I’m with Cadi. Who wants to sweat in thick, heavy velour? If you’re at the gym truly working up a sweat, I can’t imagine how wearing this would be anything other than uncomfortable. Go with something sythetic and black that will absorb sweat without showing visible sweat marks.

I have the top half that I wear to go to the gym – not to work out in, but to keep my gym card and key in on the walk there and back. This is the ONLY time I’d wear it though!

One of my friends has the Juicy set in a wine color.
She used to wear the blue ones all the time last year, they’re comfortable for Arizona winters, and I’d cringe every single time she wore them.
Wearing one all over fabric and/or color is just…bad.
Go with some nice loose basic sweatpants with breathe and tank.

Weren’t these velour track suits really common four years ago? (I admit I own one in navy blue, but have not worn the two pieces together being out of the house.)
I’d recommend you to get yoga pants and a nice T-Shirt to work out in. And a good sports-bra for underneath – then you can wear any nice (breathable) cotton T-Shirt, and still feel as if you had one of these workout-tank tops. The yoga pants I’ve seen almost always have a nice boot cut leg, and look nicer than the velour stuff, which can look tacky.

NOT for working out, dear. Unless of course you enjoy hauling yourself around in a sodden synthetic tracksuit that does NOT breathe at all! There are far more practical and aesthetically pleasant styles of fitness attire out there!
The only way I can forgive the velour tracksuit look is if it’s pajamas. Because they stay indoors!
