While working out in a pair of beat-up sweats and an old muscle tank is probably the most logical ensemble choice for a sweat-soaked Soul Cycle class or even just a stair master sesh, there’s something to be said about the correlation between putting on a flattering fitness-ready outfit and conjuring the motivation required to actually make it out the door (because, frankly, that’s the hardest part, right?)
Actually, I’ve even been known to make it out the door and to the gym’s parking lot armored in a pair of sweat-wicking performance leggings and my trusty training shoes, only to sit in my car for an hour mindlessly scrolling through Instagram out of pure laziness, only to miss my scheduled workout sesh altogether. Oops, I did again. While many of us have made the transition from working out at the gym or studio to our living rooms or backyards, finding the motivation to get going even if zero travel is required) can still be a challenge.
Of course, what you wear to work out really shouldn’t matter in theory. After all, you’re exercising to release those much-needed endorphins, blow off some post-workday steam, and most of all, to sweat. But if you’re at all like me, when I wear something I look kind of cute in, I also feel more confident —and, sometimes, even more, energized — to get the darn thing done. And, if you’re the brunch-to-barre type of person, or simply someone who isn’t blessed with an unlimited amount of time to go straight from the gym to your own shower after each session (hey, sometimes you need to pick up groceries post-workout), opting for a more fashion-friendly fitness look makes complete sense.
Activewear attire has come a long way over the past decade— even since Lululemon’s game-changing Wunder Unders hit the scene years and years ago, elevating the activewear market forever by offering avid gym-goers who also like to feel cute in the process, a wide range of figure-flattering options. Nowadays, activewear designs follow the same trends (prints, cuts, and design details) as regular apparel, and I am seriously here for this sartorial shift. Scroll through below to check out my favorite places to find seriously chic activewear staples online.
