    I usually wear a tight black t-shirt with either yoga pants, fitted/crop sweatpants, or a tights/skirt combo. I wear a headband. When my hair was longer, a ponytail or braids.

    I wear capri-length running pants, a sports bra UNDER a t-shirt. I'm there to workout, it's not a fashion show.

    :wink:

    It's tight, black, and not long. So, that makes it not old fashioned. Lol

    Thanks for the ideas. I'm just want to feel comfortable and not stick out....... Last time I was in a gym was before my kids were born, over 14 yrs ago.

    I say wear what you are comfortable in. The better you feel the better your workout will be. That's what I think.

    You won't stick out. People wear all kinds of stuff at the gym. There is a guy in my gym that dresses like the 80's, wears headphones, and dances while intensely staring into his own eyes in the mirror. It's endearing.

    As long as your clothes are relatively clean and sort of fit, it really doesn't matter.

    I always just wear an over-sized T shirt and workout fitted leggings (from Walmart) when I exercise!

    workout capris and a tank top, with sports bra. Nice and cool, covers everything and I don't feel out of place at all.

    My standard uniform for working out at the gym is a pair of black capri leggings, sports bra, bright colored tank top, and of course my neon pink running shoes with my hair piled up in a messy bun with a headband that matches my tank.

    Yes, I am one of "those girls" who spends time planning their outfit, and making sure it is fashionable and put together. I love shopping for cute workout gear. Do I do this to impress other people? Hell no! I do it because it makes me feel more confident and is just one little way to tell myself that I am worth it. Outside of the gym I am a super girly girl who likes wearing pretty things, why wouldn't I do the same when I work out?

    my standard uniform is black compression leggings or capris with a fitted shirt (ugggh i cant stand baggy stuff) that's either made with moisture wicking (usually black) or a thin cotton tee and the workout appropriate sports bra underneath.

    same here :laugh: unfortunately im very picky about my workout stuff : pants must have moisture wicking because i sweat so much, there was to be a little pocket somewhere to put a key, no crazy designs, etc . that means i end up buying things, trying them out and they realize they arent workout approved.

    I doubt anyone would ever notice what I am wearing at the gym! I am one of those heavy girls
    that within 10 min of working out looks like a bucket of water was dumped over my head. Not a
    pretty sight at all! :embarassed:

    Bottom line is this, nobody cares what you wear to the gym or what you look like, or why you're there.
    These are facts...

    Your concerns are common (I had them too) but nobody at the gym gives a tinkers damn why or if you're there!!!
    Just go!

    I agree with everyone who said wear what you're comfortable in. No one else at the gym is going to care.
