Whether you live in workout clothes or occasionally throw on a pair of leggings, there's no denying the comfort and ease of activewear. Sure, black leggings, sports bras, and athletic shorts aren't exactly "fashion staples", but they are core pieces in any workout wardrobe and go-to's when the main goal of an outfit is comfort. So, when figuring how to wear workout clothes both for casual and dressy occasions, there are a few key styling tips to know when you want to look put together. Now, there are plenty of naysayers who consider any trace of activewear in an outfit to be lazy or worse, sloppy (I, for the record, am not one of those people and cherish my assortment of ultra-soft leggings). But thanks to the consistency of athelisure in fashion, styling these made-for-the-gym pieces is becoming par for the course (take the bike short trend as a prime example), especially for off-duty occasions like the weekend. And there's nothing we love more than comfy-cute looks on Saturdays and Sundays. So, in the spirit of fresh outfit ideas that are both comfortable and stylish, ahead, we're breaking down nine fun formulas that centre around workout attire like leggings, sports bras, and bike shorts. From chic basics styled head to toe to quirkier combos á la the street style set, we're pretty darn certain you'll be inspired to take your favourite piece of activewear for a spin ASAP. 1 How to Style Workout Clothes: Leggings + T-shirt + Jacket + Sneakers Image Source: Getty / Edward Berthelot Tone down the effect of printed leggings by mixing in simple pieces that feel cohesive with your chosen motif. 2 Shop The Look Image Source: target.com JoyLab Camo Print 7/8 High-Waisted Leggings ($35) JoyLab Camo Print 7/8 High-Waisted Leggings $35 from target.com Buy Now 3 Shop The Look Image Source: kohls.com POPSUGAR Babydoll Swing Tee ($22, originally $30) POPSUGAR Babydoll Swing Tee $22 from kohls.com Buy Now 4 Shop The Look Image Source: frame-store.com Frame Bishop Suede Jacket ($537, originally $895 ) Frame Bishop Suede Jacket $537 from frame-store.com Buy Now 5 Shop The Look Image Source: farfetch.com Brandblack Chunky Low Top Sneakers ($373) Brandblack Chunky Low Top Sneakers $373 from farfetch.com Buy Now 6 Shop The Look Image Source: imago-a.com Imago-a Nº44 Lucite Buckle Mini Bag ($345) Imago-a Nº44 Lucite Buckle Mini Bag $345 from imago-a.com Buy Now 7 How to Style Workout Clothes: Leggings + T-shirt + Trench Coat + Sneakers Image Source: Getty / Christian Vierig When running errands, a printed pair of leggings feels fun and functional in combination with a white t-shirt and classic trench coat. 8 Shop The Look Image Source: kohls.com POPSUGAR Ruffle-Sleeve Tee ($22, originally $30) POPSUGAR Ruffle-Sleeve Tee $22 from kohls.com Buy Now 9 Shop The Look Image Source: outdoorvoices.com Outdoor Voices 3/4 Flex Leggings ($75) Outdoor Voices 3/4 Flex Leggings $75 from outdoorvoices.com Buy Now 10 Shop The Look Image Source: shopbop.com Le Specs Beautiful Stranger Sunglasses ($79) Le Specs Beautiful Stranger Sunglasses $79 from shopbop.com Buy Now 11 Shop The Look Image Source: massimodutti.com Massimo Dutti Classic Cotton Trench Coat ($250) Massimo Dutti Classic Cotton Trench Coat $250 from massimodutti.com Buy Now 12 Shop The Look Image Source: shopbop.com Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Sneakers ($65) Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Sneakers $65 from shopbop.com Buy Now 13 Shop The Look Image Source: bloomingdales.com Furla Alba Large Leather Tote ($448) Furla Alba Large Leather Tote $448 from bloomingdales.com Buy Now 14 How to Style Workout Clothes: Bike Shorts + Sports Bra + Jacket + Boots Image Source: Getty / Edward Berthelot Take a sports bra-and-shorts set for a spin outside the gym by layering a lightweight jacket over top and finishing with combat boots for a '90s grunge finish. 15 Shop The Look Image Source: thereformation.com Girlfriend Collective Paloma Bra ($38) Girlfriend Collective Paloma Bra $38 from thereformation.com Buy Now 16 Shop The Look Image Source: thereformation.com Girlfriend Collective Bike Short ($48) Girlfriend Collective Bike Short $48 from thereformation.com Buy Now 17 Shop The Look Image Source: kohls.com POPSUGAR Denim Cropped Jacket ($26, originally $64) POPSUGAR Denim Cropped Jacket $26 from kohls.com Buy Now Advertiser content from Kohl's 18 Shop The Look Image Source: kohls.com Madden NYC Keen Combat Boots ($65, originally $70) Madden NYC Keen Combat Boots $65 from kohls.com Buy Now 19 Shop The Look Image Source: cuyana.com Cuyana Classic Structured Leather Tote ($195) Cuyana Classic Structured Leather Tote $195 from cuyana.com Buy Now 20 Shop The Look Image Source: shopbop.com Le Specs x Adam Selman The Last Lolita Sunglasses ($119) Le Specs x Adam Selman The Last Lolita Sunglasses $119 from shopbop.com Buy Now 21 How to Style Workout Clothes: Leggings + T-shirt + Jacket + Heels View this post on Instagram Always a juxtaposition, my style makes me feel powerful its free it’s important to me that I feel like myself!
