Hi all.
Any recommendations on gym clothing for men? I currently just wear a tee and either shorts or track bottoms, but I often see guys wearing what look like leggings or branded clothing for gyms. Can't seem to find decent stuff in stores. Any good online suppliers?

    I think what you are wearing is exactly right; wear what you are comfortable in and effectively able to workout in whilst wearing.
    I think that sometimes the branded stuff is over done and borders on douchey...sometimes it skips merrily over the line, actually!

    I wear whatever I am comfortable in. It's not a fashion contest. Keep doing what you're doing.

    I love gym apparel...I will not go to the gym in shorts and a tee, I wouldn't feel right. Plus I like how gym clothes help with sweating....I hate to feel wet.

    Mostly all stores stock gym clothing. Marshalls, Nike Outlet stores, Dick's sporting Goods, etc. You can type in male gym clothes in your search engine and it should bring up options as well.

    I am not concerned about fashion and used to go out in a cotton tee shirt and hat to run. The humid weather would have me soaked in no time. I then discovered the new synthetic fabrics like UnderArmor and it made me a believer. This is also true during the winter months as well. The hat from the same material makes it very washable too. The bright colors make me a bit more visible. Having said all that my wife will still tell me my shorts and shirt don't match on a regular basis.

    Thanks for your input. I'm not fashion conscious, it's just I end up wet from sweat and don't know if it's worth spending more on the likes of UnderArmor.

    moisture wicking fabrics are your friend........

    Wear what ever is the most comfortable for you. The truth is most gym goers are so obsessed with how they look to others you won't even be noticed.

    Pretty much any moisture wicking fabric will do the trick for the sweat. That said, I really do like Under Armour and Nike gym clothes. I have stuff from Walmart that functions just as well though.

    As far as the leggings go...don't wear them unless you think you'd be comfortable in them.

    I wear gym shorts and moisture wicking shirts. I just get most of my stuff at Target.

    Gym goal with gym clothes: wear "dry fit" and make it look like false advertising. My gym clothes is usually the first things I grab that are clean, as my laundry is 95% gym clothes!!! It never ends.
