In recent years, gym wear has gone from being something you might wear to a spin class or the gym, to a street-style must-have. These days you’ll see incredibly stylish women running errands, out shopping, or grabbing a coffee in the most head-turning activewear pieces, and not simply because they are on their way to the gym.
We’re going to let you into a secret. They’ve probably been nowhere near the gym or even a gentle workout class that day. More and more of us are leading active lifestyles and so our wardrobes are full to bursting with activewear because it’s both super stylish and comfortable. No need for kettlebells here, thank you!
It’s high time we recognised that gym wear has gone mainstream and that, whether it’s because we are much more active than in previous decades, or because we love the comfort and style that workout wear offers, it’s here to stay. Who would have thought that styling up an oversized hoodie would be the nod to athleisure your everyday casual wardrobe needed? Keep on reading to learn just how to wear activewear every day and discover our EGO-approved activewear outfit ideas.

How to wear activewear to work
Even a few years ago, wearing gym gear to work was frowned upon. But, if you’re anything like us then you want comfort when you’re working and so you long for the super stretchy, fabulously body-skimming qualities of workout clothing. So much kinder to our skin and our bodies and let’s not forget that from an aesthetic point of view, tight-fitting gym clothing highlights your curves and makes the body both feel and appear leaner. Take seamless unitards, for example; they hug the silhouette in all the right places whilst providing flexibility and ease of movement. Styled with a cute cropped blazer over the top, this is how to wear activewear to work in style.

If you are lucky enough to be able to work from home from time to time, then your options for gym wear are unlimited. You can go full-on casual in loungewear, and nobody is going to call you out; but you still want to look on point, don’t you?
Whether you’re joining a virtual meeting or having a catch-up Google Meet with colleagues, it’s important to look smart enough for the occasion. After all, the way you present yourself can have a big impact on how you’re perceived by others at work.
At EGO we recommend a combination of style and comfort. An oversized graphic t-shirt is the perfect outfit-building piece and a great place to start. For added comfort, pair yours with some super soft and super flattering leggings and add a pair of sliders for the ultimate slay-at-home vibes.
