Fitness fashion: How to look good in the gym

 The one obvious reason to go to the gym is to look good outside the gym. But no one should stop you from looking good inside one. There are a lot of fashion brands which offer gym looks and workout apparels.

Here’s a guide to chose your best gym outfits from their collection:

Wear clothes that complement you

This one is a no-brainer. Whether you’re inside the gym or outside, you should always opt for clothes that match your body figure and height.

 Invest in footwear

If you are on a budget spend more on your shoes than on the clothes. Choosing the right footwear is crucial to workout. Cheap footwear will make your feet tired while a good supportive jogger will keep you relaxed after a session at gym.

·       Keep your look neutral

Mute tone in gym wear looks good both outside and inside the gym. Dark colors are good at hiding sweat patches. Mix and match black, navy and grey sweat pants and tees for a professional as well as stylish look.

·       Be comfortable

As much as “looking” chic matters, it is important to wear clothes that do not restrict body motion. Wearing too tight outfits mean a restricted flow of movement. Similarly, wearing too loose outfits mean a sagging look.

·       Avoid wearing jeans

Jeans are made of a coarse material. Wearing jeans to the gym will end up in giving you a rash. Also, proper gym wear is made of breathable fabric which absorbs some of the sweat from the workout, while denim is unable to absorb any.

·       Accessorize

 You can complete your look with training gloves, ankle support braces, and sports towels etc. getting a cool gym bag and a bottle will help you look stylish and like a fitness pro.

·       Keep your hair off your face

Nothing beats the loose hair stands sticking to your face during and after gym. If you have long hair, keep them off your face with braids and high pony tails. For shorter hair, bands and clips may be used.

 

It is not difficult or overly expensive to look attractive or even hot in the gym- pun intended. While we all need some good gym looks for our Instagram its important to not lose focus from the actual target of hitting the gym!
