5 Flattering Gym Outfits for Every Day of the Week
With the weather warming up, it’s the perfect time to shake up your workout routine—and your gym looks. I’m all about finding that sweet spot between comfy and cool after transitioning from my cosy home setups to the gym. Here are my five go-to gym outfits that make me look as good as I feel after smashing my workout. These ideas aren’t just functional, they’re also stylish enough to take you from a morning jog to grabbing coffee without having to do the dreaded outfit change.
Monday
Mondays mean leg day, and what better way to start the week than in an outfit that’s as ready to tackle squats and lunges as you are? I’m bringing back my biker shorts as the weather warms up. They’re perfect because they stay put—no rolling up mid-squat—and they don’t restrict movement. I usually pair these with an oversized distressed t-shirt or a breathable pump cover, which is ideal for a post-gym coffee run if you’re an early bird like me.
Tuesday
After hitting my legs hard, I switch focus to my upper body. Comfort is key, so I opt for a fitted cropped top paired with jogger pants. This combo keeps things relaxed yet stylish, perfect for flaunting those upper body gains without sacrificing comfort.
Wednesday
Midweek is a toss-up; I might hit the gym or take a well-deserved rest day. If I do head out, I’ll slip into my favourite shorts and an oversized bridge-coloured top. It’s a low-intensity day, so you’ll find me spending less time lifting and more time on the treadmill. Opting for all black is my secret to keeping those inevitable sweat marks under wraps.
Thursday
Feeling the midweek burnout but pushing through with a lower-body workout. I prep my outfit the night before to dodge any excuses. To keep the motivation high, I go for my favourite matchy set. In the summer, I’m all about pastels. They’re fun to mix and match with darker leggings, offering more outfit combos to keep things fresh.
Friday
Friday’s session is all about wrapping up the week strong before heading out. I always have a zipper hoodie handy to toss on post-workout, perfect for transitioning from gym to social plans. Today’s look is simple yet chic: black leggings, a sleeveless cropped top, and a bright hoodie or jacket to add a pop of colour and style right after I finish up.
Each outfit is thoughtfully picked to not only suit the day’s workout but also ensure I’m looking and feeling great, whether I’m lifting weights or lifting spirits at dinner after.
