What you wear tells the world a lot about who you are and what you value. But did you realize that stylish workout clothing could influence how often you workout, too?

Research from Victoria University in Australia shows that putting on exercise gear (that is, clothing specifically intended and designed for exercise) can actually encourage you to work out. Possible reasons for this so-called “exercise facilitation” effect include functional design, size, fit, color, and price.

As for the type of exercise clothing which will help you get your heart rate up the most, a lot of that comes down to personal preference (as well as the more tech-y aspects of moisture wicking, compression garments, and smart clothing, aka “e-textiles”). That said, one of the growing trends in the athletic attire aka “athleisure” industry recently is the jumpsuit or onesie.

Yup: they’re not just for the 80’s and early 90’s anymore! This sleek, form-fitting look can look great on any body type, is snug yet flexible, and can seamlessly slip under outerwear and be transformed into an easy day look outside the gym, too. Jumpsuits are also PERFECT for your next barre, Pilates, or yoga class—or even a simple workout on your own.
