Years ago, working out meant putting on an old t-shirt and a pair of mesh shorts. Today, it’s a little different. Men have more options than ever before. Still, men aren’t likely to roam a mall or read up on workout fashion, so to help you figure out what’s trendy with very little effort – here’s what you should be wearing to work out:
1. Thin long-sleeve shirt
If you’re a runner, look for thin, lightweight long-sleeve shirts that are sweat-resistant and cool. If you like to run outside, consider one with reflective material.
2. Compression shorts
Yes, compression shorts are tight, but they keep everything in place. There are compression shorts made of super-soft fabric that are comfortable and they look great with a loose t-shirt. Many compression shorts even have hidden pockets for your keys or phone.
3. Athletic tights
Tights, really? Yes. Tights are in. They look more like black leggings really. The huge benefit of athletic tights is their ability to eliminate chaffing. That’s right, they can eliminate chaffing in an area no wants to chafe.
4. Classic, lightweight t-shirts
Simple t-shirts are certainly still trendy. However, you might consider upping your t-shirt game by adding a few made of moisture-wicking material. Opt for lighter colors too, like light grey or light blue.
5. Workout hat
You can go for a run in your favorite ball cap, but let’s face it, it’s going to be a sweaty mess. Instead, invest in a hat that you use specifically for working out. Ditch the trucker hat-look and go for something that’s made of lighter material that’s ventilated and won’t trap heat.
6. Track pants
The days of working out in $6 sweatpants are over. Instead, look for a pair of track pants. Not the button-down, tear-away pants from the 90s, just a light, thin pair of track pants.
With this list of trendy workout clothes, you’ll be able to work out and look good doing it.
