The Best Workout Gear, According to Your Style Type
More than any of the other 11 months of the year, January is a time for new goals and achievements to set your sites on, and oftentimes, a healthier lifestyle fits perfectly into that fresh new outlook. You've probably noticed that workout classes seem a lot more crowded lately, and fitness studio specials are easy to come by right now. While that certainly provides plenty of motivation, perhaps the number one thing that gets a fashion girl to the gym, spin class, Pilates, boot camp, or whatever your workout of choice is, is a cute new outfit. But not all workout pieces are one-style-type-fits-all. To help you navigate the slew of workout gear on the market, we found five recent celebrity workout outfits for five common style types, from trend-forward to classic, along with pieces inspired by the looks. This might even be enough to make someone sign up for ClassPass, if we do say so ourselves.
Minimalist
If you're the type who prefers to keep things simple, follow Karlie Kloss's lead and shop for fuss-free pieces in neutral colors that you can mix and match with the rest of your workout wardrobe.
On Karlie Kloss: Adidas Climalite Workout T-Shirt ($25), leggings, and Ultraboost Sneakers ($180)

Elegant
Just because you're going to sweat for an hour doesn't mean you can't wear something pretty. We think ballerina-inspired workout gear is the most elegant way to get your sweat on.

Before the legging craze, you probably wore workout shorts a lot more than you do now, right? If it's a classic look you favor, channel Selena Gomez and don a pair of loose shorts, a sports bra (and tank, if you choose), and simple white sneakers.

Trend-Forward
There's no reason why your workout style can't be as forward as your everyday style. So by all means, wear that puffer off your shoulders, a crop top, a sweatshirt around your waist, bold-colored leggings, and the latest It sneakers.
On Gigi Hadid: Roberi & Fraud Frances Sunglasses ($250); Reebok sports bra, Mesh Leggings ($50), and Floatride Run 6000 Sneakers ($130)
