Gym Outfits for Men

Active training tops and performance shorts designed for men training in the gym.

Modern gym outfits for men pair technical running shorts or tailored track trousers with breathable cotton t shirts and relaxed tank tops. Heavyweight cotton absorbs sweat during lifting sessions while relaxed cuts leave room to move under a barbell. Monochrome palettes of black, white and olive anchor the rotation so separate pieces always match without friction.

Tracksuits began as warm up suits that athletes wore over their kit before and after competing. ASRV, the men's activewear label Jay Barton started, brings tanks, tees and liner shorts. Y-3, made by Adidas with a Japanese designer since the early two thousands, gives Adidas sportswear oversized shapes in a mostly monochrome palette. Nike's pieces here are mostly collaborations, from soccer jerseys to track pants.

Foundational outfits pair relaxed tank tops with liner shorts and low profile training shoes. Layer an oversized long sleeve top over training tights during colder warmups. Due West in Toronto brings ASRV tanks, tees and liner shorts with Y-3 tees, while Utopia in Toronto brings Nike jerseys and track pants, some pre owned, along with Adidas. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Y-3 shorts and tees.

Common questions

What should men wear for heavy barbell training?
Choose flat soled shoes with a cotton tee and shorts that let you squat deep. Flat, firm soles give a steady base under a heavy bar.
Which designers make the gym clothes on this page?
ASRV, a men's activewear label, brings tanks, tees and liner shorts. Y-3 brings tees and shorts, and Nike brings jerseys and track pants, mostly made with other labels.
How should gym tops fit for lifting weights?
Select relaxed or oversized cuts through the chest and shoulders to ensure full overhead mobility. Tailored hems prevent extra fabric from catching on barbells during Olympic lifts.
