If it took a global pandemic to make you realize the importance of a healthy body, join the club. One look at your Instagram feeds will prove to you that in quarantine, almost everyone adopted a fitness regime. But now that gyms are open and the outdoors are comparatively safer, your living room need not be your workout venue anymore. Get that gym membership or give in to a sports activity and get moving!
To give you a little extra push, what’s better than a workout wardrobe that you can flex just as much as your arms?
Cue in Co-ords
No, co-ords aren’t just limited to the ladies and go far beyond the quintessential workwear wardrobe. So when we say that they could be THE workout uniform for men who want to use up all their energy exercising and not on deciding workout outfits, these are for them. If an outdoor run is on the routine, all you need to do is pick your co-ord, pair the look with neutral trainers and sprint away!
Go Incognito in a Hoodie
There’s days when you want to finish your workout routine without really having to engage in casual conversation with people and we get that. This is where hoodies come in as our saving grace! Pull the hood over your head, plug your earphones in and go incognito while looking every bit stylish.
Legs for Days
On days when you have to train your legs, you need to wear one of the workout outfits that don’t constrict your movement and allow your muscles some freedom. Shorts are perfect no-brainers for leg workouts. Don’t shy away from wearing them just because you haven’t shaved your legs – trust us, nobody will notice anything other than the way your calf muscles contract & relax!
The Power of a Tank
Never underestimate the power of a tank top. An ultra-comfortable, ultra-light tank offers plenty of arm room for you to get through any exercise, from pull ups to power cleans to kettlebell swings. What’s the point of working really hard on your body if you don’t show it off every now and then?
Sneakers that Serve All Purposes
It’s really hard to miss the simple (yet trendy) white or black trainers when you get your hands on something that makes your workout wardrobe all the more fun. We’ve seen all the bloggers and influencers sport neon kicks lately, and we’d be lying if we said we weren’t smitten. There are several ways to style them for your morning run or spin class, but your best bet is definitely an all black outfit.
Simple Tees for the Summer
Everybody can pull off the best gym outfits for guys in neutral palettes but a selective few dare to go all-out and take a risk. What we mean is, you don’t spot a lot of men wearing highlighter hued colored t-shirts at the gym, so why don’t you set the tone by sporting one. From bold reds to lively yellows, burning orange to calming blues; the color options are endless, so give them a shot!
Bottomwear for the Long Haul
A pair of quality heavyweight tracks or tights that’s built for your strength workouts is a wardrobe essential. Whether you’re resting dumbbells on your thighs to bench or simply battling to get through your regular squats and deadlifts, having your pair of trustee tracks and tights is just what you need to get through your workouts on the daily.
Finding athleticwear and gear that’s functional but still looks great used to be quite the challenge. While baggy T-shirts and old sweatpants were once the norm for working out, it’s now all about combining the best of performance and style while hitting your PRs.
Because when you look good, you feel good, and you perform even better.
