Fabletics is a workout/fitness clothing company that sells outfits at a discounted price. I started running last year, and I now appreciate the importance of proper clothing. I am a frugal person and started buying work out clothing as cheap as possible. Now, I try to find a balance between cost and function. I have wasted money on clothing that doesn't hold up. I have been looking at Fabletics for awhile, and I have been interested in trying them out. Fabletics was co-founded by Kate Hudson. Fabletics delivers high-performance athletic wear at an affordable price. Fabletics apparel focuses on fit, function and style, offering complete, coordinated Outfits for your workout and beyond.

What is the Fabletics VIP Membership Program?
As you make your first purchase, you'll have the option to enroll in our free VIP Membership program. As a VIP, you'll receive:
• Complete Outfits starting at $49.95-up to 40% off retail • 20% off all individual items • Reward Points for every purchase, friend referral or product review • Free shipping on orders over $49.95 • Easy returns and exchanges. If the clothes fit, great! If not, simply exchange or return your order • Personalized picks curated by fitness stylists just for you
How does the VIP program work?
If you're familiar with JustFab or FabKids, the setup is pretty similar:
- Receive Personalized Outfits on the 1st On the first day of each month, the stylists will send you new handpicked Outfits for your shopping pleasure.
- Review Your Outfits by the 10th Log in to your account and browse your Outfits by the 10th then buy your favorite style(s).
- Skip Any Month, No Obligation to Buy If you're not ready to make a purchase, simply skip the month by the 10th and you will not be charged. Skip as many months as you'd like. If you do not take action by the 10th, you will be charged $49.95 on the 11th. This accumulating balance can be used to shop whenever you like. If your purchase is more than $49.95, simply pay the difference with your credit or debit card. If your purchase is less than $49.95, the balance will be applied to your account as store credit.
Can I purchase without becoming a VIP? Absolutely! Non-VIP members will not enjoy the benefits of VIP Membership, including Reward Points and discounts on Outfits and individual items, however. But they will still get great prices on our high-quality activewear when compared to competing brands. During the checkout process, simply uncheck the “VIP Membership” box to purchase as a regular member.

Fabletics Packaging
Fabletics ships by USPS and outfits come in a mail shipping bag.
Two Piece Outfit
Each piece of the outfit comes in it's own bag. This is a subscription service, but everything is mailed like any other clothing company. I ordered the Tendu outfit. The regular price is $84.90 and the VIP price is $59.95.
Merida V-Neck
The top is the Merida V-Neck shirt. This shirt ran true to size. The sleeves fit snug but the body wasn't a tight fit. There is also thumb holes! I love thumb holes in my running shirts. This shirt is really comfortable and fits great. It even has a slight pattern on it.
Calama Pant
The Caloma pant is a relaxed fit, mid rise pant. It has a 32″ inseam. I am 5'4 ish and the legs were slightly long, but the there is draw stings at the ankle, which allows me tighten them for a better fit. There is zippered pockets and a draw sting waist. I like that I can adjust these to any height. This are light weight and will work great as capris this spring/summer. They fit pretty true to size but may fit slightly small. Everything fit fine, but the thigh area was a but small.
Fabletics Review February 2014: Tendu
Final Thought: I was really impressed with Fabletics. I got my first outfit half off, so I paid $29.97. Normally this outfit sells $59.95 and has a retail value of $84.90. I have bought most of my outfits at Target and easily spend $50.00-$60.00 on work out clothes, unless there is a great sale. I like that Fabletics has unique pieces, so I don't have 4 of the same kind of shirt. I am signed up to run several races, and I like to look cute running (aside from being a sweaty mess). If you are interested in trying Fabletics, you can get 50% off your first outfit. Just click HERE to sign up. You can cancel anytime and you can select to skip any month. Just be sure to skip by the 10th of the month.
