What do you like to wear to the gym?
Most of my workout clothes are fairly multi-purpose, and I'm not exactly captain fashion.
Most of the time, I wear black leggings. Reason: at full length they can be worn on the ice when I skate, but if I hit the gym before/after I can roll them up to capri length and that works well too. My favorites are made by Chloe Noel.
If I'm not going to be skating immediately before/after the gym, or I'm headed to boxing or doing Insanity at home, I wear either black shorts or capris.
These get paired with a sports bra (I have a Lululemon one I love, and some fairly generic ones that work well too) or an exercise tank with a built in bra (I'm not terribly "well endowed", so these work well for me). I will often put a tank or tee over this, and if I'm at the rink, add a long sleeved tee and fleece jacket until I get warm, too. Sometimes I wear a unitard or leotard with my leggings to skate or if I do yoga, but that's less common and usually only on days I'm mostly working on lifts with my partner.
I wear short socks and have a pair of Adidas running shoes right now, otherwise I wear skates (custom built). I'm in skates on average more hours per day than shoes, so they are my most important exercise apparel and the thing I invest the most in.
The most important things to me in exercise clothing are the following:
1. They fit close to my body. I hate extra fabric moving around when I exercise. I don't wear things I can feel move on my skin when I exercise. No flared yoga pants, etc.
2. They stay put. Nothing is worse than feeling like you are falling out of your top when hanging upside down, and I loathe pants that move when I do lifts.
3. I'm supported in the right places. Even though I have small boobs, I don't want them moving when I'm jumping around.
4. They fit comfortably. No pinchy places, muffin top, etc., because I need to be comfortable and look good.
5. Everything coordinates. I wear black almost exclusively, because I want to "grab and go".
