6:00 AM – An unfriendly alarm reminder!
7:45 AM – Out of bed because you can’t procrastinate anymore.
8:30 AM – You’re obviously late for work, duh!
11:00 – 1:00 PM – Waiting for lunchtime!
1:00 PM – LUNCH!
4:00 – 5:00 PM – Second lunch, anyone?
6:00 PM – You actually start working!
7:00 PM – …
8:00 PM – …
9:00 PM – ENH! You missed gym again!
Relatable much? Don’t give your trainer another chance to go MIA on you. How about a quick cheat that will save you time to transition between office and gym so you never miss a workout! Here’s a simple guide to wearing gym clothes to work without looking like someone who has ‘given up’ on life!
1. Striped Tights For The Win!
Black tights with a vertical stripe of colour are such a hoot these days. They are so universal you can wear them to something as formal as work and then slip into the gym. Make sure they’re breathable enough for an easy ‘9 to 5’, and a comfortable workout.
POPxo Recommends: Side Striped Black Tights ( Rs 1,500) by Adidas.
2. Bomber Jackets To Look Like A Bomb!
A jacket sounds like a fashionable (and fall-friendly) idea with the advent of December. With a variety of fabrics to choose from, bomber jackets, especially the ones made of viscose rayon are light to workout with. Saving you an extra layer to carry along.
POPxo Recommends: Red Colourblocked Bomber Jacket (Rs 1,999) by Forever 21.
3. Racerback Tops, FTW!
At work, throw on a denim jacket. At the gym, get those arms to work with a racerback top that allows for an effortless upper-body workout. Did you know? Racerbacks can also help improve your posture as the straps pull your shoulders back and help you stand straight.
POPxo Recommends: Charcoal Grey Racerback Bra-Top (Rs 629) by HRX by Hrithik Roshan.
4. All Black Everything (With A Twist)
Never underestimate the power of all-black everything. Kareena shows us how to de-stress with textured spandex tights and mirrored oversized sunnies. Spandex is an exceptionally comfortable workout option. Wear it with a longline shrug to work as a cover-up, and drop the pretence when you get to the gym.
POPxo Recommends: Marble Running Tights (Rs 1,899) by Reebok.
5. White Sneakers, Why Not?
All work and no play… you know how it goes, right? Replace your regular footwear with a pair of white sneakers and add a dash of play to your work life. They’re comfy and somehow, still in fashion. Leg days aren’t scary anymore, ladies!
POPxo Recommends: Tanjun Br Trainers (Rs 4,995) by Nike.
Eat. Sleep. Sweat. Repeat!
