Summer Workout Wear

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!

  9. 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.

    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

  40. 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 !
