Top Spring Workout Clothes

This time of year is so darn tricky. If you prefer workouts of the outdoor variety, it's difficult to determine whether to layer up so you stay dry and warm, or go with something light so you don't sweat to death before you get back home. And, if you stick to the gym, you still need appropriate clothes -- it's often still too cool and rainy to wear your sweaty clothes from the gym to the car. I mean, sure, you could just pile on layers of sweats, but wouldn't you like to look as hot as you feel? Here are a few items that will help you transition from winter to spring without missing a single stylish beat.

Jackets
The ideal spring jacket is light enough to offer just a little protection from rain and wind, but can layer over a long-sleeved top for added warmth. For spring days that aren't all that cold, just a little damp, I'm loving the lucy Misty Windbreaker ($88). That's Fit had a chance to try it out, and not only were we impressed with the flattering cut, but we loved the fact that the thin material packed up so small that, folded, the jacket could easily fit in a pocket or corner of a bag. Looking for something a little less expensive? Check Old Navy -- their Women's Active Windbreakers might not have as stylish a fit, but we love the pink color (and the sale price of just $20).

Tops
The Athleta Reversible Caspian Cover-Up ($98) bridges the gap between jacket and top with ease. The tunic-length organic cotton sweater will hide a sweaty top and looks great with yoga pants, jeans, or over a bikini on a breezy day at the beach. For something a little lighter, we love the idea of tossing on this Alo "Lotus" Hoody (on sale for $37.90 at Nordstrom) over a sports bra or running top -- it's fitted enough to look feminine, but not so tight that it will soak up all your sweat.

Pants
If you're looking for pants to wear over your workout clothes, look no further than the Fila Loose Fit Pant ($60). Loose fit is great -- baggy (like your boyfriend's XXL sweatpants) is not. Another terrific option is Gaiam's ActiveSoy Ruched Pant ($68), which can be worn as long pants or adjusted by the ankle ruching to fit as capris.
