As times change and it becomes socially acceptable to hang out in your gym gear all weekend, whether you are frequenting the gym or not, it is time to rethink your sweats. Here we have edited down the best of workout apparel and accessories guaranteed to keep you looking on trend on relaxed days too.
Best for… Fitness Classes
Intelligent fabrics and dynamic construction are what is paramount for these high intensity work outs. Think co-ordinating bright colours with flyknit trainers, and stand out of the class.
Best for… Free weights
These strongmen generally favour a loose-fitting top and old-school drawstring shorts. Afterwards they’ll throw on a hoodie and sweatpants from reassuringly athletic brands such as Under Armour and Todd Snyder + Champion.
Best for… Cycling
It is all about innovative technology to create performance-enhancing gear in this sport. This sportsman chooses brands such as POC, who collaborate with the world’s foremost sports experts.
Best for… Boxing
It’s all about image and before warming up you will be sporting designer sweats and zoning out with oversized headphones. This Thom Browne tracksuit is just the right mix of retro and sporty.
Best for… Swimming
Swimwear for men is limited, which means that only the best quality will do. Shorts made from featherlight quick-drying stretch-shell and mirrored goggles will elevate your performance and style.
Best for… Running
Steer clear of basic cottons, instead choosing ‘pro’ layers which have sweat wicking properties. Step up your training without compromising on style with athletic wear and sneakers from the world’s best running brands.
