To help you out we’ve separated gym fashion into tops (shirts & singlets), bottoms (shorts, pants, compression pants), shoes and specialty items & accessories that make you look like a gym pro. To make life even easier, we’ve included links to some of the most awesome online shops so you can get started right away!
Gym Fashion For men: TOP’s (shirts and Singlets)
When you are working out in a gym, you have a range of options – t-shirt or singlet. The modern trends are compression gear and climacool fabrics that breath easily and keep you fresh while you workout. Stay away from grey or lighter colors as sweat will show easily. Try going for white, fluros (brigh yellow or green) or dark colors.
Brands we like:
We really love Reebok lately with their new cross fit focus, awesome color combinations, and stretchy shirt materials. Under Armour are another up and coming brand taking the compression wear world by storm. Nike and Adidas are also good choices for shirts and singlets.

BOTTOM’s (shorts, pants, tights, compression pants)
In the gym, there are a couple of options for men. If you like a loose, breathable feeling, basic basketball shorts will do the job and there’s a variety of colors that you can choose from. Compression Pants are a more modern trend that has come about from the cross-fit scene. Compression pants are like tights and are designed to maximize your range of motion while also keeping your muscles warm and blood circulation to a maximum. You can wear them in combination with basketball pants, short running shorts or just on their own. You can find a number of shorts that will look great at Namshi. You can also visit Sun and Sand Sport in Dubai Mall for a great selection of all types of gym pants.
Brands we like:
We really like the GUESS lounge shorts. These lounge shorts are made from a poly-cotton blend French terry fabric. We love the fact that the button down fly is concealed. For Compression Pants you can’t go past Reebok and Under Armour – both brands have awesome design and you will feel thedifference.

SHOE’s (Tennis, Sneaker, High Top)
As long as you are not outside or running around, your basic sneakers will work allowing you to use the treadmill or lift weights. You want to find a good pair of shoes that will be able to support your ankles as you work out. You will also want to look at some of the awesome color combinations that are out there.
Brands we like:
This is why we recommend the Converse Chuck Taylor classic colors hi top canvas sneakers. You are able to get them in a number of different colors and they are able to support your ankles as you are working out or lifting weights. We also recommend the crossfit selection by Reebok. Nike have some cool flyknit style shoes, but they are not so functional once you step out of the gym.

SPECIAL (shower shoes)
You might want to make sure that you bring in a pair of shower shoes for when you are done working out. Look for a great pair of shower shoes that have a decent tread to help prevent slipping.

We found Nike Jordan super fly team slide not only have a great look but you can pick them up for a reasonable price. With these shower shoes you will notice holes throughout the shoes to help the water to move through the shoes.

The men’s gym gear is fantastic. Have to purchase work out gear for my brother’s gym training as he asked me to buy few pairs for him. Planning to buy them from Nike online store where they are on discount these days. Hope he will like my style and color choice.
