It's not an exact science but we are confident that the chances of attending a gym class dramatically increases if one dons a nice outfit. This goes for more or less anything we take on in life, making an effort in the style stakes can translate into increased performance through a boost of confidence.

Seeing as one is extra vulnerable after a good sweat, it’s even more important to feel powerful at the gym. We've all heard the saying "new year, new me," however, following our embrace of daily affirmations and our desire to feel good and love our bodies as they are, we say '"new year, same me, but with some extra motivation."

Luckily, brands including Alo Yoga, Lululemon and Hoka, seem to have manifested our desire to look fashionable in activewear.

So when you want to look good on the mat, only this stretchy two-piece set from Alo Yoga will do. The ideal ultra-chic set which will leave you wishing you could wear it well beyond the class grounds.
