Spring has sprung, fresh air and sunshine are calling us, and it’s time to take our workouts outdoors. Whether you’re running, biking, climbing, yoga-ing or doing Crossfit, you need the right gear to fit both your taste and your sport. We picked out 22 awesome pieces of spring workout gear that boast practical purposes and bold patterns, and we’re sure they’ll help you get pumped to get your fitness on.
1. All-in-One Tank ($59): Keep it simple with this open-air top. It takes the work out of finding a sports bra and a tank, and puts the two together!
2. 1/4 Zip Spacedye Pullover ($40): Training for the Susan G. Komen Marathon For the Cure? Wear the color in support of breast cancer research while training for race day.
3. Camelbak Groove ($20): Camelbak has not only created a sturdy water bottle in a killer bright color, they’ve also included a filter inside to make sure you are drinking clean water all throughout your workout.
4. Reversible Compression Cami Bra ($15): Even if we’re not all toned enough to hit up the gym in just a sports bra and shorts, that doesn’t mean we can’t be rocking sweet patterns underneath the rest of our gear.
5. Pace Setter Skirt ($58): Running skirts — they’re a thing.
6. Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit ($140): These sneaks are pretty much the closest Nike can get you to running barefoot. They boast the comfort of your favorite socks, so maybe save them for bar class.
7. Geo Diamond Crop Leggings ($78): The arrival of geo patterns into the fashion world was amazing. Now you can sport them for your workouts, too.
8. Spibelt ($20): We know, this might remind you of the ever-popular fanny pack. But we assure you it’s so much more! It’s the perfect size to hold your phone, a key and a credit card, and it’s super minimalist style goes easily unnoticed under a workout top.
9. Make It Happen Tri-Blend V-Neck ($25): Just a simple reminder… this tee will never let you off the hook.
10. Asana Yoga Mat Bag ($88): We’re digging this pattern so much, we wish there was a matching Aztec tote too!
