There’s no harm in following the gym dress code. Nobody likes seeing anyone workout in sunglasses or jeans anyway.

If even your oversized T-Shirt and discoloured sweatpants are permissible at the gym, you might think the place is off-limits to fashion faux pas. Think again.

The gym is a place rife with those who try a little too hard when all they’re there for is to break a sweat. Well we won’t object to filling in the eyebrows every now and then, but we’re drawing the line by not applying full makeup, putting on false eyelashes and smearing lipstick to compete with our dripping sweat. We’re showing our bare face and by bare we mean without sunglasses.

While it might be ingrained in regular gym goers to avoid faux pas as such, we reckon it’s still wise to see what we’ve got compiled in our gallery of five. Besides the obvious aesthetic reasons, some of these made it to the list for health concerns as well, so make sure to double check and see if you are working out in (the appropriate) style!
