A while ago my friend asked me to write about what guys should work out in, for me the answer was obvious but I guess some of you are appropriate gym attire challenged, so I shall let you know what’s upppp. First for the DON’Ts…
1. Board shorts. Yuck. You aren’t swimming, we’ve been over this.
2. Weird shoes- Boots? Sneakers you’d skate in? Sandals? No.
3. Holey clothing. The other day I noticed a hole in the armpit of my shirt, I left the gym immediately.
4. Those weird shirts with the sides cut out? All droopy? I don’t even know what those are but no. Anything that shows your pecks? Out.
5. Bandannas, sorry I hate them. Please don’t send me hate email ahacxvvh. Get real you tho, you don’t need a bandanna, get a towel.
6. Sweatsuits, unless they are plain, no. Too matchy matchy, leave that for me.
7. Lame brand logo shirts, we know Affliction is out but out means OUT. Even at the gym.
Now onto the DO’s
1. Gym clothing! Who’d have guessed? Plain colored, fitted tank tops, wife beaters or crew necks. If you want to be extra cautious aim for all black or white to avoid sweat marks.
2. Gym pants, or shorts. Any colors. Keep it simple with athletic brands, Nike or Under Armour, tons of appropriate gym attire.
Pretty simple do’s. Basic cotton workout attire, no holes, nothing too wild, loose or tight and you should be all set. Click each pic to explore similar options.
Shoe wise, I would stick to Nike’s. They make the best looking shoes for men. I like any stylish workout shoe, bright colors included. 
I love the Air Moire, Nike’s, some of my all time faves but they are hard to find. Either way, your shoes should be not too beat up, and made for the gym. My only requirements

as much as i love hockey, there was this idiot up at school that would wear a Mark Messier to the gym EVERY TIME. who does that?! and he would walk around the gym spouting off rap lyrics. first of all, NO. but also, he was this skinny little jewish kid with a curly afro. he was like matisyahu’s handicap little brother.
i’d like to add trucker hats to the DON’T list. i definitely remember a specific PB DB (pacific beach douche bag) wearing a trucker hat places ever so perfectly on his head with a jaunty tilt, and freakin brown velour sweat suit. i also saw a dude in his mid-40′s wearing a wrestling singlet, i kid you not. yeah, it’s probably my fault for going to the 24 hour fitness in PB and expecting people to be taking their workout seriously, but there are some things you just wouldn’t expect people to be that stupid to do.
