Now that the weather hot and sunny, exercising has become even more of a sweat. So what’s the best way to stay (and look) cool when working out this summer? Below are the top must-haves when it comes summertime activewear so that you can look stylish without feeling overheated.

Flyknit Running Shoes

Breathable footwear is a must when working out in the summer heat. Colorful (we’re talking bright, neon shades) flyknit running shoes are super light, trendy, and are the perfect remedy so that your toes don’t get too toasty.

Strappy Tops

Don’t be shy to show some skin. Try a fitted workout top that’s embellished with trendy criss-cross straps or even creative cutouts. Or, try a sporty bralette or athletic croptop (just pair with some high-waisted leggings so you don't feel too overexposed). These detailed tops will keep you cool and looking fashionable.

Patterned Bottoms

Whether it’s shorts, capris, or leggings, bold patterns are all the rage. Opt for a pair in a breathable compression fabric to beat the heat. Loud florals, geometric patterns, and neon colors are truly dominating the activewear scene this season, so don’t be afraid to pick something really bold. Mesh and cutout details along the leg are also a popular new look, and will add a little more ventilation to your ensemble.

Why not stay active and look chic while you sweat? After all, a workout outfit you feel comfortable and confident in will make your exercise routine all the more enjoyable.
