Looking for inspiration for your gym wardrobe? Looking good and feeling good can really affect your performance so it's important to be comfortable in your activewear. We look at some stylish sportswear outfit ideas that will make you look as great as you feel.

Going out adventuring can be amazing fun. However, looking good while doing it can be a pretty tough feat! A lot of hiking, trekking, and climbing clothes are boring and lack finesse, so make sure you've got the fashionable side covered as well as the practical. Clothes that look good can be technical and practical too! Here, Carlos wears the Sundried Ortler Tee and Furgler Shorts to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. 

You've heard the phrase "look good while you sweat" in numerous activewear marketing campaigns but it always seems like a load of rubbish, right? Perfect models sprayed with a little water to look sweaty and wearing pristine sportswear. Well, here Carlos has just finished an intense circuit-training workout and is really feeling it! You need your activewear to still be comfortable even after a super tough workout where you might be looking a little dishevelled! Sundried's tanks and tees feature exceptional sweat-wicking technology so that you don't chafe and even anti-odour technology too.

Looking good before and after your workout can be important, too. These days, the athleisure trend is meaning more and more people are wearing sportswear as casual wear and gym clothes are replacing jumpers and jeans for many people. Make sure you look cool and comfortable by layering a loose yoga top over your sports bra and gym top with complementary colours and styles. 

When it comes to gym wear, you want to make sure you're comfortable above all else. If you're constantly having to hitch up your leggings or pull at your sports bra, you'll end up distracted and your workout won't be as good. We take a look at what makes the perfect gym clothes for women.

Sportswear

As well as being comfortable, you want your workout clothes to look good! Think about co-ordinating sports bras and leggings and flattering colours and shapes. The Sundried Breithorn Bra 2.0 comes in three colours all with matching leggings. The flattering racerback design won't chafe and means no straps slipping down while you move. It's so stylish that you could just wear it as a crop top when you head out with friends or family. 

Women's Athletic Wear

You want your workout clothes to make you feel like the real deal: an athlete! If you feel comfortable and confident in your sports clothing, you'll perform better at the gym. The Sundried Tour Noir Tank features a stylish cut-out back which will show off your figure and the mesh insert is super on-trend. If you're after something a little smarter, the Sundried Piz Fora women's training vest will make you look like a real professional and can be worn seamlessly outside of the gym too thanks to its clean lines and subtle colours.

Yoga Pants

High waisted or not? Capri or full length? Stretchy or compression? There's a lot to consider when it comes to yoga pants or gym leggings. Only you can know what works best for you and what you're most comfortable, so stick with what you know. High waist gym tights can flatter your figure and cinch your waist, but they can also be uncomfortable if they're too tight. 

Above all else, make sure you're comfortable and that you feel confident enough to get on with your workout without being distracted by your activewear. 

Finding the right running vest can be the difference between your best run ever and a terrible one. There are lots of things to consider when choosing a new running vest, especially if you know you'll be spending a lot of time wearing it. Being comfortable during long runs is paramount, as worrying about chafing and overheating can distract you from your performance. We look at the features you should consider when shopping for a new running vest.

Reflective

Especially as the winter nights start to draw in, having reflective strips on your running vest can enhance your visibility and improve your safety. The Sundried La Singla Vest features stylish block colour strips which will cinch your waist and keep you visible in low light.

Stylish

For ladies, one of the features we look at most closely is whether a running top is fashionable and looks good. If your running gear is stylish enough, you'll be able to wear it for more than just running and it'll translate to meals out and social settings too.

The Sundried Tour Noir Tank features a stylish cut out at the back which acts as ventilation on runs in warmer weather, but also looks great and will flatter and enhance your figure. It comes in black and white and the subtle branding and colour palette lends itself to being paired with the Sundried Breithorn Bra peeking out from underneath.

Lightweight

When it comes to running clothes for women, we want them to be lightweight and breathable. This is important as there is a good chance you'll be sweating heavily while running so you need technical sweat-wicking materials and premium fabrics to keep you comfortable. This jogging vest by Sundried is made from 100% recycled materials which give superior performance qualities. The fabric dries twice as fast as cotton meaning you will stay dry and comfortable throughout your run and you won't get unsightly sweat marks. It is super soft to the touch and will stay true to size even after several washes.

