Gym Fashion 101


1. Life is too short to wear boring gym clothes. HAVE FUN WITH IT. You don't need to wear all black as if you are going to a funeral for your fat. The gym is my favorite place to rock the brightest of colors, funny tanks, and bad ass leggings. Don't let the guys have all the fun wearing their muscle tanks!

2. Don't wear makeup any where you are going to sweat. This means foundation is out, along with blush, and eyebrows are also going to have to go. It won't look cute when it starts to streak down your face, it will look sloppy. Bottom line: if you aren't sweating, you need to work harder, but that's a whole different issue. Having make up on while working out clogs your pores. You are out there trying to get a hot body, don't let your skin suffer just to look cute for the first 5 minutes of your workout.


3. Make sure your leggings aren't see through. There are certain workouts where your butt will be up and out for everyone to see. Make sure that when the material stretches out on exercises, such as squats or glute kickbacks, everyone isn't getting a glimpse of your cheetah print thong.




4. Dress appropriately. Now while you'd think this doesn't need to be stated, trust me when I say it does. Again, I know we want to look cute, but we are about to do some serious damage in the gym. Lifting weights, running, jumping, using machines; these things make us work and feel uncomfortable enough. You don't want to have to keep tugging at your tank top, continually pulling up your pants/shorts while running (or keep pulling them down if you decide wearing booty shorts is appropriate) and you most definitely don't want to have to keep adjusting your sports bra because it's not giving you the support that you need.

5. Accessorize!! Now there aren't many ways to accessorize when going to the gym. A few ideas would be headbands, colored headphones, shoes, wristbands/sport watches, a cute water bottle, (Jocelyn and I both have one that says Chug Life) even cute lifting gloves/belts could be an accessory that can show style
