How to get away with wearing gym clothes to lectures

Because not everyone wants their seminar tutor to know they’ve just been hitting the weights


We’re so used to people running around in their full gym kit and sports team stash on campus.

But what if you didn’t have to stand out so obviously when going to lectures before or after your gym session?

These simple steps will have you cruising from your lecture and up forum hill before anyone even noticed that those were gym leggings you were wearing.

Before we got our styling hands on Nora 

The hair do

Firstly, sport a braided hairstyle that will keep the hair out of your face in your workout, but will add a touch of sophistication to your daytime look.

The cheeky cover up

Next, cover up your workout top with an oversized, printed jumper.

The accessories

Accessorise with simple pieces that will distract people from the more sporty items of your look.

The warming piece

Layer a colourful scarf over your hoodie for a touch of warmth and comfort.

The hill-climbing shoes

Invest in some stylish trainers, like these bold Nike ones with fluorescent green panelling.

The bag aka the Black Hole of everything I need this afternoon

Make sure you carry a casual bag to complement your laid back look and keep your gym kit as well as your laptop and notebooks.

And the end product is a stylishly chilled look that will have you comfortable in your lectures AND in your workout.

Nora is very pleased with her styling. She can now go to class without looking like she mistook the auditorium for a sports arena
