Gym Clothes You’ll Actually Want to Wear to Workout

So, you're not Alessandra Ambrosio and you don't look like you just stepped out of a salon after hopping off of a spin bike. That's not what we're going for here, so let's skip right ahead.

We will, however, advocate for leaving at home tired and tattered t-shirts to instead dress for gym success. Workout stuff that looks good will actually make you want to drag your ass onto the treadmill or into the Zumba class (spoken from experience), and with resolutions being made left and right... well, need I say more?

Here are 18 pieces that you'll actually be excited to wear to the gym.
