20 Athletic wear pieces you can wear outside the gym
Sports luxe gets a new meaning as we round up workout pieces that can be taken to the streets without a hitch, from Stella McCartney, A Wang and more.
We think we speak for everyone when we say that our workout clothes play an important role in how enthusiastic we feel about going to the gym for the day. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of buying new gear (like a cute printed sports bra or compression tights that hold in every inch of skin for slender-looking legs) to get you out of the house and going for a jog.
If you’re one to own a separate drawer of clothes specified for the gym, you ought to think about wearing them on a casual day. If you’re not sold on the idea, here are some benefits: they’re often made of fabrics that don’t crease, like lycra and dri fit, so they don’t need ironing and can be your grab-and-go items. Many sportswear companies now make their athletic wear in various flattering colours and prints, so you can get away with wearing a racer-back running top with a sleek pencil skirt. Switching up your regular leggings with compression yoga pants gives you even slimmer-looking gams, and nobody would notice.
Now that we’ve got brands like Adidas x Stella McCartney, T by Alexander Wang and The Upside making workout wear look undeniably chic and adding the cool factor to every sweat session, there’s no doubt that the line separating casual wear and athletic wear have been blurred. We’ve rounded up 20 pieces you need to own now to take your gym outfit to the streets seamlessly.