 

Smart

Finally, it's important that you look your best no matter what. If you look good, you'll feel good! A smart running vest will make you stand out from the crowd and will make you feel like the real deal. A well fitting, tapered athletic running vest like the Sundried Les Rouies Vest features a beautiful tapered fit which will flatter your figure without sticking to you. It sits well around the hips and will make you look like a real athlete.

Do you buy your clothes from the sport shop more often than a fashion retailer? Womens fitness clothing is on the rise and we explore why.

Womens Gym Wear

Wearing your gym leggings to lunch is now a widely accepted thing to do, and we couldn't be happier! 'Athleisure' is the trend of wearing gym clothes as everyday fashion so it's no wonder sales of sports clothing is on the rise.

 Ladies gym wear is comfortable, flattering, and now it's super stylish too. Wearing your workout clothes as all-day fashion means you can exercise at any time and not be inhibited by tight jeans or worry about sweating in an expensive cashmere jumper.

Seamless Activewear

Seamless gym clothes allow for better freedom of movement than ever before and prevent uncomfortable chafing. The Sundried seamless sports bra is super flattering and will be the most comfortable sports bra you've ever worn. Forget uncomfortable cups and chafing under the armpits. This sports bra moves as you move and almost fits like a second skin. The stylish design means you can wear it on its own or under an equally fashionable workout top. More and more women are choosing to wear fitness clothing as regular clothes and this sports bra is no exception. Instead of wearing a painful bra, why not wear this sports bra every day?

Womens Gym Leggings

If your gym leggings are smart and stylish, you can wear them for pretty much any occasion! The Sundried Ruinette leggings flatter your figure and are so comfortable you'll want to wear them every day. If you need to run for a bus or play with your kids, you'll be able to move with ease and the sweat-wicking technology will mean you stay dry and comfortable no matter what. 

Long Sleeve Tops

As winter approaches, you'll need to start thinking about those outer layers. There's nothing worse than running to catch a train in a big coat and then sweating as soon as you step onto the hot carriage and rushing to strip down to your t-shirt. That's why wearing sports clothing is such a good choice. The Sundried Long Sleeve Training Top is seamless so it's always comfortable and super flattering. It has technical sweat-wicking and anti-odour capabilities so even if you do overheat, you won't feel uncomfortable. Plus, it's unbelievably stylish! No one will even know it's supposed to be fitness clothing.

It can be tough to find good new men's running clothes brands when you're on the hunt for new running clothes. Our handy guide will help you know what to look for in mens running clothes.

Running trainers

Working from the bottom up, a good pair of running trainers is crucial for a good run. The way you train and your running goals are important to consider when looking for a new pair of running trainers. Do you want more of a barefoot style or do you need sturdy trail running shoes? Look at your running style and location first before you start searching for a new pair of men's running trainers. It's also important to consider your goals; a very lightweight pair of running trainers like the Topo Men's Speed Trainer will help you to achieve the goal of a speedy new 5k PB, but a more robust pair with waterproof features will help you during a longer, more demanding run.

Running shorts

The next thing to consider in our run down of men's running clothes is running shorts. The Sundried Furgler Shorts are designed with you in mind. These relaxed jogger shorts are super comfortable and won't inhibit your running style. They are very much like gym shorts in that they feature a longer length for enhanced coverage and zip pockets to keep your valuables safe while you run. You want your sports shorts to complement your training, and you can always wear running tights underneath for extra protection during the colder months. 

Running tights

You want your running tights to keep up with you while you train hard and get results. The worst things are when your leggings slip down or ride up while you're trying to run. Look for running pants with a personalised, adjustable waistband like the Sundried Roteck Leggings which have a double drawstring so that you can tie them as tightly or as loosely as you find comfortable. You also want to decide if you just want your leggings to run in on their own, or to act as a base layer under a pair of shorts. The Sundried Roteck 2.0 Tights are compression-style and are perfect for adding coverage and protection in winter.

Running tops

Finally, we come to running tops. There are plenty of styles to choose from such as sleeveless, t-shirt, tank etc. Think about which style you find the most comfortable and go for that. A long-sleeve top can be perfect for colder weather and provide compression to your workout.
