Workout clothes for me consist of yoga pants, Nike shorts, and driFit T-shirts. My workout clothes are the most comfortable attire that I own, so it&#8217;s hard to resist not wearing them outside of the gym.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-81330\" title=\"yoga clothes\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/yoga-clothes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/yoga-clothes.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/yoga-clothes-270x300.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But, there are times when I go overboard when it comes to wearing my workout clothes. It&#8217;s just become a <strong><a title=\"yoga pants fashion\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/06\/yoga-pants-for-brunch-and-errands-blame-the-fashion-designers\/\">social norm to wear workout clothes when you&#8217;re out running errands<\/a><\/strong>. Although, I can look like a hot mess in my workout clothes sometimes, it possible to look a little nicer while doing so. Stephanie Mansour, CEO of Step It Up with Steph, offered DIR readers some tips on how to dress up workout clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Ladies, learn how to accessorize and coordinate your workout clothes to make sure you don&#8217;t look like a hot mess!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add Color<\/strong>. DIR mentioned before that many clothing brands have <strong><a title=\"neon workout clothes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/neon-colors-brighten-fitness-attire-and-workouts-this-summer\/\">workout clothes in neon colors<\/a><\/strong>. Most workout clothes come in black or gray. So, if you are wearing black pants and a black jacket, wear a bright neon shirt to bring a pop of color into your wardrobe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dress Up with Jewelry<\/strong>. Wearing jewelry can help you accessorize just about any piece of clothing, and it&#8217;s acceptable with workout clothes as well. Steph mentions that wearing earrings, a watch, ring, or even a necklace is acceptable when it comes to dressing up your workout clothes.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Kick on Lighter Kicks<\/strong>. Wearing running shoes that aren&#8217;t big and bulky will decrease the chances of you looking like a gym rat when you aren&#8217;t in the gym. Nike Frees and Puma running shoes are petite and they mesh well with<strong> <a title=\"yoga fashion\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/09\/the-hottest-trends-in-yoga-fashion\/\">yoga pants<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kick on Your Boots<\/strong>. Yoga pants that are similar to leggings can be worn with flat heeled boots during the winter. You can also wear yoga leggings with flats as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Show Some Skin<\/strong>. You can also wear an off-the-shoulder sweater under tanks with yoga pants. These sweaters aren&#8217;t the only type of sweater you can wear with workout clothes. Steph adds, &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen my friends wear cardigans and cotton sweaters with their yoga pants, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Save Face<\/strong>. The last tip we have is that you can wear a little bit of make-up like foundation, bronzer, blush, and mascara. Even though you have workout clothes on, with a little bit of make-up you&#8217;ll look more put together and your appearance comes across as planned, not pressed for time.<\/p>\n<p>Steph told us, &#8220;Even though I am training clients, I still want to look put together and polished.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hold Your Head High<\/strong>. If you&#8217;re really not going to the gym, then taking a few minutes to do something cute and fun with your hair will also help pull together your whole look. A simple braid, messy bun, or even long, flowing curls will ensure you don&#8217;t look like you just left a spin class.<\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s society, wearing workout clothes doesn&#8217;t always mean you are about to go to the gym to sweat. You can dress up your <strong><a title=\"yoga pants fashion\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/06\/yoga-pants-for-brunch-and-errands-blame-the-fashion-designers\/\">workout clothes when you are out running errands<\/a><\/strong> or if you just want to look cute in some comfy yoga pants and a workout tee. Hopefully these tips will help you look and feel more put together in your casual gym attire.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"kristi yamaguchi tsu.ya\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/09\/kristi-yamaguchis-new-fitness-apparel-created-with-busy-moms-in-mind\/\">Kristi Yamaguchi&#8217;s New Fitness Apparel Created for Busy Moms<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"cupcake chapstick\" href=\"http:\/\/fitbottomedmamas.com\/2013\/02\/best-chapstick-ever-its-hard-to-beat-cupcake-flavors\/\" target=\"_blank\">Best Chapstick Ever: Cupcake Flavor<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"food for hair\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/08\/feed-your-hair-with-real-food-for-better-hair-days\/\">Feed Your Hair with Real Food for Better Hair Days<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0image via zobha.com<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was on Pinterest the other day and I saw an e-card that read, &#8220;None of my yoga pants have ever been to yoga.&#8221; I giggled to myself because I am guilty of wearing workout clothes when I am not &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/7-simple-and-stylish-ways-to-dress-up-your-workout-clothes\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[1046,1101,9984,30],"class_list":["post-81322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-womens-health","tag-beauty","tag-fashion","tag-stephanie-mansour","tag-yoga"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=81322"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81328,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81322\/revisions\/81328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=81322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=81322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=81322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
