If your idea of workout clothes is putting on loose white cotton t-shirt and a pair of worn out yoga pants, girl you are on the wrong track, or in the wrong decade. With gym memberships and other sports activities becoming more popular than ever, the fitness style evolved from simple and comfy to fashionable and flattering. And if you think that looking great while sweating, jumping and lifting is just as probable as bumping into a unicorn in the middle of the city, think again. Here are some tips that will turn you into true fitness beauty believers.
Support Your Girls
With each running stride your breasts will move up and down, in and out and side to side. If they’re not supported by a good sports bra, not only will they make the whole workout uncomfortable and weird, but it’ll also look bad. Fight the awkward gravity with a fitting push up sports bra, which will make any tank top look like it came straight out from the spring/summer runway show.
Choose Figure Flattering Clothes
Wearing everything loose when working out is neither pretty nor functional. It can limit your range of motion and even make you more prone to injuries. You don’t have to wear too tight pieces either. Just choose the clothes that are helping you embrace your silhouette. If you are uncomfortable about your bumps and lumps, you can invest in some shapewear that will help you conceal the problem areas.
Opt for Moisture Wicking Fabrics
The most annoying and unappealing thing about a gym session is the sweaty clothes. Sure, you may minimize that with antiperspirants, but the sweat patches still remain. Instead, opt for moisture wicking materials which will completely eliminate your problem. With quality bodybuilding apparel being available in almost every sports shop (online and offline) you have a wide range of styles and sizes to choose from.
Add Some Color
Every outfit needs a pop of color, especially the gym one. The touch of brightness will keep you extra motivated when you think you can’t go stronger, faster and better. The vibrant fitness gear is also perfect if you want to enhance your assets and conceal your problem areas by accentuating your best features. Also, you can introduce colors with accessories such as gym bag, headphones, towel, water bottle, etc.
Get Your Hair under Control
No you can’t wear your fabulous curls or your breathtaking straight hair au naturel when working out. It will annoy you while you’re exercising, and in the end, it will look wet, ragged and unappealing. Tying it up in a messy tail isn’t the solution either. If you want to look cute and gorgeous, you can go for a high ponytail, bun or a braid. Colorful headband or rubber band will give you another dash of style.
Fake the Natural Look
You know those girls who always look perfect no matter how hard they work out? Well, most of them are using the good old “fake it till you make it” tactic. Take it from them and even out your complexion with light mineral powder or tinted moisturizer and use a water spray to avoid red-faced look. Waterproof mascara and tinted moisturizer will seal the natural makeup look.
What’s that? You saw a unicorn, or did we finally make you believe that you can be a stylish gym-goer? Follow these tips not only to look great while working out, but to boost your confidence and become more willing to go that extra mile.
