July 8, 2022

Whether they’re scrunching around the knees, hiking up onto your hips, sagging down at the waist, or too tight in all the wrong places, uncomfortable workout clothes might be the most annoying thing to happen to a good workout. Even more infuriating, are workout clothes that you can’t wait to change out of before you run your errands. The solution: quality workout clothes that are cute. This summer, upgrade your closest by investing in quality summer workout clothes you can wear at the gym or on the go. In this article, we’ll cover the following topics:

  • Our favorite summer workout clothes
  • How people are styling them
  • Where to wear them 

Chic Summer Workout Pants

The hotter the weather, the shorter the bottoms, and the more exposed skin. Short skirts, biker shorts, and capris are where it’s at this Summer in terms of style and keeping cool. For extra outfit inspiration for cute summer skirts, check out this post from Dona Jo. But as for now, here are our top picks for workout bottoms for the upcoming season.

The Dona Jo Active Biker short is a go-to staple piece for every summer workout wardrobe. The jungle pattern especially adds to the summery feel of these shorts, with tropical leaves and playful colors. The high waistband and flat seams make it easy and flattering to wear with a form-fitting sports top for your workout or with a blazer for your day-to-day activities. If you’re interested in cute ways to pair your biker shorts with a blazer and need some guidance, then check out Dona Jo’s helpful advice. The Active Biker Short even has side pockets for storing your belongings that you just can’t stand to leave home without. Its medium-compression and 4-way stretch material will make every movement, from going to the gym to running errands or going on a coffee date, feel breathable and comfortable. We strongly encourage you to head into your “hot girl summer” with a biker set.

We love biker shorts, but there’s no denying that some days you feel a little more girly than others. Skirts are not only a must have for summer tennis matches, but are an indispensable summer clothing piece. Nobody knows that better than Dona Jo. Versatility is a common thread throughout the Dona Jo brand and the Jojo Skirt in Surreal is no exception. The ability to transition from activewear to daywear with the same on-trend piece is an important quality that Dona Jo skirts never fail to offer. Grab lunch with a friend, run a 5K, or take a yoga class in your favorite Dona Jo skirt. No matter which print you are currently obsessed with, all of the skirts blend bright colors and bold patterns with the functionality and comfort everyone desires in their activewear.

The Dona Jo Power Capri in Leaf Deluxe is the perfect pant for the die-hard legging wearer who wants to expose a little more skin during the Summer. Sometimes comfort lies more in the concealment than the fabric and fit. As strong advocates for self-love and body positivity, we understand the natural solace gained from being able to hide scars, stretch marks, cellulite, etc. You should never feel as though you have to, but if that is what makes you feel like your best self, ready to tackle the day, we are all for it. 

So, put your long black leggings into retirement temporarily and get your hands on a colored capri for the Summer. This capri is sophisticated and extremely beautiful. The fabric is shiny, expensive looking and just feels great on the skin. The detailed seams on the sides make this capri slimming, and the sleek smartphone pockets are perfect for the hikers, dog walkers, runners, and generally anyone on-the-go.

Stylish Summer Tops to Take You from Your Workout to Your Errands

Equally as important as bottoms for a successful workout are tops. As a woman, a good top for both your workout and your on-the-go activities requires supporting your womanly figure and not being too tight or too loose – the goldilocks of fit. Achieving this is no easy task. But, with environmentally friendly materials, stylish designs, high quality fabric, and flexibility for all of the activities in your life, Dona Jo comes pretty close to perfection. We have a few favorite tops that we would like to share.

The new slim fit of the Dona Jo Ace Tank 2.0 is stylish on and off the court. In this top, don’t just be a baller. Be the fashionista and the style guru of the court. Also, be a pioneer of change and help produce less waste. The top is made out of biodegradable nylon, a yarn that has been enhanced to allow clothing to quickly decompose after disposal in landfills. Normal nylon takes decades to break down, but this nylon is completely decomposed after 3 years. 

If you care about the health of your skin as much as you care about the health of the planet, then you're going to love this next feature. It offers UV 50+ protection and it’s free from toxins to human skin according to international standard Oeko-Tex 100 Class I. Like everything at Dona Jo, the Ace Tank 2.0 is extremely versatile and pairs well with high rise jeans for a casual everyday look.

There’s nothing worse than getting ready to workout or play a sport and rummaging through tons of clothes, but having nothing to wear. I mean, we’ve all been there. It’s not that there’s literally nothing, but that none of the clothing offers you what you need to go into the gym or onto the court and feel confident and comfortable. Wearing the right workout clothing, even if it’s to go grab coffee with a friend or do your weekly grocery shopping, is key to a successful day and to achieving your goals. So, when you go to update your wardrobe this summer consider some of our favorite staple items and have fun mixing and matching different styles and prints.
