I prefer to wear a tuxedo as the cummerbund will hide the back support belt.

I always wear the crappiest clothes I can since they get so soaked with sweat and pretty well ruined quickly. When in the gym, I prefer cotton tshirts though, I think because the air conditioning helps keep me cooler if my shirt stays damp. I've tried synthetic tshirts, and they are uncomfortable for me when indoors.

Incotex wool pants (light blue), Park Avenues, Thomas Pink shirt (I don't wear the good shirts because the barbell can actually leave dark smudges on clothing). Louis Vuitton driving gloves during deadlifts. Neckwear - Altea on leg day, Zegna on chest.

I workout nude. I find my exquisite physique is perfect to display infront of the large windows of my gym that look directly onto the street. It's free advertising for the gym, so they do not mind.

I don't give a rats ass about style in the gym. I wear ****** sleeveless T's and track pants, and the only half costly thing I wear to the gym is a pair of Nike Shox.

another vote for 'who gives a ****'.

I have some Cagewalk fighting shorts (since most of my workouts are attached to either boxing class or grappling class). I wear a tight Jockey shirt for grappling, and normally some old cotton tee for either boxing or lifting.

Mine are usually full of holes and torn until even I get disgusted by them.

Unless of course you are trying to attract the opposite or same sex, then you should wear colour coordinated gym togs or the latest Ts from your favourite designer and don tons of anti-perspirant.

Right now I'm going and have on my Ironman New Zeland finisher's t-shirt, my UCSB basketball shorts, 1 grey/white and 1 white/blue sock because I can't find the matching pairs.

I have a lot of soccer shorts (played club, for my high school, and one year here for my college) as I always bought or "took" my game shorts (in case of hs where we were supposed to give them back I'd claim every year I lost them and my dad would gladly pay for them) and I have several pairs of gym shorts from my boarding school that are black with the school name/logo but I wear them because the fit is perfect and I literally have more than 20 pairs.

As far as shirts I either wear a v-neck or crewneck in various colors...usually plain or something from one of my teams.

I always wear a pair of Asics Gel Kayanos (I have every pair as they fit my feet perfectly)
