For the girl on-the-go, here’s some inspiration for how to perfect your active style for the gym, court, or road
Trust us, there’s nothing wrong with relying on the classics. Sometimes, all you need is a sports bra and a pair of shorts and you’re good to go. But some of us need to dress it up in order to stay motivated. After all, how could we back out of our gym session if we’re already dressed to the tee? The confidence boost you get from looking and feeling good definitely plays a role, too, especially if your workout takes place outdoors.

For inspiration, we rounded up five influencers and models whose active style we think is ace. Have fun, experiment, and find what feels most comfortable for you starting from here!
Julia Barretto

As Julia Barretto told MEGA Active, her personal style for her downtime heavily leans toward what’s classic, basic, and comfortable. But you can still dress it up a smidge using sensible yet unique silhouettes. The star of this look is the biker-length unitard Julia’s sporting. Pair it with sunglasses like the ones Julia’s wearing from her brand, The Juju Club, and you’re all set for your hot girl walk!

Model and content creator Rachel Tee Tyler is another great fitness influencer. Her gym outfits are all cool, but this colorful ensemble is a personal favorite. She’s wearing a tennis skirt from Alo Yoga, a bolero from Crop Shop Boutique, and shoes from Asics.
Ahnesti Monet McMichael
One easy way to pull off looking put-together is by wearing monochromatic coordinates. This is where content creator Monet McMichael shines best. When it comes to fitness, she doesn’t slack, and—from what we’ve seen—her style game doesn’t either. Here, she wears a full Oner Active outfit in the color Deep Taupe.

We swear by tennis silhouettes being the perfect all-around gym wear. Influencer Pat Cortez sports the latest tennis-inspired collaboration between Lacoste and Sporty & Rich. Specifically, she’s wearing the Lacoste x Sporty & Rich Stretch T-shirt and Lacoste x Sporty & Rich Zipped Stripe Sweatshirt, which are all nods to Lacoste’s 70s and 80s archival pieces.
Flossybaby

Last but not least is Juliana “Jay” Olaleye, better known as Flossybaby on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. She frequently wears pastel hues to her pilates sessions and our favorite outfits are those in all baby pinks or all baby blues. She proves that you can easily elevate a classic gym outfit through deliberate choices in color and accessories, such as headbands and pink ribbons braided into your pigtails.
