The biggest problem most women face when going to the gym (a part of course from the lack of motivation that sometimes we feel after having had a long and busy day), is to find the perfect balance between comfort and looking good. You simply never know whom you might meet whilst you are working out and, if you see it from this perspective, managing to look stylish also in these occasions becomes quite important. So, continue reading for some suggestions and tips on how to look good and feel comfortable at the gym!
Footwear is the most important thing
It goes without saying that choosing the right footwear is the most important thing to feel comfortable at the gym. Many shoes will really help your workout giving you an extra boost and making your feet breathe. What you really want to look for in a pair of running shoes is stability and fit and the best thing to do is to ask your fitness trainer for advice, as different purposes will require different shoes.
For example, the first pair of shoes you see here from Asics ($99.99 at Foot Locker) is super light and will keep your feet dry and fresh and it is perfect both for biking and running. The other pair from Nike ($179.99 at Foot Locker) delivers maximum cushioning and flexibility which makes it perfect for most types of workout.

Yoga pants will be your life-savers
According to a recent survey, yoga pants are among the items that men find the sexiest on a woman, maybe because they are so flattering on anyone. Plus, they are also great for all kinds of workout despite the name, so they are a definite must-have for the gym. You can either go for one with a 3/4 length like in the first case ($79.00 at REI) or for a full-length one like in the second case ($98 at REI).

Choose the right sport bra
Not wearing a sport bra but a normal bra instead will end up being a really painful experience for you. Plus, it will ruin your cute bras with sweat stains and you certainly do not want that to happen. The solution is to find a sport bra that really fits you and the best way to do that is to get professionally measured in a shop. Once you try on the bra, do also some tests like trying to jump up and down to see if it feels comfortable.
The two sport bras in the picture (1. $57.99 at Under Armour; 2. $44.99 at Under Armour) are both really good for working out because they provide the best comfort, fit and sustain that will make your time in the gym much more pleasurable.

Go for brightly colored tank tops
When it comes to choosing your tank tops for the gym, look for something colorful, fun and bright! They will also make you look really stylish when you go in and out from the gym and they are of course practical for working out! Choose something in cotton rather than a synthetic material as it will make your skin breathe more and sweat less. The choices are endless, ranging from girly bright colors ($55 at REI) to fun and summery neon colors ($35 at Under Armour).
