How much thought do you give to what you wear to the gym? Is it based or performance or fashion?

For me it's perfromance first and I'm also OCD about mathing so I factor that in as well.

    I don't give it too much thought. I wear what covers me and is comfortable. Usually it's capri-yoga pants and a racer-back tank top. If it's really cold out, I wear the same pants but I'll wear a thin cheapy long-sleeve thermal but I usually regret that when I get going in the gym.

    My pants aren't super skin tight like a lot of girls' are that I see, but not loose, and my tops are snug but mostly to help keep the girls subdued [along with snug sports bras]

    So...function, I suppose.

    Its alot....I love spandex...so the majority of my fits are that...and Nike, Danskin are my favorites...I have to be matching...Some clothing just don't absorb sweat correctly on the body...and you still want to look presentable...

    I make sure my clothing matches but that is just cuz I am OCD about that, as far as what people think I dont really care. I go to the gym late at night and personally I go when nobody is there so I don't have to talk to people. I want to get in and out without BS'ing when I am all sweaty.

    I try to wear functional stuff that doesn't make me look like I snuck in from the back alley where I live in my refrigerator box.

    I usually wear just a solid colored tee from Old Navy or Gap, and exercise pants (black) that are not too skin tight. My body isn't good enough for that look -- yet :)

    Definitely performance... Fashion has no place in the gym!

    Especially as I go to swim... not much use being fashionable and wet :laugh:

    Its based on comfort and the type of workout I'm doing. I don't need to impress people at the gym - I'm there to better myself.

    Comfort comes first.

    I'm there to improve my health and fitness, not for a fashion parade or a vanity-fest.

    Right now Im overseas on a deployment because Im in the military. So all we can wear are our PT gear to work out in. Otherwise, when Im back at home...I go to the gym in just regular looking workout clothes. The styles vary but I dont care what people are thinking because Im too focused on getting the job done and getting fit!!! Leggooo!!!!! :bigsmile:

    Performance.
    I cannot squat in a pair of spandex because it travels places.... and i NEED flat shoes or else its bare Feet.
    I can bench press in about anything. usually a hoodie and a pair of jeans.
    I can only deadlift in thin tight shorts.
    Most everything else semi-tight t-shirt.

    Come game day its all squat/bench/deadlift gear.

    I like to look cute / sexy in workout clothes, motivates me better. I find I am super uncomfy is loose fitting things or sloppy looking things, or stuff that doesn't match. I like to wear spandex pants and fitted t-shirts and / or hoodies, cute but functional.

    I just wear something comfortable. Some shorts, a t-shirt that I don't mind sweating in.. and that's pretty much it.

    I wear mainly all black so my sweat doesn't show and it's usually yoga type pants and a t-shirt.

    Comfort is number one. I wear yoga pants (not tight ones, especially now because I'm losing) and t-shirts. The shirts are also big, but I don't care. It all matches because it is hard not to match black yoga pants. I have never considered wearing "cute" clothes to the gym I guess. I'm there to sweat, and it ain't gonna be cute no matter what I'm wearing :laugh:

    You sound like my husband. He has to have matching shoes and everything. Its crazy. I don't really care all that much. I recently saw a grandmother wearing the same capri pants that I have...so I guess I dress like a grandma! Hee hee. That's ok. Not there to impress a single person.

    Depends on what the workout is. If I'm teaching Zumba, I try to dress flashier & "hotter." usually wear jewelry too, which makes it feel less like a workout :) lol. I love wearing tank tops if I'm lifting, so I can see my puny arm muscles working... Running, I can't wear shorts or my thighs will rub themselves raw lmao. I probably put too much thought into my workout clothes, but I like looking good while at he gym. Like catching my reflection & thinking "hey hottie!" motivates me to work harder :D

    In the winter time it's yoga pants and an old college t-shirt. My yoga pants are now a little baggy because I lost weight, but they are super comfortable.

    When I get to my goal weight (14.5 pounds away) I am going to treat myself to some workout clothes shopping, we are talking cute matching sets. I am excited!

    I couldn't care less... I'll wear my orange wicking jacket with my red shorts if that's what is clean.

    I wear yoga pants, a sports bra, a cami with a built in shelf bra (to keep the belly covered) and a t-shirt.

    I don't care about matching. In fact, I don't like to match too much. I have a lot of pink and black and I think it looks ridiculous if it's all on at the same time. I check the weather and see how cold it's going to be. I crossfit outside and need to dress accordingly.
