Active wear essentials: Gym gear goals

By Natalie Mariniello | August 29, 2016

Getting fit has never been more stylish, and what better way to motivate you to get out and be active!
Winter is coming to an end..Yay! I’ve never really loved it. Yes, layering your clothes can be fun, you get to wear cosy scarves and cute pom pom beanies. But when it comes down to it, I really dislike the miserable, cold, can’t-get-out-of-bed days. However, summer is not too far away (oh dear God) and that bod isn’t going to fix itself.
So, I thought I’d pull together some really cool, fun gym gear to get you motivated and moving in preparation for summer. And I don’t know about you, but spending my precious pennies on gym clothes means I’m going to have to use them!

TOPS

Tanks, muscle tops and cropped tops; there are a huge range of styles and designs out there. Here are a few fun, feminine, yet practical pieces that will inspire you to get that body moving.

OUTERWEAR

Unfortunately the wet, chilly weather hasn’t disappeared just yet. Lightweight jackets and sweaters are something you should invest in for travelling to and from your workout or keeping you warm on those fresh morning walks.

FOOTWEAR

Ok, so this is where it may get a little tricky. There are so many brands, styles and colours out there for you to choose from, it will be hard to narrow it down. What will help you make this decision is understanding the kind of support you will need in relation the the type of workout you will do. Here are some great brands which are practical but don’t compromise on style.
