37 Things Perfect For My Workout

There’s nothing I enjoy doing more to clear my head than exercising. But I have to exercise right. You know — rolling up to the gym lookin’ cute and fashionable! I realize how petty (and slightly vain) that sounds, but something about feeling like I look good just makes me put more effort into my workout.

But coming up with cute gym outfits isn’t always easy — that’s why I’ve come up with this list of cute athletic gear that I like to wear whenever I’m exercising. Everything in here is not only adorable, but it’s also functional, too. You don’t want your leggings to turn see-through while you’re in downward dog, right?

And the best part about cute gym attire? You don’t have an excuse to skip a workout — keep scrolling to see my favorite picks!

Pair this cropped tee with any pair of high-waisted leggings, and you’ll instantly look cute for the gym or regular days out. I like the tie in the front since it catches the breeze while I’m working out, and it’s made with a hint of spandex so that it’s not restricting.

I get really sweaty when I exercise, which is why I like this open-back top. It dries quickly so that I’m not stuck wearing a soggy mess, and it’s available in tons of colors.

A Crop Top For The Gym And Anywhere Else

These Casual Joggers That Are Lightweight

  via : Amazon  

Need a pair of joggers that aren’t too heavy? I like to wear these ones on chill fall mornings when I’m walking the dog, or even to the gym when I want to sweat. Make sure to order one size up though — at 5’7″, the small is just a little short on me.

These Tanks That Show Off Your Sports Bra

  via : Amazon  

What’s the point in wearing a cute sports bra if no one can see it? These tanks feature extra-wide warm holes — similar to muscle tanks — so that you can create cute layered looks with your sports bra. And if you don’t care about the layering aspect, they’re still lightweight and breathable for heavy gym sessions. View on Amazon

This Nike Shirt For Exercise And Errands

Prefer a longer pair of workout shorts? These ones don’t ride up while I’m sweating, and they also feature pockets for your phone, keys, or cash.

These Cropped Tees That Come In A Pack Of Four

  via : Amazon  

I like this four-pack of workout crops because they come in a bunch of different colors to match any leggings. They’re just long enough that they pair perfectly with high-waisted jeans on casual days out, and the hint of spandex lets them move with me — not against me.

A Pair Of Joggers That Come In 15 Colors

These Leggings That Stretch With You

Since they’re more tapered than baggy sweats, I like to wear these joggers everywhere — from the gym, all the way to the grocery store, and then back onto the stair master we have in the spare bedroom. Choose from dozens of colors, including granite, purple, teal, and more.

These Adidas Trackpants

  via : Amazon  

Track pants are so comfortable, but they can be really stylish, too. Case in point: these Adidas ones with a tapered leg so they don’t look shapeless and baggy. They come in some bright colors and some tamer ones — I like the classic black to go with all my gym clothes.

These Beyond Yoga Leggings

I would confidently say I’m a seasoned consumer of gym clothes since they make up about 90% of my wardrobe. These Beyond Yoga leggings are the cream of the crop – they’re supersoft brushed jersey fabric and highwaisted so they’re comfortable but keep everything contained!   View on Amazon

These Yoga Socks

  via : Amazon  

Whenever I do yoga or barre classes, my feet slide all over the place even on my mat. These yoga socks are an awesome solution – thanks to the grippy bottoms you won’t be sliding anywhere, which is a more comfortable and safer way to work out. View on Amazon

These Adidas Sneakers

  via : Amazon  

After I read the over 22,500 rave reviews of these Adidas Cloudfoam running shoes I had to give them a try.

This Pony Tail Cap

Wearing a baseball cap to cover up messy hair at the gym is essential, but if you have a long mane it can get really hot when your hair is down. Enter: this pony tail hat that has a criss-cross elasticized back to let you wear a high bun or pony or just a regular one. Seriously should be a staple in every long-haired person’s closet. View on Amazon

These Asics Shoes That Are Almost Too Comfy

The fit of these yoga pants is so flattering! And I love that you can choose from several different lengths for every size. (Saves me from having to hem them!) View on Amazon

You Need A Good Pair Of Compression Socks

  via : Amazon  

It doesn’t matter whether I’m at the gym or on a plane — I’m still wearing these compression socks. They help promote circulation to prevent soreness in your muscles, and the padded heel makes them more comfortable than the competition. View on Amazon

These Socks That Wick Away Moisture

  via : Amazon  

Running around in soggy wet socks is no fun, which is why I like to wear these moisture-wicking socks when I’m exercising (and when my other compression socks are dirty.) The built-in ventilation channels help keep your feet dry, and the heel and toe are even reinforced for added comfort. View on Amazon

These Running Shoes You Can Wear Everywhere

  via : Amazon  

You can’t go jogging in just any pair of shoes — but these ones from Nike are made with a shock-absorbing sole that helps my knees stay intact while I’m running. View on Amazon

This Long Sleeve Crop With Thumbholes

  via : Amazon  

Sometimes your outfit looks cute with a cropped fit, but it’s too cold for short sleeves. Enter: this cropped long sleeve. I like that the sleeves have thumbholes to prevent them from riding up while I exercise, and it’s available in more than 10 shades. View on Amazon

A Full-Zip Hoodie For Chilly Workouts

For as low as $7, you can grab this fleece sweatshirt from Hanes. It’s made from a mid-weight blend of cotton and polyester, and it sits just below my natural waistline so I don’t have to worry about it riding up when I’m working out.

Some Days You Just Want A Sweatshirt

On days when I can’t be bothered to come up with a gym outfit, I just throw on this sweatshirt. The v-notch detail at the neck is a cute touch, and the raglan sleeves are sleek — no bulk that the rest of my sweats have. Okay, still amped for more picks?
