Back last November I wrote a post about my favorite Winter/Cold Weather workout wear and decided that I needed a summer workout wear post to go along with it. In the winter I am all about layers, and in the summer I have a very “less is more” approach.
Summer Workout Wear
My first must for summer workout wear are cute shorts. I picked up these Ivy Park shorts earlier this summer and they are great for more low key workouts or just lounging. Target shorts are another huge staple for me. I usually grab a few pairs each summer. While they are cute, they don’t last the test of time. After a summer they are pretty worn. My all time favorite shorts to workout in are tracker shorts from Lululemon. I have about 8 pairs of them from the last several years and they last. My black ones I have had for maybe 5 years and they look brand new. My secret? Don’t dry them! Hang dry them.
As far as tops go, I love Yogi tops from Lululemon and Zella tanks from Nordstrom. There are a TON of Zella tanks on sale right now, so make sure to check it out. I’m talking less than $20! I also love workout tops from Target. You can find some really cute ones for very inexpensive. For sports bras I either do Lululemon Energy bras or these Zella sports bras from Norstrom. Even though it can be hot in the summer, when I leave the gym or a workout class I sometimes go meet a friend for lunch or coffee or run errands. Going indoors I know anywhere I go will be freezing! I tend to always keep a pullover in my car just in case.
A few other staples are my favorite Nike’s the Juvenates. I have 3 pairs. It may be a bit excessive. I also love Lululemon headbands and S’well bottles.
I would love to know what your summer workout wear staples are!
Oh I love the blue shorts, stylish but still practical for workouts!
I love how those shorts have a wide waist band, need to look into those!
Loving the picks, Neely! I just spent some money on new Nike sneakers and Under Armour shorts (because if you spend money on cute workout clothes, you’ll work out more, right? haha!) Lovely post!
I love all of these!! New workout clothes always inspires me to ACTUALLY go and workout!
Love the S’well bottles! And any tope with cool / cute sayings are the best for working out!
I’ve been hearing such good things about the Swell bottles!
I love the sports bra and Swell bottle. I just love cute work out clothes in general. I have a ton of Under Armour but if it’s cute and functional, i’ll buy it!
I keep hearing great things about lululemon’s workout gear. I’ll have to try out some of their clothes!
I usually just wear comfy pants and a tank top. I need to start looking for more durable wear though as I just signed up for a 10K and need to workout more. You have great choices and I am going to see if they also have plus sizes.
A good flowy tank is the best for hot Texas summers! Love this roundup!

When Fabletics have sales I stock up on their tops and leggings! I usually love Old Navy workout gear too. Cute clothes make workouts so much more fun!

I love the blue tank! And S’well bottles are the best. Most of my workout gear is from Old Navy and Nike!
Nice picks! Having great workout clothes/shoes always helps me get into the swing of things!
Love all of these, especially that sports bra!I just bought all these cute new workout clothes, but they’re mostly for running errands 😉
LOVE that sports bra…what brand is it? I also love those Zella tops; I clicked the link and there were great colors and shapes to choose from.
These are great picks for Summer workout gear, love it! They look like you would be super comfy and not super sweaty wearing these picks!
Loving all of your choices. I need some new workout clothes.
I love all those tops! And the patterned shorts are cute too. I definitely need more shorts to work out in!

My daughter chooses many of the same brands you do. She loves Lululemon and she always seems to score great deals there.
Great choices! I love anything from Lululemon, especially the times I can get hot deals. My Swell water bottle is almost too good. The ice never melts!
I need that sports bra. I’m always 1000x more motivated to work out if I look cute doing it.
Love the red worth it tank! A good workout outfit is key for motivation.

The turquoise tank is my fave! OBSESSED with all of these!
I need to get some new workout gear.

I don’t workout but these look like some cute picks.
I basically live in workout clothes, since I freelance write and edit full time. I can transition from the home office to my yoga mat or gym so easily. Thanks for sharing!
Loving your selections!!! I just bought a few new sports bras last week!
I have always been obsessed with Nordy’s awesome workout gear! When I worked there I swear I spent all m y paychecks there… and in handbags!
Love your picks… particularly that chic pullover! So fun!

These are some awesome picks. I think that my favourite is the top left blue long tank. It’s beautiful plus very airy… so need that when working out. I think I’d work out more if I didn’t sweat as much. Lol
I LOVE those shoes. I’m always looking for cute workout shoes, since I tend to live in them a lot!
I love all of these! These makes me motivate more to do workout everyday!
These are super cute finds. I’m dying to get something from Ivy Park. I also love that “if it’s worth it, work for it” tank top.

I’ve only heard good things about those Swell bottles. Love all their designs as well.
I have a lot of workout clothes, but lacking in the tank department – definitely need a few.
Love the ones you shared !
I’m obsessed with workout gear! And those shorts… get in my closet now please, haha!
Keep Smiling!
