As a perpetual couch potato, I have tried almost everything one can possibly do to motivate myself to hit the gym (or the mat, or the reformer, you get the gist, right?). A personal observation I made over the course of ten days when I actually went to the gym consistently was that on days I had put in a little more effort to dress up for working out (yes, I know it sounds off), I felt great. I was driven to break a sweat, had great energy and took some cool pictures for my Insta. I blame Instagram for constantly showing me videos of what the internet refers to as 'workout girlies' or 'Pilates moms' and fueling my fantasies about becoming one if I dressed the part rather than looking like a ruined gen-Z in hosiery joggers and a rugged T-shirt (no offense).

By now, I hope you get the point I am making. Dressing cute to the gym can increase your dopamine levels, motivating you to keep working out. And here are twelve 'fits from different brands that make me feel the same way, and may do the same for you!

Kica

Kica is my one-stop-shop for all things workout clothing. The reasons are pretty obvious—great quality, pocket-friendly price point and variety of silhouettes. Since summer season is in full roll, I am are currently eyeing this super cute pair of High-Rise Ombre Flare Pants by Kica in this very alluring shade of blue that screams hot girl summer energy. To match the lighter hue of blue, I would opt for their Flowy Cotton Tank Top.

Alo

The super trendy (and aspirational) American athleisure clothing brand is selling through Nykaa Fashion in India and I can't help but wait for next month's paycheck to get my hands on this really sleek sports bra but make-it a tank situation. The racer back and turtle neck combination looks promising in terms of support and I love the espresso shade (call it a Skims effect if you like). While I couldn't find the matching bottoms, I found Alo selling these really cute black sweatpants which I feel would match quite well with the top but cost a bomb ATM. And yes, cute sweatpants always come through, especially when they are Alo.

Cava Athleisure

It's giving 90's rom-com cheerleading squad and I honestly dig that white-and-blue varsity vibe. With tenniscore being the hottest trend right now, it only makes sense that we own at least one cute sporty skort set. I like how the skort has a high-waistline so it keeps your waist feeling snug when its in action. The two-toned tank top looks quite cute, I actually like this set even though I am not a skirt person for how it feels very sporty minimal but girly at the same time.

Ela Wear

Ela Wear's aim is to make comfortable fitness wear that moves with you and allows you to maintain your effortless look through any occasion, any setting. Whether you’re going to the gym, going out, or you’re just a go getter. A scroll of their website does actually make you believe that in  a good way. I found this really cute playsuit in a deep orange colour, perfect for added some colour to your athleisure stack. The knit romper features a scoop neckline, straight-cut back, adjustable cami straps, and a form-fitting silhouette, and would like super cute teamed with a baseball cap and sunglasses when not worn to the gym but for your casual outing. What makes me like it even more is that it has built-in bra cups and because its a onesie, everything's going to stay in place no matter what aggressive workout you have planned.

Yama Yoga

Yama Yoga is a homegrown sustainable activewear brand that is specifically influenced by yoga and how it benefits one in their pro max hustling phases. The brands takes pride in how they have spent years in perfecting their fabrics and have three different offerings that brag stellar performance. Aera Yama is meant for light workouts and a extremely smooth technical fabric that's super breathable. Flo Yama has super stretch so nothing feel flimsy, no matter how many cartwheels you do and also absorbs tons of sweat. Lastly, snug Yama is a ribbed, cotton-like performance fabric that feels like nothing on the skin. Their Flo Flared Yoga Pants in Tea Green are calling my name because its monochrome but technically still a colour (right?). I like how the elastic at the waist is quite broad and would give support to the lower back when you squat and stretch sans digging into your skin. Pair it with the matching Flo Athletic Bra in Tea Green, and thank me later!

Silvertraq

As someone who's been consciously trying to add some colour to their wardrobe, I will have to commit that I have fallen hard for this tie-and-dye workout set from Silvertraq because it has just the right amount of quirk while being in a monochromatic hue. Made from polyester yarns recycled from PET bottles, it not only looks great but makes you feel great as well. What had me losing my mind over this set was that the leggings come with a zipper pocket at back waistband for your keys and cash.

Nykd by Nykaa

Nykd by Nykaa has quickly become one of my favourite go-to brands. From casual wear to active wear, they are just crazy good. I recently stumbled upon their Longline Tank Top — it is summer-friendly, super breathable and on-trend. The racerback cross over detail adds the perfect casual meets elevated style. To get a chic look, I found their Cloud soft & flattering leggings in wine colour that can be paired with the tank top. The result? An effortlessly chic outfit that works for everything from workouts to coffee runs.

It’s no surprise that a brand named ‘The Dance Bible’ does clothing so trendy that you’ll actually want to hit the gym — or at least a dance class.

It helps me achieve the perfect ‘I just threw this on’ look and while still being super stylish. Plus, it’s high quality, comfortable and just the right amount of sexy!

AS Fitnation

I discovered AS Fitnation after days of trying to find Pinterest-y workout clothes and I haven’t stopped recommending them to people since then. The moment I came across their Instagram and website, I instantly fell in love with their collection and you’ll too once you look at them. While it’s challenging to pick one or two fits from their collection, I am absolutely in awe of their Activego Skirt Set. With different colour options, this set is as functional as it is fashionable.

The brand’s tagline is ‘fits like freedom’ and I 100% assure you it does. Their clothes are perfect to get the ‘workout’ girlie vibe going on. They have a wide collection of clothes that are perfect for the gym, work, or just lounging. If you look at their Soft Girl Era Sports Bra and Shorts set, you’ll understand what I mean. It is the ultimate summer set for yoga, swimming, and everything in between. Made of lightweight breathable fabric, it’s comfortable, cute and summer-approved.
