When it comes to gym clothing women, we’re looking for pieces that are both functional and stylish. That means ditching the old cotton tee that absorbs every bit of sweat and leaves you feeling like a wet, clammy blanket, and replacing it with breathable synthetic or lycra fabrics that move with your body to keep you comfortable throughout your workout.

The ‘fits you pick up for the gym should have a snug, flattering fit – but not so tight that they feel restrictive or uncomfortable. Look for high-quality fabrics that won’t fade after frequent washings, with a good amount of stretch so they move with your body. And if you’re shopping for leggings, make sure they aren’t too long or short, and opt for ones with flat seams to avoid chafing.

Fashion-forward Fitness: Stylish Gym Clothing for Women on the Move

If you’re in the market for a yoga-inspired set that’ll look just as good off the mat as it does on it, check out female-founded brand Alo Yoga. Its stretchy, breathable performance fabric is designed to move with your body – and you can choose between Core neutral colors and limited-edition trendy shades for true studio-to-street style.

Another great option is Koral, a brand founded in 2014 by a Northern girl who wanted to create sexy activewear that flatters the female body and looks as sleek on a night out as it does at the gym. Look for sleek, asymmetrical designs and textured fabrics like its popular Space Dye fabric, which has a marble look and cozy feel but also performs well on the mat.
