It’s finally getting warmer which is a good thing for my motivation ot work out (lol). I love working out in the summer months. This is also the time of year when I start running again. It’s just so nice to be outside and getting fresh air. Here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s so mild that you never get too warm working out outside.
So in that spirit, here is some new workout gear specifically for your summer workouts. I already have several of these in my virtual shopping cart.
Summer Workout Gear to Keep You Cool
Biker Shorts
I’ve finally caved and bought into the bike short trend. Not for fashion sake but because they are great for warm-weather workouts. These bike shorts from the Aerie Offline collection are so soft, they can totally pass for the Lululemon Align shorts but for half the price. For more high-impact workouts, I’ve tried these Amazon shorts, which are nice. I’m also interested in trying these shorts from Girlfriend Collective.
Workout Tanks
I have purchased a couple of these Amazon tanks and they are amazing! 7,000+ reviews on Amazon amazing. So soft and people say they are a perfect alternative to the Lululemon Align tank.
Tennis Skirts and Skorts
Last summer I rediscovered my love for skorts. These tennis skirts are great if you want to work out then run errands without looking like you were just at the gym. I’d wear mine for casual days as well. This year there are a lot more options to choose from like these from Girlfriend Collective which have matching tops and bras but I like these ones from Outdoor Voices.
Workout Dresses
The tennis dress or workout dress is going to be the hot new trend for the summer. This Outdoor Voices dress specifically because they have a shelf bra and shorts built-in.
Baseball Hat
Don’t forget your sun protection this summer. I always like to wear a baseball hat during my summer runs to give my face some extra sun protection. Both Andrew and I have this one from Adidas and it has SPF baked into the fabric.
These are the softest fabric ever! It feels like the Lululemon Align fabric. I love these for yoga or low-impact workouts.
They also come in a legging.
This brand is getting a lot of hype on social media mainly because of its cute prints. Really fashion-forward workout gear
These bike shorts are made for high-intensity workouts. They don’t ride up your legs and give extra compression.
Here is the skort from Girlfriend Collective. I love that you can get matching sets in almost everything they make.
Here’s their #1 Paloma longline bra. As you can see the colors all match so you can build your own workout sets.
Bonus, Girlfriend Collective is a more sustainable brand that uses recycled materials in their clothes.
Here’s a new style bra from Girlfriend Collective that is so cute! I like the square neckline.
Skorts are my go-to for the summer months. I love these ones from Outdoor Voices.
Here’s a different style of skort from Outdoor Voices specifically for tennis.
This workout dress will be the hottest item this summer. It has built in shorts so no need to worry about coverage.
Amazon has some AMAZING workout gear. These tanks are very similar to the Lululemon Align tanks.
I also really like this Amazon tank for low-impact workouts.
This loosely twisted crop tank from Old Navy constantly sells out. They have brought it back again this summer!
Don’t forget a baseball hat to protect your face from UV rays.
