Yoga is by far the best workout routine which is calming, relaxing and increases your flexibility. Yoga requires no hindrance at all, so it would be better if you wore tank tops with built-in bras. Choose ones with a meshed back. They make your body feel airy. These tank tops mostly have moisture absorbing capacity to make you feel cool and dry as well as make you look fit and sexy at the same time. Lower wear should be preferably stretchy half-pants or shorts; stick to cotton pants for this because spandex or rayon can be a little restrictive of your movements when you want to bend all the way or stretch backward. A long tank top and shorts; it is a terrific combination and is going to give you an amazing look. You can match it up with a high bun, if you prefer.
6. For the treadmill

Walking on the treadmill is a slow but sure calorie burner. For this physical activity you can bring back the classic gear of the track suit and pants. Choose cotton fabric because they keep you airy and fresh. Wear a loose white or grey tee-shirt within the track suit. Choose any color of your choice, not actively bright though. Something like crimson, maroon, peach or darker nude shades. This gives you a classic look, carry the rest of this outfit with quirky printed running shoes or even denim ones and a simple single braid in your hair. Overall, you’ll look cute and athletic. So they may say that “this outfit is old-fashioned” but what they do not know is that “vintage is the new trendy”.

Swimming requires immense stamina and is oxygen consuming. For the swimsuit, wear a one piece, they are more comfortable and stylish.

Thigh workouts can be painful in the beginning but they tone down your thigh muscles greatly. For lunges, you can stick to wearing a body fitting racerback tank top and on top of that, you can put on a nylon loose crop top; it’s going to look modestly sexy. Choose those attires that are mostly machine washable. For the lowers, you do not want to put too much pressure on your thighs so stick to cotton shorts. The best combination to look stylish is to go for a black tank top, dark violet crop top and grey shorts. This may seem monotonous with its plainness, but the color combination compensates for it. You can use a headband if you want, but wear your hair in a high ponytail.
10. For weight lifting

Be it using dumbbells or even heavy weights, it becomes a really strenuous exercise but great for your arms, biceps etc. For free movement, wear a brightly colored sports bra with a meshed back or a strappy back. You might like to wear a loose tank top over it, but just a bra will do just fine. For your lowers, we recommend rayon and spandex shorts; they should be above your mid-thigh by two fingers so that they do not hinder your legs in case you need to squat a little while lifting the heavy weights. Also wear sweat bands on your wrists; they prevent the sweat from reaching your palms as well as make you look active and ready for the physical activity. For the shorts and bra, choose a contrasting color combination, brighter colors look better, pin your hair back into a tight ponytail and you should be ready to weight lift, in style.
In today’s era it is not always possible to adhere to a particular workout outfit for a certain physical activity. Make sure most of your workout attires are made of polyester, rayon or nylon, and spandex. They are stretchy and adapt to your body movements and are not restricting. Ensure that these are machine washable. The important thing is, you want to focus on comfort and stylish. You simply cannot expect your body to adapt to the weather easily but you can buy clothes that can. All in all, if you have difficulty choosing you can always mix and match, just remember to be comfy while you are at it.
