Introduction
Not everyone is a big fan of gyms. But those who do go to gyms, always wear what is considered activewear. That's because activewear is designed to be comfortable and flattering—and it's just as ideal for everyday wear as it is for workouts. Here are some tips on how to build a wardrobe that lets you look great whether you're headed to the gym or just running errands around town:
Leggings and yoga pants for daily activities
First off, we have yoga pants and leggings. They're comfortable and easy to wear and can be worn suitably for any occasion. We recommend finding perfect-fitting, thick leggings that cover the butt and aren’t see-through. These leggings fit the best because they don’t make for an unpleasant sight as you walk around your neighborhood or while at the grocery store. Yoga pants and leggings are so versatile that you can even pair them with a dress. If you have an important meeting or date coming up, try wearing yoga pants underneath your dress to stay warm on a cool day. Or if it's hot outside, throw on a pair of shorts and enjoy the breeze through your legs. The best part? They're appropriate for almost any occasion, as long as the timing’s right!
Why wear sports bras for everyday use
Next off, we have sports bras. You don't have to exercise in order to wear a sports bra. Sports bras are great for everyday wear, low-intensity workouts, and low-intensity sports. A sports bra can also be worn as an actual bra for low-intensity activities such as walking or grocery shopping. Not only are they great for working out at the gym or at home, but they’re also perfect for simply walking around town. They are made with moisture-wicking fabric and have a higher neckline than traditional bras. Sports bras will often have wide straps so they won't show through shirts with thin material on the shoulders. However, if your workout shirt has thicker straps and isn't see-through then your regular bra might work just fine, but it won’t give you as much active support as a sports bra will, depending on the intensity of activity.
You don’t have to exercise to wear activewear
Did you know that about one fifth of U.S. consumers don’t buy activewear for exercise, according to Vogue Business? You can get away with wearing activewear all day long - especially in those situations that don’t involve sweating your ass off! Not convinced? Here are seven ways people use activewear daily, other than for working out:
- Activewear for more than just working out? No matter what type of workout gear you choose (sweaty or stylish), it's great for everyday life because it's comfortable and functional—and who doesn't want that?
- Activewear for going out? You know those cropped leggings and sleeveless tops that look amazing on Instagram but seem impractical when you actually try them on? Well guess what: those clothes won't only keep up with your active lifestyle; they'll look good while doing it!
- Activewear for work? Whether it's a quick trip to Starbucks or a client meeting across town, there are plenty of occasions where working out would be inconvenient but wearing athletic clothing will save the day—and we're always happy when our work clothes double as sweat-wicking onesies during long days at the office.
- Activewear for errands...or anything else that requires movement? From walking dogs and grocery shopping to running errands or going out with friends (because let's face it: sometimes life gets busy and there are no excuses not too), these pieces can help us stay comfortable while getting things done rather than feeling weighed down by heavy jeans or uncomfortable dresses.
Conclusion
We hope you’ve found this simple “guide” to activewear helpful. Whether you’re going to the gym or just want to feel comfortable at work, there are many ways to dress in athletic clothes without actually exercising. If you love yoga pants, but don’t want them just for workouts, try wearing them with some cute heels and a nice top instead! You can also wear your sports bra as an actual bra when doing light activities like running errands around town or taking photos of your family by the beach.
