Let’s explore some ways to style your gym wear into whatever you want it to be – athleisure done the right way!
What is a Capsule Wardrobe For Working Out?
The foundation of a capsule wardrobe is versatile pieces that work double duty. They work anywhere and everywhere – pair them with the right outerwear and accessories and you will be good to go. Here are some essentials that you should have in your capsule wardrobe:
Category 1: Activewear Foundation
-
2 Pairs of high waisted leggings for women, preferably in neutral colours like navy, black or olive.
-
1 pair of joggers that transition seamlessly from workout to casual.
-
2 tops, including a tank top and a seamless bra top. Choose tops that can be worn individually or sit comfortably under a jacket
Category 2: Transition Pieces
-
A denim jacket – undoubtedly one of the most versatile pieces of outerwear that can be worn for both daytime and nighttime occasions.
-
A statement jacket – like leather, bomber, etc.
-
An oversized linen shirt – preferably in a neutral colour like white or beige.
-
A longline blazer for smart casual
Outerwear: Your Transformation Tool
The right outer layer instantly elevates activewear from gym-focused to street-ready. Here's how to choose and style outerwear for maximum versatility:
Transition From Gym Wear to Casual
-
The Oversized Shirt: Wear an unbuttoned oversized T-shirt over your sports bra and your leggings for gym. Roll the sleeves for a relaxed vibe. Choose a shirt in white or a muted colour as they work with any colour base.
-
The Bomber Jacket: Structure enough to be smart, casual, comfortable enough for movements.
Day Time To Night Time
-
The Leather Jacket: Nothing elevates a look faster than a leather jacket. Pair it with track pants, jumpsuit or leggings of your choice, add the right heels to it, and voila!
-
The Longline Blazer: Pair a neutral blazer with a neutral colour jumpsuit accessorize with statement jewellery and go from sporty to sophisticated in seconds.
Quick Tips
-
Choose the right footwear as per the occasion: Move from training shoes to casual sneakers for a casual look, but for a more sophisticated occasion, even the right heels can make a world of difference.
-
Add some jewellery to polish your look: Follow the 3-piece rule when it comes to accessorizing. It could be a watch, earrings and one statement piece.
-
Keep a travel friendly kit to transform your look: Pack a kit of essentials including hair and makeup products, a stain remover for emergencies or mishaps, and other things that can be your last minute saviour. It’s the little things that count.
