The Workout Gear That Takes You From Gym to Brunch in Style

As the weather gets colder, we all want to bundle up more and workout less. Don’t worry, I get it (I even mention it in my first ever vlog! Watch it here). It’s hard to motivate yourself to get up and get going when all you want is some hot chocolate and a warm blanket. I find that the best way to motivate myself to get sweating is when I have cute workout clothes! When I look good, I feel good, and when I feel good I feel way more motivated to stay active and be fit! I have to admit that when we took these photos I was not happy with where my body was. We had just come back from vacation and I hadn’t worked out in a little while but putting this outfit on made me feel better and more motivated to get fit again!

Just when my aversion to working out was starting to set in, I discovered Myriad Activewear. Based in India (love representing a brand from my home!), Myriad is making waves in the athleisure scene. I loved the use of color block and straps to create workout wear that is cute and stylish. It’s so cute, you can’t help but want to show it off! The sports bra is very sporty chic with the yellow and white colors, and the graphic straps coming down. The tights match perfectly and the burst of color is exactly what our monochrome autumn wardrobes need!

What I love most about Myriad, is that it’s the easiest gym wear to take from work out to brunch! The whole line focuses not only on stylish clothing you can wear to the gym but also for life. This adorable denim dress was the perfect piece to slip on over my white mesh crop top. I was ready to go from workout to brunch in a matter of seconds! Any outfit that gets you from one place to another and does it in style is a winner in my books! Plus the ease of the clothing made working out and keeping up with my day so much more manageable!

Workout Wonder; looking good but feeling it too…

The gym and I have always had a very bittersweet relationship. More bitter than sweet to be honest. I’m not a regular gym goer but I am a regular when it comes to working out. My workout means a lot to me because it makes me feel good, it makes me feel strong and it makes me feel healthy. I find that one of the things that motivate me to get to my workout is when I have cute workout clothes! I always feel so much better when I know I look good too. Whether it’s cute workout leggings or an adorable gym outfit, I always feel that much more confident to get moving! After all, when you feel good about how you’re looking while you exercise, you feel better in general about it too! I love shopping for cute gym outfits and the more I workout, the more I find myself asking what to wear to the gym! One of my main sources of inspiration is the ever stylish Aanya. Aanya is one of the fiercest spin instructors at Psycle London and she also happens to be a dear friend of mine. She’s always my go-to when I want to find adorable new fitness brands and she’s here on TSS today to tell you about what she does to look and feel good when she’s exercising! Scroll down for more!

What are your favourite brands for cute workout gear?

How do you inject style into your gym wear?

My style is simple, pieces that can be thrown together, but with a bit of an edge. So my go to for workout gear would be a cool printed, metallic or mesh pair of leggings with simple sweaters or sporty jackets, based on where I am and what I’m doing during the day

What’s on your gym playlist right now?

What’s your favourite gym hairstyle?

Id say a high ponytail or braid- I like to focus on my workout and give it everything- be it whether I’m teaching or at the gym- so don’t like any hair getting in the way

What makes you feel good when you workout?

What makes me feel good is seeing my progress, if I’ve got stronger, if I can run faster, if I can lift a heavier weight than last time. It’s also the endorphins and the incredible things it does for my stress amidst the many lab reports, exams and dissertations I have! Excercise is my mediation, my time to let go and think with a clear mind, and it feels great to achieve both small and major goals I set for myself
