The best workout clothes and gear on the market combine technical specs with a nod to fashionable aesthetics. From household names to niche athleticwear operations, there’s plenty of options when it comes to workout gear that fits the bill.
Whether you’re still getting in the groove with your new fitness journey or you’re already a gym pro, the right athletic pieces can help you feel much more motivated and enthusiastic about your time in the gym.
Leggings
Whether you are running, squatting, or jumping, Gymshark leggings move with your body when working out. The pants don’t fall and aren’t see-through. They are also designed with a sweat-wick material as an added bonus.
Sports Bra
The Peloton bra is soft and made of quality materials. While an uncomfortable bra can quickly kill a good workout, this bra will keep you moving for hours.
Sport Shorts
The Tory Sport shorts are high waisted and the perfect length. If you bike or run, these will become your go-to shorts for your travels.
Long Sleeve Shirt
Perfect for yoga, the Alo Yoga Long Sleeve is not only super soft, but it is snug enough not to go anywhere—even when in a headstand. It is a ribbed knit which gives it some stretch and makes it transitional from workout to wear out.
Men’s
T-Shirt
The Under Armour training T-shirt keeps you cool while you get your workout in. The lightweight technical fabric is ultra-soft, wicks sweat, and dries fast for ultimate comfort. Anti-chafing seams and anti-odor technology are bonus features of this T.
Underwear
Any old underwear simply won’t do when you’re working up a sweat and staying focused on your intense workout. BN3TH’s MyPakage Pouch Technology provides the support you need, while innovative modal fabric wicks away moisture and prevents odor.
Running Pants
Nike Phenom Elite Running Pants are sleek, functional pants for your outdoor runs or morning hikes. They will block the wind and rain while keeping you looking modern and stylish.
Shorts
The Lululemon T.H.E. Short 9″ Linerless Short has the perfect proportions for both length and width. They are made of swift ultra-fabric that’s lightweight with stretch and sweat-wicking attributes.
Women & Men
Hoodies & Jackets
It can be hard to pick the perfect outfit for running outside, since you often start out much cooler than you end up. As you work your muscles and work up a sweat, you need to find ways to lower your body heat so you can maintain stamina. That’s why zip-up hoodies are an ideal addition to your running outfit; they can block out harsh winds and chills but also can be unzipped for more breathable wear when you get warm.

Cut from comfortable double-knit fabric for a close fit, the top is designed to keep you cozy as you put in the miles. Regulate your temperature on the run.
Men – Repeat Running Jacket – Alo Yoga
This bold jacket adds just enough style to this terrific windbreaker without overwhelming your minimalist fitness gear. It keeps you warm too.
