Yes, You Can Look Chic When Going to the Gym—These 5 Outfits Prove It

Well, January is here in all it’s grey glory, bringing it with a fresh determination to do (some) things differently in 2025. As I’m sure is the case with many of you, I have once again included “working out more” in my list of resolutions, but I’ve been down this road before. While I’m fuelled by the new year energy and enthusiasm through the first few weeks of the month, by February I’ve inevitably slipped back into old routines and find my gym attendance has reduced back down to virtually zero. I know I’m not alone—running app Strava has gone so far as to pinpoint January 18th as the date that most of us quit our New Year’s fitness resolutions. So how can I ensure things go better this time? Well, I think the answer lies in finding chic workout outfits that make me actually excited to book a class and go to it, before heading for my post-workout coffee after.

Ok, I know that might sound silly, but I genuinely do believe that feeling good in a workout outfit will encourage me to hold that plank for a little longer. Just think about how much your mood is boosted when you know you’ve wearing a particularly stylish look? Feeling great about your workout set and powering through an effective workout means a double hit of endorphins and dopamine—win-win.
