit and miss with the quality.

Fabletics stuff is really good and they do tall lengths, but the subscription model annoys me 🤣

Adanola is all over my Insta but I think are quite expensive actually?

Gymshark also really good, lots of variety.

I like Gymshark too, I mainly buy bundles on vinted, loads of new or nearly new gear on there.

Amazon Lululemon dupes.

Matalan do pretty good gym wear. The leggings are lovely, high waisted, don't roll down and they are a lovely thick material. However I wear the cropped ones as the normal ones are too long for me.

Decathlon

Best VFM there is - good fabrics (various thicknesses) usually long enough (check cycling tops as well as running and multi sport ones)

What does it matter if people can see that you’re wearing knickers??? It’s hardly the crime of the century. I gave up trying to cover up my bum as all it did was draw attention to the very area I tried to cover up.

Well I prefer to cover mine!

Thanks for the suggestions. I don’t want a long sleeve top. A longer length top with short sleeves is what I meant.

in that case most gym wear places will cater for you. Oversized t shirts are the in thing now so you won’t struggle to find a top to cover your bum
