I need a tracksuit...

I do!

I need something to put on after the gym, either over my gym clothes or after a shower. Something which is Ok with trainers, so I don't have to carry extra shoes.

But I hate the way joggers go baggy at the knees/bum and I'm not really very keen on logo and branding. Does anyone have any ideas?

What about Sweaty Betty? I really like their Karma drawstring yoga pants. Lovely fabric. They have got a variety if styles too and in different lengths.

Thats exactly what id like picnic, but good grief, i was hoping joggers and hoody would come in at considerably less than £100!

Have you looked at M&S sportswear? It's cheap and logo-free! The velour pants would be lovely after a workout. And there's a nice longline jacket too.

I know. But they're worth it. They keep their shape. You could just buy the bottoms and buy a cheapo hoodie to match??

Wait for the Sweaty Betty sale. They really are worth it. Smile

Ok, I really do believe you! How do the sizes come up? I'm tall and 10-12 generally speaking, but with chunky thighs so occasionally need to size up for styles that are clingy/slim fitting in that area

I'm 5'6 and size 10/12 and heavier around bum/thighs. So similar build as you. In the Karma style I've got size medium length. I bought them on recommendation from a friend and was hesitant at first but love them and pretty much live in them now.

As ray said, maybe hold out for the sale if you're in no rush.

Size 10, is what I've got! Smile

Yes, I can wait - hopefully a few more weeks of not really needing one yet!! ATM I'm using one I got in Lidl Blush It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than anything I've seen in much pricier sports shops. It cost around £8 (top and bottoms) but is now 3+years old and isn't going to go on for ever.

Thank you

TKmaxx have really nice sporty stuff....

I bought some long wide legged training trousers...they are a good weight and fall really nicely. I'm sure they have matching zip up hoodies too.

They also have yoga clothing....nice stuff by a brand called Manuka I think it is....
