Summer of Sport: What To Wear For Every Type Of Workout
Aug 06,2024
It's a summer of sport and whilst it seems that everyone has been joining running clubs and running marathons, we know it's not for everyone.
Maybe you’re more of a pilates kind of girl, love an F45 on a Saturday morning or enjoy a weekly spin class. Whichever kind of exercise is for you, having the right workout gear is essential.
For a more intense gym workout like F45, you’ll need something that’s high support and sweat-wicking. For a yoga class, something comfortable and flexible will be best. To make things easy, we’ve put together the ultimate guide on what to wear to the gym for every type of workout.
Including flattering and sculpting pieces from our fits women's gym wear range, get ready to feel confident and look incredible for your next workout.
Pilates
Has your bestie asked you to join her at her next pilates session? Pilates requires a lot of movement, so you’ll want to go for something tight fitting but with stretch fabric. This type of workout might be low impact but don’t underestimate how hard it’ll actually be, so you’ll need a breathable fabric too. Go for a cute matching set with our blue soft touch gym leggings and medium support sports bra in buttery soft touch fabric.

Yoga
Yoga also involves a lot of movement so you want to find the perfect in-between of a workout top that’s not too loose and not too tight to restrict your movement. A second-skin top like our sweat resistant ribbed short sleeve top will give you the ideal amount of flexibility and coverage. Pair it with black flared yoga leggings with a high waist for extra support.
