Updated: Aug 17

Hello, babes!


Welcome to the Latest Gym Fashions section of Millie Moves. With the new year in full swing, it’s the perfect time to refresh your gym wardrobe and stay on top of the hottest trends in women’s fitness fashion. Whether you’re a gym regular or just getting started, feeling good in what you’re wearing can give you that extra boost of confidence to smash your fitness goals. So, let’s dive into what’s trending in 2020!


1. Bold Patterns and Prints

If there’s one thing that’s standing out in gym fashion this year, it’s bold, eye-catching patterns and prints. We’re talking leopard spots, snake skin, abstract designs, and even vibrant florals. These prints are making a statement in everything from leggings to sports bras, and they’re perfect for adding a pop of personality to your workout gear.


Brands to Check Out: Gymshark and Sweaty Betty are leading the charge with their playful prints and patterns that make your gym outfits anything but boring.


2. Seamless Everything

Seamless activewear continues to be a major trend in 2020, and it’s easy to see why. Seamless pieces offer a smooth, second-skin fit that’s incredibly comfortable, flattering, and functional. Whether you’re doing yoga, lifting weights, or going for a run, seamless designs move with you and eliminate any irritation or chafing.


Brands to Check Out: Gymshark’s seamless collections are iconic, and Alo Yoga is also delivering on this trend with their buttery-soft seamless leggings and tops.


3. High-Waisted Leggings

High-waisted leggings are officially a staple in every gym wardrobe, and 2020 is no exception. These leggings are loved for their flattering fit, providing support around the midsection and enhancing your natural curves. Plus, they stay in place during even the most intense workouts, so you don’t have to worry about constantly adjusting them.


Brands to Check Out: Lululemon’s Align leggings are a cult favorite, and Nike’s high-waisted offerings are perfect for both performance and style.


4. Sustainable Activewear

As sustainability becomes more important across all aspects of fashion, gym wear is no exception. In 2020, we’re seeing more brands commit to eco-friendly practices, whether it’s using recycled materials, reducing waste, or creating products that are designed to last.


Brands to Check Out: Adidas is making strides with their recycled polyester pieces, and Outdoor Voices is also focusing on sustainable materials and ethical production practices.


5. Matching Sets

There’s something undeniably satisfying about a matching set, and 2020 is embracing this trend in a big way. Coordinating your sports bra with your leggings or shorts not only looks chic but also makes getting ready for the gym a breeze. Look for sets in solid colors, playful prints, or even mixed textures to add variety to your gym wardrobe.


Brands to Check Out: Fabletics is killing it with their mix-and-match sets, and Varley offers luxe matching pieces that transition effortlessly from the gym to the street.


6. Pastel and Neutral Tones

While bold colors and prints are having a moment, pastel and neutral tones are also a big trend this year. Think soft pinks, lavender, mint green, and all shades of beige and cream. These colors are perfect for a more understated, elegant look that’s still totally on-trend.


Brands to Check Out: Alo Yoga’s pastel collections are dreamy, and Under Armour’s neutral-toned pieces are perfect for a sleek, minimalist vibe.


7. Functional Fabrics

Functionality is key in gym wear, and 2020 is all about high-performance fabrics that work as hard as you do. Moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and breathable materials are non-negotiables for keeping you comfortable during intense workouts. We’re also seeing an increase in compression fabrics that provide extra support and help with muscle recovery.


Brands to Check Out: Nike and Lululemon are leaders in innovative fabrics, offering pieces that are both stylish and performance-driven.


8. Athleisure: Gym to Street

The athleisure trend shows no signs of slowing down in 2020. With busy schedules, it’s all about finding pieces that can seamlessly transition from the gym to everyday life. Think oversized hoodies, joggers, and stylish sneakers that look just as good running errands as they do during your workout.


Brands to Check Out: Adidas is a classic go-to for athleisure, and Sweaty Betty’s collections are perfect for nailing that gym-to-street look.


Moving Forward with Style

As we kick off this new decade, it’s clear that gym fashion is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling empowered, confident, and ready to take on whatever challenges come your way. Whether you’re drawn to bold prints, sustainable choices, or sleek minimalist styles, there’s something for everyone in 2020.


Remember, your gym wardrobe is an extension of your personal style, so have fun with it! Mix and match trends, experiment with colors and prints, and most importantly, wear what makes you feel amazing.


I can’t wait to see how you’re rocking these trends this year, babe. Let’s make 2020 our most stylish and strongest year yet!
