How to Look Good While Getting Working Out

Welcome to the busy season at the gym. Everyone is now gearing up and getting their bodies ready for the summer. Looking good at the gym usually isn't a standard for most of us, including myself, the comfort of an old shirt worn in shorts/sweatpants/yoga pants, and sneakers are the preferred look. Looking fab at the gym usually equates to not breaking a sweat. Well who's to say that this is true? Looking good at the gym doesn't mean going in all dolled up with make up on this can mean adding a fun top over a sports bra or bring in some season trends into your work out gear like floral prints or bright bold color pieces. These pieces don't have to be expensive but don't skimp out on good sporting sneakers especially if you're a runner. Luckily, brands like Nike and Adidas produce sneakers with style and comfort in mind.

Below are some of my favorite looks for the gym this season:
