8 Workout Pieces That Will Fuel Your Body Confidence — and Your Fitness Goals

You know what they say: two is better than one — and this tank top-sports bra hybrid ($25) is proof. Not only does a style like this take the potential stress out of suiting up for the gym, but it looks totally stylish thanks to the subtle color coordination between the outer tank and sports bra straps. This is what we like to call maximum impact, minimal effort.

When it comes to getting dressed on top, no clothing item is as trustworthy as a white T-shirt ($13). Versatile, neutral, and clean, it's the perfect trifecta of all that comprises a good basic. That's why it should come as no surprise that your gym wardrobe needs one, too! Whether you use it to balance out a pair of bold leggings, throw it over your sports bra pre- and post-spin class, or even pair it with denim on a day you just want to wear something breathable, the athletic fabric and familiar silhouette will have you radiating confidence and comfort.

With sleeveless, breezy cuts and breathable, sweat-wicking fabrics, you can never own too many workout tanks. But if your lineup is looking a bit blasé with overwhelmingly dark pieces or staple tops you've owned for half a decade, give it a colorful refresh by stocking up on bright or pastel variations, like a vibrant grape ($15). In addition to providing maximum mobility for any workout you may be doing, the fun shade can actually boost your mood at the gym.

Regardless of which way you choose to work up a sweat, wearing a sports bra is a definite must-do. It keeps everything supported and contained so you can focus on every stride, squat, or punch without distractions. Because it's such an essential piece, arming yourself with several options is key. We recommend choosing versatile shades like grey, black, or navy to easily pair with your other pieces. If you're not sure how intense your workout will be, a medium support sports bra with removable cups ($20) is a solid, worry-free choice.

If given the chance, we'd practically live in a pair of black leggings around the clock. But because black can start to feel like a mundane, safe option over time, we're challenging you to dial it back one notch in the color spectrum and try gray instead. Complemented by a high waist for maximum movement and laser cut mesh panels for a bit of added air flow, you'll be itching for an opportunity to step out in these leggings ($33).

As if the pretty print and mesh panels on this sports bra ($20) weren't enough, it's also part of a matching set. If you've been waiting for your chance to indulge in any of these three fitness gear trends, the time has come to try them . . . all at once! Best of all, this ventilated bra is seriously effective when it comes to staying confidently cool during your workout. With a criss-cross style back, it not only provides support for all of your favorite gym activities, but looks stylish when worn solo or under a tank.

As promised, this pair of capri leggings ($25) is adorned in the same pattern and mesh detailing as the matching sports bra. Beyond creating a two-piece ensemble you'll want to show off in the front row of your next group fitness class, the printed bottoms are made from a soft, stretchy fabric that can be worn to yoga or HIIT with ease. What's more? A handy pocket is hidden in the high waistband, so you can hit the hiking trails or run errands in them, too. No matter how you're staying active, these leggings have your back.

At this point, we can't remember if lavender or ultraviolet started trending first. But one thing we do know? They're both among this year's most coveted hues. If you're still searching for a way to get in on the colorful action without committing to a full-blown monochromatic street style ensemble, look no further than this two-tone sports bra ($23). Designed with wireless motion control cups for comfort, this piece is ideal for anyone seeking medium support for cardio-based activities like spinning or jogging.
