If you have a drawer full of workout attire that’s less-than-inspiring, then it may be time to invest in some new gear. The right pieces can add extra motivation to your workout routine and keep you on track with your fitness goals.

The most important factors in workout attire are fabric, fit, and style, says personal trainer Massy Arias. Breathable fabrics that wick away sweat will keep you cool and dry while you work out. Look for fabrics like LYCRA® XFASTTM, COOLMAX®, and SUPPLEX®. These synthetic fabrics help to move sweat away from the skin to evaporate quickly and keep you cool and comfortable.

Another factor to consider is how the fabric feels against your skin. Soft, stretchy fabrics feel good against the skin and will help you move freely while you workout. For higher-impact workouts, such as HIIT or running, choose tighter, more supportive fabrics. For lower-impact workouts, such as yoga or Pilates, loose, more flexible fabrics will allow you to move freely and comfortably.

Finally, make sure your workout gear has special features that can support your routine. For example, pockets can come in handy if you want to bring your phone with you on your run or yoga class. Look for leggings with pockets, athleisure hoodies, and more to store your essentials during your workout.

So next time you’re hitting up your favorite gym, grab some of these new workout clothes to make the most of your session. Then hit the road, trail, or studio with confidence.
