What We’re Wearing
To the Gym
Here’s the thing about fitness gear: you may not feel like shelling out top dollar for clothes that you're just going to sweat in, but science has actually proven that what you wear influences how you feel about yourself. And when you show up to the gym in some badass performance gear, you have more confidence. So, in that way, building out a nice workout wardrobe is an investment in your health.Right now, we're all about comfortable and adaptable layers—items that are easily pulled on and off, depending on the environment. Pieces that are flexible, sweat-wicking and look as good during sweat sessions as they do when you're cooling down sipping that protein shake. We'll see you at the gym.
