There seem to be two types of people when it comes to working out: those who like to sweat, and those who like to be seen. Women who fall into the latter group very well may show up to the gym with a full face of makeup and a blowout. The others? A ponytail and water bottle. And while we’ll never discourage looking great, we prefer to dress well for the gym and maximize our sweat sessions at the same time.
In our busy lives, workouts are likely squeezed in-between meetings, before work, during work, after work, and on the weekends, wedged somewhere between brunch and shopping. Which essentially means looking good for life and the gym actually does matter. Our picks for fitness, below, don’t compromise style and will take your from day to play (and back again) with ease.
