As the world reopens, people are heading back to the office and ditching their home workout routines for the gym. But, it can be hard to give up the luxury of wearing the same casual clothes all day long.
If you don’t want to exchange comfort for style or purchase separate work and gym clothes, there are plenty of options to serve both functions. Why not take advantage of them?
If you’re still primarily interacting with colleagues over Zoom, some stylish pullovers and shirts are ideal for either work or when exercising. However, if you’re headed back to the office, keep an eye out for shoes and pants that allow you to put your best foot forward in either environment.
Whether you bring a gym bag with a change of clothes or find a more professional work bag to serve the same function, you want to think ahead and give yourself options so you can remain comfortable in either environment.
Head from the office to the gym in this high-fashion, 100% nylon, slim-relaxed-fit, high-waisted pant. The non-rip fabric, smocked waistband and elasticized cuffs provide the utmost comfort and versatility.
