Just because you love to get your sweat on doesn’t mean you have to overcomplicate your life — and workout wardrobe. (And it’s like, soooomuch laundry.)

As with your day-to-day ensembles, a capsule wardrobe can work for your workout gear, making it easy to pair pieces and keep things simple and timeless. Hey, we know you have lots of other things to worry about. Picking out cute and coordinating outfits for the gym shouldn’t be one of them.

Here’s our guide for creating a seasonally functional, beautifully minimalist workout wardrobe that maximizes your time, $$$, closet space (and sanity!) while still keeping you looking and feeling good.

 

Simplify

Donate or toss those old, ratty sports bras or ill-fitting t-shirts gathering dust in the back of your closet. Make room for a carefully-curated selection of versatile pieces that make you feel good — and pair well with various outfits. 

 Starting with a clean slate will help you visualize your ideal capsule of high-quality outfit options. Take stock of what you have and what gaps you need to fill for a functional and stylish workout wardrobe.

 

Identify Key Pieces

Start with a few pieces in each category, like bras, tops, bottoms, outerwear, for each season.

 

Layer

Build around these core functional, foundational pieces by adding versatile layering options. With tons of style options and unique-to-you hues, building a capsule collection is easy to do with Albion Fit.
