Once summer has come and gone, getting your fitness on erryday can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re the type that likes to get active outdoors. Cooler temps and dwindling daylight can totally throw a wrench in your workout routine — getting up when it’s dark or heading outdoors when you’re warm and cozy inside (with a Netflix marathon on, no less) is a trying task. To break down those lazy girl barriers and get your butt back in top gear, a little extra motivation is definitely in order — and we’ll take ours in the form of stylish fitness duds — high-octane pullovers, strappy sports bras and chic sneakers. If the bright hues and It-girl details don’t inspire you to get your sweat on, we don’t know what will.
1. Zara Hooded Mesh Jacket ($60): Don’t even try to deny the appeal of this sunny yellow stunner. Whether you’re headed to the studio or busting out your morning run, the bold color and modern styling delivers the punch of energy your tired routine needs.

3. Victoria Sport The Everywhere Capri ($50): Minimalists, rejoice! Scene-stealing workout duds don’t have to involve neon or too-sassy graphics. These color-block bottoms feel right in line with your pared-down sensibilities, with muted asymmetric panels delivering just the right amount of visual intrigue.
4. Free People Time Out Crop ($58): “It’s too cold” is no longer a valid excuse with this cool-girl crop on standby. Layer it over a tank and high-waisted leggings for an early morning sweat sesh or afternoon of hiking.
5. Athleta All Nylon Bag ($72): Tote or trusty backpack? You get to decide. With its clean lines and convertible shape, this wear-any-which-way sack will win you major style points at your next boot camp class. Fill it up with all your workout beauty essentials and proceed to hit the gym in style.

8. Free People Training Tank ($48): That back though. Criss-cross detailing and natural sweat-wicking performance material will keep you cool and looking fly during your toughest workouts — something we can totally get behind.
9. Zara Silver Shorts ($23): Minimalist, modern and downright DDG all rolled into one — that’s what these quicksilver shorts bring to the table. They’re the perfect match for a tough HIIT session or a tennis match with your best mate.
10. Victoria Sport High Neck Mesh Sport Bra ($20): Let your on-point style rule supreme as you crush those jump squats and pike-up planks. The semi-sheer style is just as practical as it is chic, making the transition from studio to street totally flawless.
11. FP Movement x Onzie Mantra Legging ($70): These printed mesh panel leggings are too good to keep stashed in your gym bag. Bust ‘em out with an oversized shirt dress, leather jacket and menswear-inspired kicks for an elevated athleisure look.

14. Silence + Noise Adeline Satin Track Pant ($69): These cropped bottoms pull serious double duty, doing your style proud both in and outside the studio. When you’re not dominating a squat challenge, slip them on with a rib knit turtleneck, statement ankle boots and an of-the-moment cross-body bag for an off-duty look that’s equal parts lazy-girl effortless and It-girl cool.

The unexpected style feels right on cue for a hip hop class or vigorous vinyasa flow, but we’re loving the idea of rocking this scene-stealing topper for our next GNO.
