We all know that athletic wear is quite popular these days. In fact, most of us tend to turn to it even when we’re not exercising. These clothes have fun designs, they’re comfortable and can be pretty flattering if you choose the right pieces. Sometimes these clothes can be challenging to shop for, so here are our recommendations for the athletic wear that is best for your body type!
If you have a more athletic shaped body, it is likely that you have broad shoulders with a straight waist and hips. The best workout clothes for this body shape will be pieces that help show off your arms, shoulders, and waist, so racerback or halter tops are great options! For the bottoms, try leggings and flare-out or boot-cut yoga pants that can add length while also bringing attention to your waist!
