Lycra’s All Around
The lycra jokes, the fears and the humour will always be there should you choose to wear such items. It has to be said, does anyone ever look really good in lyrca?
Consider something loose enough and unrestrictive for exercise but also go for something that makes you feel comfortable and at ease with yourself especially if the gym is a whole new experience and you are maybe not at ease with your body shape. Consider as well how hot you will get whilst working out. Go for fabric that breathes. Also consider your footwear, do not go for a fashion statement or the pair of soft shoes you may well wear for casual at the weekends, get a proper pair of training shoes that suit the sport you will be doing at the gym,
The flaunt it style is ideal for those LA gyms in the USA however I think you have to be realistic and not go for something too outlandish!
