Gym clothing doesn't have to be boring
Aren't you sick of those Adidas or Nike black shorts you show up to the gym in? Or that ratty tee with holes under the arms that you like to lift weights in because 'it's comfortable'? Just because you're going to sweat in it doesn't mean you shouldn't look good in it. Sports apparel is a fashion category all on its own and it's no wonder that brands around the world are releasing specialised sports ranges as we head into the warmer, more active months of the year.

Rufskin Barcelona Tank & Catalan Shorts[/caption]
All fashion is about personality and statement. Sure your workout gear doesn't have to scream 'LOOK AT ME I LOVE GOING TO THE GYM!', but it should show your own personality and style. Look around you at the gym. The guys and girls that stand out are the ones who are wearing something a little unique - something different to the ordinary when it comes to the boring plethora of the popular active clothing brands. Bold choices in the clothes you wear to the gym or while going for a run will define you. Why fade into the background?
Choose colour, texture, twin-tones and low cuts on tank tops for emphasis. Stray away from the stock standard brands and investigate something a little more exotic, like ADDICTED from Barcelona, Spain! They have some awesome active wear that you can even take to the beach or the pool. Rufskin is from California, USA. Those Californians mean business! Pair some Rufskin Catalan sports shorts with a Barcelona Tank Top and you're in business too! Closer to home, and for those that like a little looser fit, TEAMM8 from Australia has a brilliant set of colours out for the warmer months this year. Blues, reds, contrasting tones and natural fibres are all part of a great collection that is really worth checking out if you want to Live Bold while being active.

teamm8 Score Tank & Grip Shorts[/caption]
The teamm8 Score Tank Top comes in a number of awesome colours. Pair it with the relaxed looking Grip Shorts and you're onto a winning combination. Mix and match your looks as often as you like. Don't get too matchy matchy though. It's great to wear the same colour shoes as your top, but not if you're also wearing the same colour shorts. Blue tank, black shorts & blue shoes is a brilliant combo and my personal favourite.
