Tracee Ellis Ross has been impressing us with her workouts for years. When the Black-ish star shares her sweat sessions on social media, fans are quick to praise her hard work and thank her for the workout motivation — and realness. One on time-lapse glute workout video, Ross admitted she sped up the video “cuz I took a lot of breaks!” “Looking for my summer abs,” she captioned another. Taking breaks and finding humor in the sweaty, “make it stop!” parts of exercise — yep, she’s just like us.
When we’re not taking notes on her workout habits (Ross is a big fan of the Tracy Anderson Method, FYI), we’re admiring her simple yet chic workout ‘fits. One item Ross has definitely turned us on to is the workout jumpsuit. While the Girlfriends actor will often rock a leggings-and-sports-bra set, it’s her one-piece tank-top jumpsuits that always catch our eye. Sleek and sweat-proof, Ross’ jumpsuits typically feature a chic cutout in the back or criss-cross straps to elevate the look (and provide some extra venting for sweat and body heat). She’s singlehandedly convinced us that we need at least one of these workout jumpsuits in our gym rotation.
If you feel the same, you’ve come to the right place. While we could only find one occasion where Ross spilled the deets on one of her jumpsuits (shoutout to the Varsity Unitard from Wear One’s At), we were able to dig up plenty of high-quality dupes that’ll do the trick just as well. Whether you’re hopping on the Tracy Anderson train, grabbing some weights for a strength sesh, or just heading out on an afternoon walk, check out our favorite Tracee-inspired workout jumpsuits below.
Wear One’s At Varsity Unitard
Fans on Instagram begged Ross to share where she got this cute tee-style jumpsuit with a square cutout in the back — and the actor came through. The Varsity Unitard from Wear One’s At is quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and so versatile, we can understand why it’s Ross’ go-to. She’s worn it for strength workouts, elliptical sessions, and even some intense sled-pushing exercises. (PS: the black jumpsuit is nearly sold out, so snag the navy version if your size isn’t in stock!)
FP Movement Good Karma Cut Out Onesie
Ross has rocked FP Movement Good Karma jumpsuits in the past and looked good doing it. While the version in this video is no longer available, we found this sexy option from the same brand. The comfortable fabric and ribbed details ensure that you’ll turn heads in this jumpsuit, which is compressive to make you feel supported and strong.
Carbon38 V-Neck Jumpsuit
Ross loves a simple scoop-neck black jumpsuit, and that’s exactly what you’re getting with this sleek option from Carbon38. With a plunging neckline and ultra-soft fabric, you won’t want to take this jumpsuit off — and you won’t have to, because it’s the perfect piece for the gym and out and about. We love the super-low back, too — another feature we’ve noticed Ross wears frequently at the gym.
Year of Ours Sasha Onesie
When you really feel like making a statement, reach for this red jumpsuit. Ross has worked out in similar items in the past, sometimes layering it under a short white crop top for extra coverage. We also love the halter-spaghetti strap combination, both styles that Ross often wears to the gym.
Athleta Salutation Stash 7/8 Bodysuit
You can’t go wrong with a black tank-top jumpsuit, and Ross knows it. This simple jumpsuit from Athleta mimics the sleek styles Ross often wears to work out and features soft, supportive fabric that’s perfect for your next yoga flow.
Year of Ours Recycled Cut Out Onesie
We love that Ross opts for jumpsuits with cutouts, which can range from eye-catching to subtle. This black jumpsuit from Year of Ours is somewhere in between — the cute front cutout will definitely turn a few heads, but it’s small enough that you still feel covered-up and supported.
Athleta Salutation Mesh 7/8 Bodysuit
If you like the cutout look but prefer slightly more coverage, mesh is a great compromise. This option from Athleta comes with pockets (always a plus) with mesh cutouts around your sternum and lower back to keep you feeling cool and looking cute.
