I Tried Dopamine Dressing at the Gym—Here’s What Happened
I Tried Dopamine Dressing at the Gym and It Changed My Approach to Working Out
6
For yet another Solidcore class, I opted for the Left on Friday Form Tank ($70) and Kick It Pant ($120) in this gray-blue shade that the brand calls Varsity. A fitted, one-shoulder top and flared pants make me feel most confident during a Pilates class because I feel like the cut flatters my figure while bringing a little something extra to the table. (I tend to receive "Where did you get that!?" inquiries whenever I work out in a one-shoulder or intricately strapped top.) I added my Disney hat because I loved that it was similar in tone and that Mickey's pants brought out the accents on my New Balance 550s ($111).
Not only did the baseball cap speak to my personality (my family goes to Disney World at least twice a year), the ankle slits on these pants were actually functional and allowed me to fully navigate my machine with ease, allowing for extended movement on a carriage kick, for example. I find that little details like these help me fight through the dreaded sluggish feeling at the end of an active week, or on a day when I almost skipped class in favor of staying in bed.
