After a summer largely spent in lockdown for many, it’s not uncommon to be feeling unfit and out of shape. If your local gyms are opening back up you’re probably itching to get back to your old workout routine.
While your pre-COVID gym apparel may still be like new, it might no longer be so fashionable. Fashion trends change every season, with or without a global pandemic. So, if you’re heading back to the gym, read on to learn what’s trending in the activewear world this fall.
Cozy, Lightweight Hoodies
If you don’t already own a comfy, lightweight hoodie, now is the time to purchase one. In terms of functionality, cropped hoodies are great. Cropped styles easily release heat through the bottom, preventing overheating.
Cozy, fleece styles with a relaxed fit are becoming popular as the air begins to chill. This style is best for versatility too. Not only does it keep you warm when going to the gym, but the cozy fabric is also ideal for lazing about at home, or grabbing a pumpkin latte from your favorite coffee shop.
Moreover, off the shoulder pullovers and oversized zip sweaters are other on-trend styles filling the shelves of activewear stores this season.
Sculpting Leggings
Thankfully, the huge athleisure trend of sculpting yoga pants is still going strong. If you invested in a pair of these figure-hugging leggings at the start of the year, you may still be able to get your money’s worth this fall.
However, do bear in mind that colors and patterns go in and out of fashion. If you played it safe with neutral sculpt-fit leggings, this will pay off now. The most stylish patterns this autumn are edgy snakeskin and eye-catching geometric prints.
Matching 2-Piece Outfits
A trend that continues to grow is statement 2 (or 3) piece workout outfits. High fashion meets high performance in these sleek outfits with designs such as all-over reflective piping, ruffled fit crop tops, and long-sleeve shrugs layered over sports bras.
Activewear brand Fabletics has teamed up with actress Madelaine Petsch to create a new, never-been-done-before fall collection. As shown by Fabletics on YouTube, Madelaine’s new range is inspired by the latest runway trends including these 2/3-piece sets. We especially love the crimson cool outfit featuring a double-layered bra and second-skin, two-tone leggings in the beautiful fall colors, black cherry, and persimmon.
Cute Camo
If you want to stand out from the crowd, go with camo print this fall. Mustard and olive toned camo print looks perfect for this season. Think outside the box in terms of your gym attire too. To turn heads, choose a seamless second-skin feel bodysuit combined with butterfly-soft combat pants to really rock this gorgeous, colorful pattern. Instagram worthy indeed!
If you’re anything like us, we’re super excited to get off the couch and back in the gym. Treat yourself to a new, on-trend workout outfit to look and feel amazing while you sweat off those extra lockdown pounds.
