When it comes to reaching your fitness goals, there’s nothing more powerful to jumpstart you towards success than showing up to the gym feeling your best. Whether you’re going to the gym to maintain your health, improve your physique or start a new habit, the last thing you want to focus on is a loose bra strap or worrying over your shorts riding up too high. Investing in pieces that fit and flatter will help maintain your focus and keep you motivated during your workout. We’ve compiled our favorite flattering workout outfits, pieces & silhouettes to combat common distractions like tummy rolls, camouflaging hips & thighs, arm coverage, waist-flattering tops and alternatives to harder-wears like leggings.

Shorts: High Waisted, A-line, Oversized & Long

Opting for longer, high waisted a-line shorts help camouflage the thigh and stomach for a more flattering workout ensemble. 

Workout Dresses & Onesies

Depending on the silhouette of your workout dress, you can camouflage the thigh, stomach, bust line and even the waist. This option is also great for that extra boost of feeling more “pulled together”.
When wearing onesies, having a solid color top to bottom can help move the eye through the body and defocus from potential “problem areas”.  Wearing a onesie with a lightweight top layer is a great look for walks, hikes and low-level exercise. 

Skorts: High waisted, Pleated, A-line

Pleated, circle and a-line skorts are great for camouflaging the thigh. Opting for a high waist helps camouflage tummy, avoid ride-ups and bring definition to the waist.

Beyond The Tee: Layerable Oversized, Ruching, Twists, Sheers & Pullovers for Coverage

Layering a tee over your sports bra gives extra coverage to hide tummy rolls, bust area & give arm coverage. Opt for ruching, decorative twists or delicate sheer pieces to take your ensemble to the next level. Utilize oversized tees for stylish overall coverage – not all big tees are “sloppy”! Pull off the look with intentionally relaxed silhouettes, or pair a big tee/workout sweater. 

Tank Tops: Thick Strap, High Neck, Built in Bra, Fashion Straps or Ruching

Feel comfortable, supported and reduce the distractions of slipping bras with thicker straps, high necks or built in bras. We love confidence boosting fashion-straps like a one-shoulder with a built in bra, or a flattering ruched piece to hide tummy rolls.

Replace Your Leggings With These: 

Leggings can be a tough wear with a bare-it-all appearance in the bottom, leg and thigh areas. Opt for high waisted wide leg athletic pants, v-waist, flare or split hem leggings, or specialty toning/shaping leggings from brands like Spanx.

Arm Shapers & Lightweight Top Layers

Arm shrugs & lightweight top layers: For protection from the sun, body or arm coverage, try these picks! Layer arm-sleeve shrug pieces over a tank top or your favorite sports bra.

While going outside hasn’t been an option lately, we’ve been fighting for ways to not lose stride away from the gym, beaches and our beloved hiking trails. Let’s face it – At times like this, the effort for motivation is especially strenuous. Just how are you supposed to persuade yourself to get off the couch when life already feels so off track?
For some, it’s a little psychological push from an app like Noom. Maybe it’s finding a new workout regimen that targets all of your stubborn areas. Or perhaps, what you really need is an outfit that makes you look as good as you want to feel.
No matter what serves as your catalyst to action, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite fitness classes, subscriptions, gear and activewear to help inspire your routine.
