Lean is in has become an axiom for the majority of youth today. They sweat it out, hit the treadmill, go through those arduous cardio regimen to lose the flab and look fit as a fiddle. But along with the intrinsic fitness, the extrinsic appearance also matters. Hence, the gym attire becomes the cynosure.
Here, I'd be sharing some keys to look dapper while working out without causing a hole in your pocket.
Be it men or women, all the gym hitters have become conscious about their "work-out" look. So it becomes imperative to list what's in and what should go to a bin.
Here we go:
1. The faux paus of the oversized shirts and shorts is over. So, dare not step into them again and look like an indolent beam bag trotting around.
2. The key factor is comfort, so try to keep it as uncomplicated as possible. Don't try to embellish your attire with pretentious accessories. A wristband or at most a head band is fine.
3. Synthetic is the preferred fabric as it accomplishes the triple goals of being easy drying, repels sweat and are body hugging.
4. Though cotton is another alternative but, it takes longer to dry and the fit is not apposite, consequently less fashionable.
5. Use a mild deodrant to prevent the embarrassing moments.
6. For men:To further increase the comfort quotient, chose your boxers/underpants and socks with great discretion. Socks are generally given the least importance and are overshadowed by the tops and the shoes but don't commit this folly.
7. For women (especially): Use minimal or no make-up. You're heading the gym lady, not a gala party. Shoes should not be heeled and offer a firm grip with a super elastic sole that slides and glides well on any surface. Go for sturdy looking shoes instead of those that make you look like Japanese school girl.
8. Refrain from wearing psychedelic colors to gym. Use subdued colors that are easy on eyes and are insulating so as to keep you cool and airy.
9. Kind of exercises you pursue and the volume you sweat out also have a say. So, keep these parameters in mind while zeroing on your attire.
10. If you're going for a jog on a chilly morning, do wear a trendy sports jacket with track pants. All major brands like Nike, Reebok, Adidas and Puma give ample options to chose from. On the contrary, always wear a SPF while out on a sweltering day.
11. A light colored seat absorbing towel finishes rounds up the list.
Keep in mind the above mentioned points while going to your daily rigor. Do not pay too much attention to what you wear, just keep comfort and weather and pertinence in your mind. Don't let attire give you the sweat, dumb-bells are there for this purpose :)
Stay fit, stay fashionista !!
