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. With temperatures rising outside, indoor gym workouts still require their own kit – even with the marvel of air conditioning. Stay comfortable with the latest arrivals from our Goodmove range, expertly designed with performance in mind.

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 however our range of sporty cover-ups will keep you warm and dry when travelling to and from the gym.

For Him: As your workout heats up, our quick-drying layered shorts will keep you cool. Pair with a coordinating breathable tee or opt for a seam-free vest for heavier cardio days. The right trainers are important: our Goodmove lace-up trainers are a great all-rounder for beginners.

You can find a wide range of expert branded sportswear for summer workouts 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, whatever your style.

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

Many summer workouts require 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. Your feet can swell during the summer workouts, so if the miles are adding up try cushioned trainers like the Saucony Ride 18. Learn more about how to choose the right running trainers in our guide.

• Yoga calls for stretchy leggings, a form-fitting top and a light sweatshirt for relaxing in Savasana. Our latest Goodmove leopard-print yoga top and bottoms blend statement style with flexibility.

• Hitting the tennis courts? Swap 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.

• For golf, 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 at the lido, choose chlorine-resistant swimwear for pools.

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

• Weight training in an air-conditioned gym can be appealing when it's hot outside. Look to trainers with a flat sole for stability, such as the Puma Fuse 3.
