HOT GIRL SEASON 💁🏽‍♀️

It's so real when you want to feel great and confident at the gym, but also prioritize modesty. I totally get the love for shorts – they're comfy and breezy! But if you're like me and looking for ways to cover up more without sacrificing style or comfort, let's chat about some fantastic options and tips I've picked up along the way. First off, finding the right base layers is key. Instead of short shorts, consider full-length leggings or capris that offer great coverage and support. There are so many brands now making super flattering, squat-proof leggings in a variety of colors and patterns. Don't be afraid to experiment with darker tones like dark sweatpants or even deep jewel tones – they can be incredibly chic! For tops, layering is your best friend. A looser-fitting long-sleeve top or a modest t-shirt, perhaps in a cool light green t-shirt shade, worn over a sports bra can provide excellent coverage. Look for tops with higher necklines if that's a concern. I've also found some amazing athletic tunics or longer-length tank tops that hit below the hip, giving you extra coverage over your leggings. Some even come with built-in bras, which is a bonus! And what about those days you just want to throw something on and go? Modest athletic dresses or skirts are a game-changer! Many brands are now designing activewear dresses with built-in shorts or leggings, offering both coverage and freedom of movement. They're perfect for light workouts, walks, or even just running errands after the gym. Don't forget about outerwear! A lightweight, breathable zip-up jacket or a stylish hoodie can be perfect for warm-ups, cool-downs, or simply for added coverage when you're moving around the gym. It's all about strategic layering. When it comes to feeling 'hot' or confident, it's not just about showing skin. It's about how you feel in your clothes! Choose pieces that fit well – not too tight, not too baggy – and make you feel strong and comfortable. Play with colors and textures. A pop of color, like that light green t-shirt, can brighten your look and boost your mood. And where to shop for these gems? I've had luck checking out brands that specifically cater to modest activewear, but also larger athletic brands often have 'modest' or 'coverage' sections. Online communities and social media (like Lemon8!) are great places to find recommendations from others on the same journey. Remember, your comfort and confidence are what truly make you shine. It's all about creating your own 'Modesty Gym edition' that works for you!
