Exercise Clothes for Skinny People?
I'm a skinny person?! Or on my way to that? Weirdness.
I'm not currently wearing exercise clothes because I'm not exercising, but yesterday I wore one of my Under Armour shirts and it's a XS (their smallest size) and it was baggy. And this is before I've even had my UBL/BL..
I know I'll want/need well fitting, and preferably compression, exercise clothing once I'm able to exercise again and it seems like I'll have un-sized UA. So where the heck do smaller people even get exercise clothing?!
I realize I'll have this issue with my every day clothing as well, but I'm not as picky about that stuff.

I'm actually hoping for some non-UA suggestions. I'm wearing their smallest size now and they're loose. But thanks!

My sister-in-law is tiny and has trouble finding clothes small enough. She wears a lot of Lululemon workout clothes. Have you tried there?
I really like Gap fit workout wear too, but I'm not sure on sizing at the small end since I'm not there yet. It may be worth taking a look at the size chart online - I found it very accurate for me. I think it fits smaller than UA because my XL UA running tights were a full size bigger than my XL gap running tights.

Are those women's XS's? My 12 year old daughter who is 93 pounds and very lean wears XS in women's sizes and they fit her. She can even wear small in some things. We usually get our exercise clothing from Academy or Wal-Mart. My daughter always finds things to fit her. Junior sizes run a lot smaller than women's so that may be a good option for you.

Yes, those are women's XSs. My upper body is pretty tiny which is weird. Checking out the junior section is a GREAT idea. Thank you!

I like the Old Navy compression leggings a lot - they seem durable with good tightness and are often on sale. For upper I really like Calvin Klein's sports bras. Great compression. Usually get them on sale at Macy's.
I mean bras like this one, not the strappy frou frou kind:
