Workout wear for men is a tough category to get right and an awful one when you get it wrong. At a certain point, you have to give up those Champion sweatpants from 1997 and that yellowing Fruit of the Loom tee for more favorable options, for function's sake as much as style. Gym clothes for men should be flattering, simple, durable, breathable and sweat-proof. Many of the items on our list have all of the aforementioned features, plus more. Have a gander at some of our favorite picks for men’s gym clothes and build a workout wardrobe that will last.
