Spring has sprung. The birds are singing. The grass is growing. The marshmallow Peeps are back and we are being reminded at every turn that bikini season is just a few short months away. That means that most of us will be heading back to the gym to try to undue the damage of Christmas with Grandma. To keep you motivated to reach that goal, here are 3 of spring’s favorite stylish gym trends and how you can snag them for yourself…

Pop Culture T Shirts

A loose fitting tee has always been the perfect go to way to cover up at the gym, but you will rarely see gym rats dressed anything less than stylishly… even when they are dressed down. Pop culture t shirts are bridging the gap between comfort and style this year, bringing us both the hardcore and the humorous for however you are feeling on any given day. From Mean Girls quotes to funny spins on rap lyrics, there is something for every mood and every person. Try a style in a bright color to dress up your favorite black yoga leggings.

Retro Sneakers and Socks

This trend has been in the weight room for a while, but more and more fitness junkies are catching on to just how insanely comfortable and cute that retro sneakers and socks can be. Try athletic stripe knee highs with an old school Converse. Not only will you look absolutely adorable, they are a great way to feel more covered when you want to wear a fitted athletic short. It gets awfully hot in the gym, but there is always such thing as too much skin. This trend solves both problems… win/win.

Snapbacks

You love them at the beach – and you will love them just as much at the gym. This year, hats are taking a play from the playbook of the pop culture t shirts trend with simple statement quotes or words that add personality to your look. Whether you go for something humorous or something Indie, a lot of snapbacks popping up this year are not even available in mainstream stores, but are being found at startup brands and on DIY sites that take custom orders.

A you get back into the swing of the fit life, remember that it is easier to stick with something that you enjoy. Make dressing for the gym a ritual and you just might find that you cannot wait to go back… or at least do not dread it quite so bad. Hey, you can’t win them all.
