How to Look Cool While Getting Fit

If your gym style consists of an old t-shirt and leggings that have seen better days, it’s probably time to experiment with a new look! Athleisure combines style with comfort to enhance your performance and keep you feeling cool while you’re working up a sweat. To start building your workout wardrobe, take a look at these must-have pieces from P.E. Nation for looking cool while getting fit:

1. Technical Leggings

Providing you with added support and streamlining your silhouette, technical leggings don’t just enhance your look; they keep you comfortable and allow you to push yourself to the max. Try the P.E. Nation In Play Leggings with contrasting panelling for a subtle yet sophisticated look or the Charcoal Redefine Leggings with contrasting panelling in dark grey, silver and gold tones. Alternatively, rock the P.E. Nation Midnight Navy Outline Leggings to set the tone for a serious workout. Colour block panelling, combined with a high-rise waist and matte finish, ensure complete comfort and effortless style.

2. Vests and Tees

Vests and tees are essential for any workout wardrobe, but you don’t have to slack when it comes to athletic-inspired fashion. Simple yet chic, the P.E. Nation Heads Up S/s T Shirt in Midnight Navy or Gray Dawn is easy to wear and super-comfy. What’s more – the branded design makes it easy to pair the Heads-Up Tee with a wide range of athleisurewear, so you’ll never have an excuse to skip the gym again!

If you want to make a bolder statement, the P.E. Nation Golden Sand In Play S/s T Shirt is exactly what you’re looking for. With a branded tab on the chest and branded neon print on the reverse, you can embrace the latest trends as you hit your fitness goals. If you prefer a sleeveless tee when you’re lifting weights or training for a marathon, Golden Sand Shuffle Tank Top, fits the bill with a crew neck and unfinished hem for a casual look.

3. Sports Bras

No matter what your workout routine entails, a sports bra is an essential piece of kit. With a scoop neck, colour block design, branded elasticated waist and gold tone hardware, the P.E. Nation Left Field Sports Bra looks as good as it feels. If you prefer a longer line, the Full Count Sports Bra, also by P.E. Nation, features criss-cross straps, V-neck and elasticated lining, along with a discreet logo on the reverse for subtle styling.

4. Sweaters and Hoodies

If you’re heading out for an early morning run, you’ll want sweaters and hoodies that can keep you warm without overheating. Similarly, having a sweater to hand for the post-gym journey home will keep your muscles warm and help to reduce the risk of injuries.

Luckily, P.E. Nation have got you covered with the pure organic Heads Up Sweatshirt. With a relaxed fit, long sleeves, ribbed trim and front logo, it’s easy to amp up your workout style with an easy-to-wear sweater. Opt for the Gray Dawn Heads Up Sweatshirt for understated style or make a statement with Paloma Pink if you want to turn heads.

5. Caps and Headwear

If you don’t usually wear a cap or bandana when you’re working out, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. Avoid flyaway hair from getting in your way, stop beads of sweat rolling down your forehead and keep the sun out of your eyes when you’re exercising outside with a cap or bandana.

Both the P.E. Nation Black Frontside Cap and the Paloma Pink Nation Courtside Cap feature six panels, an embroidered front design and curved peak, so you can look as good as you feel when you’re boosting your fitness.

7. Shorts

Staying cool should be a top priority when you’re at the gym, playing tennis or pounding the pavements racking up the miles and P.E. Nation’s Back In Play Shorts offer versatility and super-cool design. The lightweight material and a relaxed fit ensure you’ll stay comfortable, while striped detailing on the righthand side and printed branding elevate your look.
