If you read my recent post on my attempt to get into shape (click here if you fancy a read) you'll know that I'm trying to get fitter as well as shift a few pounds following some recent weight gain.
Due to this, I've found myself browsing online at gym clothes a lot over the last few weeks. The majority of the time my gym outfits consist of some old leggings and an over-sized t-shirt so recently I've been dreaming of a number of new potential gym/workout outfits.
Now don't get me wrong, I know the gym isn't a place for looking our best - believe me I always resemble a red sweaty troll - but I can't help but wonder if maybe I had a few more "nice" gym outfits.. I'd be more motivated to go? In the same sense that when I buy a new dress or pair of heels, I can't wait to go on a night out to show them off.
There's a huge market for "more attractive" gym wear & retailers are completely aware of this so even brands that you wouldn't usually associate with sports (think H&M, New Look & Boohoo to name just a few) have "active wear" sections now. I doubt I'll ever make a huge effort with my appearance for the gym, but I can't see anything wrong with having some clothes that are both well designed for exercise and look good?
Here are a few of my current favourite finds:
1. "No More Excuses" sports vest - New Look - £8.99 [x]
2. Three quarter length sports leggings - H&M - £14.99 [x]
3. "See You At The Finish Line" vest - Forever 21 - £10.00 [x]
4. Floral slogan t-shit - Nike - £25.00 [x]
5. Peach Contrast leggings - Missguided - £20.00 [x]
6. Logo Sweater - Adidas - £35.00 [x]
7. Mickey Mouse graphic t-shirt - Adidas - £19.00 [x]
8. Sports Bra - Nike - £20.49 (reduced from £26.00) - [x]
9. Floral Stripe sports leggings - Next - £18.00 [x]
I love these items, and would probably even wear most of them outside of the gym.. Floral panel leggings teamed with a Mickey Mouse top?! Yes please! Plus I love the classic Adidas sweatshirt - even though we're heading into the summer months now, I imagine it would be perfect to throw on during a chillier evening... perhaps even after a trip to the gym.
What are your favourite items to wear to the gym?
