We’re In Love With This Matching Workout Set From Lorna Jane
I live for matching workout sets, and up until recently, I'd never tried anything from the brand Lorna Jane.
Previously, I've been an Alo girl through and through, but when I was sent a matching set from Lorna Jane in a stunning espresso color, I wondered if I'd found a new brand to go into my weekly rotation. Continue below to learn all about the brand, my experience with their LJ Long Line Sports Bra and Ankle Biter Leggings, and for my honest review!
The Brand
Lorna Jane is an Australian brand that aims to provide wearers with amazing products to help them live their best active lives. The brand has been around for about three decades and is made by women, for women. If you've ever felt like you needed something more flattering to your body type, that's exactly what prompted Lorna Jane herself to start her business. She wants everyone to feel good in their skin!

The Workout Set
LJ Long Line Sports Bra: $65
Now, as a gal with pretty big tatas, I need a sports bra with pretty good coverage. And while I do from time to time wear lighter ones, those are reserved for days where I'm not running on the treadmill or doing HITT training. So I was intrigued to see where this specific style would fall. The site says it's meant for all-day support, and after wearing it after a day full of errands and a quick gym sesh, I couldn't agree more.
My favorite part of the sports bra, other than the gorgeous hue, has to be the removable padding. A lot of the other padding in sports bras I've tried are pretty much never big enough. But this bra actually fits! The padding covers me entirely, meaning I can keep it in the sports bra for my workouts.

Then, there's the star of the show, the back of the bra. It's full of criss-cross style straps and is seriously so cute. It gives me ample support while also remaining absolutely adorable. When I put it on for the first time, I couldn't stop looking at the back of it! Plus, a girl at my gym complimented my outfit, which made me feel so good about myself.

Hi-Fold Lotus Ankle Biter Leggings: $95
Now onto the leggings! I strictly wear high-waisted leggings when I'm working out because it keeps everything nice and tight. However, a lot of brands claim to have high-waists that simply aren't high enough for me and my long torso (I'm 5'9″ for reference). So, when I put these bad boys on, I was curious to see if it would fall above or below my belly button and to see if I'd have to keep on adjusting it throughout the day.
To my pleasant surprise, it was actually high-waisted! I absolutely despise it when my belly button peaks out above my leggings, but it was completely hidden. Additionally, they stayed in place and I didn't find myself having to hike them up during my workout. And while the material was thinner than what I was expecting, I still absolutely loved the feel and look.

The leggings themselves are super soft and felt like a total dream. Plus, because of the dark color, my sweat marks weren't too visible. I also liked the branding on the back. It's not in-your-face—rather, it's subtle and looks just right. I honestly have no complaints!

Bottom Line
I can't believe I'm saying this—but I think Lorna Jane might be just as good as my Alo sets. The quality is excellent, the feel is incredible and the look is stylish. What more could a girl want? And while it is on the pricier side, I believe you get what you pay for, and these babies will last me for years to come.
