To loosely paraphrase Deion Sanders, “If you look good, you feel good, and if you feel good, you play good.” This is true in any environment; you should always dress for the job you want and not the job you have, right? Why not use this same logic for workout attire?

Attendance rates at gyms are increasing this month (like every January), but honestly, we're here for it. Maybe it's your first time at the gym in a while or you're simply prioritizing fitness in the year year. Workout culture can be intimidating, so pulling on a fresh fit can ease your mind and give you some confidence.

Personally, I think gym attire should be subtle and understated like any other outfit. Last thing you want to do is draw attention to yourself as you're trying to set a new PR in deadlifts. Great shoes are a must for a productive workout especially if you're doing cardio or body-weight exercises. A nice nylon hat is great to keep the sweat out of your eyes while boosting the incline on the treadmill.

Other workout staples are great headphones and a sweat-proof gym bag. If you don't workout with headphones, how and why do you do this?! They're a necessity to get through any circuit. And a durable tote can hold your clothes and shoes while looking stylish enough to carry into the rest of your day. These pieces will have you looking stealth as you're trying to improve your health and remember, you've already won if you're at the gym.
