Workout wear for men is a tough category to get right and an awful one when you get it wrong.

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.
