Do you wear your gym clothes to places other than the gym?
user
Thanks to some very kind public-relations
folks, I'm never at a loss for workout pants. But a pair I love?
Well, that's been a little bit harder to come by. Right now these
Energy flares from Brooks are my favorites. These pants have done
something no other piece of workout apparel has: They've made their
way into my out-of-the-gym wardrobe. I wear them to fly, to hike,
and even to weekend brunches. Don't get me wrong, they're still
fabulous for the gym. They feel super-soft, dry quickly, and they
don't cling to my butt or thighs.
Tell me: What one workout item are you wearing non-stop
lately?

No.
It takes the fun out of working out. But Either way I'm too swaety to go anywhere after my work out...Gotta shower up.
I do have some kick a** pants and they fit very nicely, but I'm not particular of wearing them outside the gym.
That's just me. Although I wear hoddies with jeans.
But I like the pants in this article, mine have to be petite, if not I look like a little clown. They drag for miles if not LOL!!!!

I love yoga pants. They are comfy and flattering. I wear them grocery shopping, running errands, and as my "house pants".

I wear the cute yoga pants with a tee and some nikes, but I also don't go to the gym so I'm not typically wearing gym clothes lol.
They are just pants to me.

I also wear my yoga pants to and from class (I'm a teacher). They're called "Easy Pant" and I bought them online from GAIAM. So comfy and they don't cling. I used to wear yoga tights and would put a wrap-around long skirt over them when I was travelling to and from class, but I much prefer the easy pants!

I agree that the yoga pant is the ultimate cross-over item. BUT, I recently bought my first pair of Nike Tempo running shorts - and they are seriously the most comfortable article of clothing I have ever owned! My friends tease me that they are my uniform for life. I wear them running as intended, but also hiking, after swimming, around the house, to mow the yard, to football games (it's HOT here in the south). They aren't dressy enough to be "wardrobe worthy" but they are a great item! And come in about 20 different colors.

I wear them sometimes, when I want to wear something comfy -- something free from zippers.

I would recommend Nike Perfect Fit capris, they feel form fitting, but loose. The lycra cotton blend keeps everything in place, but then, thats one of the reasons we workout, right ladies?

well coming from a guys point of view, its very attractive when women wear gym clothes out in public. (just for your info! LOL) but on the other hand, being a guy i tend to not wear gym clothes out in public, i will sometimes wear my under armor pants and a hoodie when me and the wife go grocery shopping, but thats pretty much it. beacuse honestly the guys that wear full on gym clothes every where they go, they do that to impress the lady's. half the time they dont even work out, they just want people to think they do.LOL

Sure do all the time. I wear my belly dance pants to work and to sleep in. They look like yoga pants so who cares.

I don't mix workout wear with outside life. I feel people who do don't workout and think if they dress the part, that means they do it. Yoga pants are comfy, but they belong in the gym or just at home.
