From the gym to brunch with the right outfit

Translation: machine translated
Want to go to the gym quickly after coffee with your girlfriend or straight to brunch after a workout? No problem with these sports clothes.
I used to be a sports muffle. As I knew that I wouldn't be able to train for more than two months, I didn't make any effort when it came to my outfit. In other words, I wore whatever worn-out pieces my wardrobe had to offer, even though I'm a spender when it comes to my everyday clothes. I also didn't like sportswear per se.
I am all the more pleased about the turnaround that has taken place: sports manufacturers and young brands are designing beautiful training clothes that you and I want to wear away from the gym, in the office or in a café without being looked at askew. [[image:18521258,18521259]] [[small:]]
I now get restless if I don't work out regularly. Whether that's because of my new workout, my sports mates or my (now) pretty sportswear remains to be seen. I'll show you pieces that are far too good for training alone.
Leggings
Yes, I also practically only wear black models as they visually model the legs. The same applies to leggings in muted plain colours such as navy, dark grey, wine red or khaki green. A high waistband will at least visually minimise the appearance of any excess weight on your hips or tummy. The slimmer you are, the brighter the colour or pattern can be.

Tops
If you are unhappy with your legs, I recommend a top in a statement colour. This will draw attention to yourself and distract from your problem areas. If you want to emphasise your waist, the cut can be figure-hugging. Wide tops - not tents - make you look slimmer when you wear leggings. This is not the case in combination with wide jogging trousers. [[product:8861253,7235179,9017862]]
Sports bra
If you wear your bralette as a top, you either need a lot of self-confidence or a flat stomach. Alternatively, you can wear a zipped hooded jacket over it to conceal your waistline. [[product:8001544,10157608,7479122]]
Hoodie
This comfy hoodie is not just for lazy days on the sofa, but is also suitable for the street. Combined with skinny trousers and a coat, the look is casual and anything but scruffy. If you have a large bust, I recommend a style made from a thin material such as jersey. You can find more on the topic of hoodies here

Sports shoes
The right trainers can be real game changers. With a trendy colour or an eye-catching pattern, they distract from any problem areas. That's what we all want, especially when we're not at the gym 😉.

Accessories
The same applies here: choosing the right accessories makes the outfit complete. A sports bag and watch, as well as a water bottle - not made of plastic, please - are essential for training and also look good outside the gym. [[product:8341370,6564072,9662065]]
