    Lol maybe the super sexy wear is to try to balance out the "drenched in sweat" look.

    I like looking cute at the gym. I feel better about myself when my outfit matches and I have a cute headband. I mean I don't do my hair & makeup, but I don't throw on ratty sweats either..

    What is with the workout skirts? I don't have a problem with them or find them overly sexy, I'm just confused as they seem like they would be awkward to workout in.


    As for sexy gym wear... bring back the 70's basketball shorts, rawr.

    Tiny shorts, short little bra tops.. how serious can these people be?

    I usually wear a sports bra UNDER my bra top. lol
    If you have the figure for it than no. If you have a figure like me, than yucko. lol I am having a hard time finding cute workout gear that lets me breath and keeps me covered and others from puking. lol

    yes-ish? there are magazine covers featuring athletes that i am embarrassed to be seen with. for example, if you are not familiar that it is men's fitness, at a glance it could be mistaken for maxim. i haven't encountered any i would deem inappropriate at the gym though.

    Funny enough I never notice when at the gym. It's not a sexual environment or a time I really think about checking women out. I'm there to burn some calories, destroy fat, and lose weight. You could be naked for all I care as long as you wipe the equipment when you are done.

    I couldn't agree more. When I'm at the gym I'm too busy busting my a** to notice or care what other people are or aren't wearing. Then again there are two groups of gym goers: those who are serious about working out and those who go for the eye candy and blather away on their phones. If you belong to the first group then you are exempt from workout wear criticism, BUT if you fall into the latter then yes, you are entirely subject to scrutiny and should turn in your booty shorts and gobs of makeup to the front desk like STAT. I am just kidding but kind of not :tongue:

    Same here. I will match them and I'll usually wear a tank top of some sort, but no short shorts or sports bra only here.

    Give me the ratty sweats any day of the week.... especially the ones baggy in the legs and butt that used to be form fitting and tight. :happy:

    I get offended every single time I ogle the ladies at the gym.

    Well played, sir. Well played.

    I wear that stuff at home when working out, but never to the gym.

    I'm happy to say, I think I have my workout wardrobe finally figured out. I have several pairs of pink shorts (not uber long, and not daisy duke short) and several black tops - sleeveless and athletic tees. This way, I look like a girl (my dad told me I looked like a football player in my old workout outfit), you can't see all my sweat in the black top, and I am comfortable, and also feel cute and confident, but not like I jumped out of a Victoria Secret catalogue.

    I'm more likely to go to the gym and workout around other people if I feel cute - if I'm feeling frumpy, I'm more likely to skip the gym and watch an old Cosby episode while eating mindlessly.

    In my opinion. Guys are going to stare either way. Just depends on whether you want to give them a reason to or not.
