Mens Workout Clothes
When choosing mens workout clothes, the emphasis is on function and comfort. Working out requires a lot of movement and sweating, so making sure that you have comfortable clothes that are easy to move around in is very important. Fortunately, you have plenty of workout clothing options that are both comfortable and stylish so you can look and feel your best at the gym.
Tops
When you go to the gym, it is best to dress in layers. If you’re too cold, you can add a hoodie or sweatshirt and if you’re too hot, you can take off your sweatshirt and work out in your t-shirt.
Bottoms
It is a good idea to wear shorts when working out. Shorts allow you a wider range of movement and help keep you cool. You can find shorts made of cotton or moisture-wicking fabric that is specially designed for working out. Your shorts should be loose enough that you can bend and squat without discomfort, but fit you well enough that they are not in danger of falling down.
Shoes and Socks
The type of shoes you wear depends on what type of exercise you plan to do and shoes are one of the most important parts of workout apparel. Flat bottom shoes are necessary if you plan to lift a lot of weights, while specialty running shoes are best if you plan to run or do other types of intensive cardio. Most people choose cross-trainers, which are versatile and comfortable.
Most people use plain white cotton socks, which work very well for working out. However, you can also find special socks made from moisture-wicking fabric with built in arch support. Many people enjoy these socks because they keep your feet from sweating too much and help support your feet and lower your risk of injury.
Colors
Dark, neutral colors are best for mens workout clothes because they hide sweat better than bright or light colors. However, if you are exercising outside, you may want to wear lighter colors as they will reflect the light and make you less likely to overheat.
Fabric
When choosing mens workout clothes, the type of fabric you wear is very important. Recommended fabrics differ depending on the type of exercise that you’re doing. For example, if you’re doing an exercise that will have you sweating a lot, you may want to try a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric. These fabrics do not soak up moisture like cotton, but instead they draw moisture out and away from your body where it evaporates.
If your workout includes yoga or some other type of stretching, you may want to wear spandex or polyester clothing, which will stretch with you without getting stretched out.
Brands
Some of the most popular brands of mens workout clothes include Nike, Reebok, and Under Armour. All three of these brands specialize in workout clothes and have a wide variety of high quality clothes and access to all the latest workout technology.
Where to Buy
You can buy workout clothes for men both online and in most clothing stores. Stores like Kohl’s and Target offer a limited selection in-store and a slightly larger selection online. If you want a wide selection, you will need to go to a sports store. Many cities have locally owned sports stores or you can go to a national chain such as REI, Dick’s Sporting Goods, or Sports Authority. These are just a few places you can find workout clothes and most areas have many more.
Buying the correct mens workout clothes is very important. The correct clothes will help you move freely and easily as well as feel more comfortable while working out. Some of these clothes can be pricey, but you may find that the comfort and improved safety of working out in special workout clothes is worth the price.
