For fashionable fitness addicts who have returned to the gym this winter, it may be a sartorial challenge to channel your inner trendsetter as you sweat your way to your fitness goals. Luckily, updating your athletic wardrobe with comfortable yet chic workout wear can leave you feeling energized. Whether you’re looking for a perfect fitness tank or a new bag, we’ve curated our five favourite gym essentials to sport now.

1) Zella ‘Racer’ Tank, $38: If you’re currently rocking a cotton T-shirt at the gym, you may want to update your go-to exercise top for a more stylish alternative. This girlish tank top makes a splash with its racerback design, pale pink hue and slightly longer length.

2) ONZIE Graphic Long Leggings, $110: If you’re tired of wearing those everyday black leggings to your yoga class, try swapping your unadorned legwear for funky, eye-catching abstract patterns. We are liking the vivid blue, orange and pink designs on these graphic print leggings. Meanwhile, the athletic material claims to wick away moisture during a heart-pounding session of exercise.

3) Athleta Super Impose Hope Jacket 2, $118: The look of a trendy warm-up jacket can instantly inject style into your sporty wardrobe. This navy blue zippered jacket from Athleta is accented with a playful floral print. With florals reigning supreme on the season’s runways, bringing fresh blooms into your gym wardrobe can help you maintain your reputation as a fit fashionista.

4) NIKE Air Max Thea Printed Sneakers, $130: Although the idea of rocking running shoes may bring you back to high school gym class, your footwear statement for your next aerobics workout can be surprisingly chic. Try stepping out in these dark pink, white and orange Nike sneakers. The dainty pink laces, chunky white soles and cool print will help to revive your overall ensemble at the gym.

5) Vera Bradley Pink Sport Yoga Bag, $157: While your usual carryall for the gym may be a moody neutral hue, this ladylike pink yoga bag by Vera Bradley is a refreshing and colourful change. The bag features adjustable straps, multiple pockets and a subtle striped aesthetic.
