What to Wear to Work Out in Summer

While keeping cool is key in the heat, summer workouts don't have to mean sacrificing your style. You can find a great range of expert branded sportswear online at M&S through The Sports Edit, including Adidas and Puma.

Experiment with vibrant colour to boost your summer workout look. Discover colourful vests in bold shades or pastel sports bras in soft hues. Light colours are a great choice for helping you stay cool in the sunshine. And don’t neglect patterns – they can add a unique touch to your workout gear, no matter your style.

Stay comfortable as the temperature shifts with our versatile range of tops and bottoms in various styles and sleeve lengths.

Stay comfortable and focused with our Goodmove range, expertly designed with performance in mind, especially when the temperature rises.

For Her: Make summer workouts a breeze with our sport bras and tops. The moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric, combined with added stretch and a seamless fit, ensures maximum comfort during intense cardio. Of course the British summer doesn’t always guarantee sunshine, but our range of sporty cover-ups will keep you warm, dry and help you stand out from the workout crowd.

For Him: Tackle early morning chills with our practical gilet. As your workout heats up, our quick-drying layered shorts will keep you cool and comfortable. The right trainers are also important. These Goodmove trainers, available in two colours, feature Freshfeet technology that fights the bacteria that can cause odours, perfect for those summer workouts or runs.

Various summer workouts demand specific gear.

• For running, opt for lightweight 2-in-1 running shorts and moisture-wicking tops with extra ventilation. Don't forget a cap to shield your face from the sun and sporty sunglasses for UV protection. A long sleeve training top is also great for cloudier days.

• Yoga calls for stretchy leggings, a form-fitting top and a light sweatshirt for relaxing in Savasana.

• Hitting the tennis courts? Swap out your leggings for stylish skorts or go all-out in a white sports dress. Layered shorts are a great option for men working on their serve.

• Golf mad? Ditch the trousers for lightweight stretchy shorts and team with a relaxed-fit polo shirt.

• If you’re taking advantage of the nice weather and trying open-air swimming, choose chlorine-resistant swimwear for pools.

• Cardio workouts will be extra sweaty when the temperature rise, so choose moisture-wicking leggings and vest tops to keep you cool and dry. Sports socks that also keep your feet fresh are also a must.
