How To Look Chic At The Gym: The Best Gym Wear

Going to the gym may make you groan, especially in the winter months when you would much rather curl up on the sofa with warm comforting food. But getting all kitted out with some chic gym wear is where motivation is born, trust.

Whether you like to hit the treadmill full-throttle, or prefer a relaxing yoga class once a week, wearing the right clothes can benefit your health and encourage your desire to work out.

We've scouted the most flattering gym wear that will actually make you excited to go the gym (really). You won't even be embarrassed to be spotted out-and-about running errands in your gym attire.

To get the best out of your workout you need to be dressed appropriately, but different activities require a slightly different dress code. We have you covered on how to dress for your workout and how to stay looking stylish.

What to wear to a yoga class

Whether your yoga class is fitness-based or more spiritual, the key is to be comfy and wear layers. During a warm up and warm down you will usually wear a jumper or long sleeve top, and sometimes socks. You should also wear a supportive sports bra to hold you in place even when you're in the most unorthodox positions.

On your bottom half you can opt for whatever suits you best but enables you to stretch - tight leggings, capris, trackies or floaty yoga pants.

These Victoria's Secret yoga pants combine comfort and glamour, and are available in different colours and patterns.

What to wear when you're doing cardio

When you're doing a cardio workout on the treadmill, cross trainer or even a through a high intensity class, the most crucial items of clothing you should be wearing are a highly supportive sports bra and specialised running trainers. The sports bra will keep your breasts in place to avoid them hurting when you run (and to ensure they don't sag over times), and proper trainers will support your feet, ankles, legs and back. It's definitely worth splashing that extra bit of cash to stay supported and do right by your body.

These Nike Flynit Air Mac iD running trainers will support your body while you run, and you can even customise them.

What bag to take to the gym

Holdalls are bags you can chuck everything you need for a trip to the gym into, and they don't have to be ugly either.
