It's true: the gear you're sporting can change your entire workout. We've partnered with Vanity Fair to share brightly colored pieces for any workout, style, and body type alike.
If you've recently hit a wall with your fitness routine, we have an idea of what you may be missing: colorful gear. Sure, rolling up to the gym, field, or workout class you love to hate in all black is an easy go-to, but suiting up in vibrant hues can do wonders for your mindset. No matter if you're a speedy runner or spinning superstar, these brightly colored workout pieces are sure to motivate you and win a spot in your closet. Read on to see the nine shades we're loving, inspired by our favorite bold hues.
