  1 / 18 These fancy activewear are giving Lululemon a run for their money

  Whether you’re doing yoga or HIIT, how you look plays a huge part in how you feel during a workout.

  A study at California State University found that when people suited up in business clothes, they felt more powerful and did better at big-picture thinking than their casually dressed peers. We think this applies in a fitness setting too: The more well dressed you are, the more pumped up and confident you’ll be. And that is one big step to nailing a tough workout.

  Go on, find yourself some trendy (and power-boosting) togs here.
