How to Dress For Gym Ladies

If you’re a woman who heads to the gym, you know that your wardrobe makes or breaks your workout experience. The best gym clothes are comfortable, stretchy and provide a full range of motion – but the specifics depend on your comfort level, preferences and body type. Luckily, there are plenty of great options, from classic baggy sweatpants to figure-flattering leggings. Whether you’re looking for a workout bra or a pair of yoga socks, we have everything you need to look and feel your best in the gym.

When it comes to selecting workout gear, many women — and men, for that matter — are worried about what other people will think of their looks in the fitness space. However, this concern could be detracting from your exercise routine and keeping you from reaching your goals. Instead of spending time worrying about how you might look to a stranger in the mirror, try to focus on your form and the benefits of your workout.

To start with, choose breathable, fitted gym clothing. This means ditching jeans and other tight, restrictive fabrics in favor of a breathable T-shirt or sports top and gym shorts or leggings. It’s also important for women to invest in a supportive sports bra, which can make or break your gym outfit.

For bottoms, leggings are a girl’s best friend. They’re comfortable, incredibly versatile and come in all different colors and styles. If you’re on the petite side, consider getting leggings that are cinched at the waist to flatter your shape and avoid riding up during workouts. If you’re more into a high-impact workout, consider picking up a pair of shorts with a compression lining for increased comfort and performance.

Both types of leggings should fit snugly, but they should also be able to move with your body. If you’re going to be working out at a hot gym, it might help to wear some light-weight long-sleeved shirts or sweaters for extra warmth and coverage. This will protect your arms from sunburn and allow you to get a full range of movement with your workout.

Finally, don’t forget to wear your favorite workout socks! Whether you prefer cotton or synthetic, a good pair of socks will keep your feet dry and comfy while working out. In addition, they’ll also prevent blisters and chafing and help you avoid the discomfort of damp, irritated skin that can inhibit your ability to work out as effectively.

Once you’ve selected your gym outfit, grab a bottle of Lifebuoy Antibacterial Body Wash Total 10, which contains Activ Silver+, a powerful germ-fighting ingredient. It’ll be the perfect finishing touch to your outfit and help fight confidence-shrinking body odor before you head to the gym!
