    I wear... wait for it... non-name brand clothes.


    As long as they're clean & fit me - I couldn't even tell you what brand most of my stuff is.

    there is some psychology behind people who look good in the mirror/feel confident tend to have better self-esteem/work harder at the gym - but i haven't seen much recent research on it

    This is not anything I've ever thought about or anything I would consider remotely important in going to the gym. I pull out whatever is clean from my closet and throw it in my gym bag and just go to the gym and put my work in. Heck, I've forgotten to bring athletic socks with me and have had to wear my argyle work socks with my workout clothes.

    Just go and focus on what you're there to do. The gym isn't a fashion show. Go get your work in and your sweat on...it doesn't matter what you're wearing (as long as you're wearing something).

    Pretty sure I've NEVER matched my clothes like you are describing. I wear what is clean and is the most comfortable to the gym.

    okay... fine.

    Y'all just wear whatever you want to the gym; but have a little decency and please ensure that your wrist-bands match your headband.

    it's unpossible to overstate the importance of this.

    I just finished up the IT Crowd. LOVED it.

    And, I don't go to the gym but I do walk outside and really don't care if I'm matching or what brands I'm wearing (usually no name that I get that Marshalls or TJ Maxx). I just want to be comfortable and not too hot or too cold. :)

    If this is an honest concern for you, you should probably just stay home.

    Seriously?

    OP a lot of people ask this and like other comments have noted, it really does not matter. Most are not concerned at all with that. Get your gear on, get to the gym and do your work!

    Thanks for this x

    For me, my confidence grew alongside my increasing competence. Learning how to do things, getting stronger and fitter.

    I can see how a nice gym outfit might make a person less self-conscious, so if that helps you to get it done and build a good gym habit, then do it. 🙂

    Ask questions when you're there! we ALL started somewhere, and we are all there for the same reason. To better ourselves. I can speak for myself, but i'm actually flattered when people ask me for advice at the gym!

    I mix brands all the time but I need to be coordinated, no clashy colours or patterns. I workout at home and this is very important to me or my workout suffers :p
