Packing your bag for a full working day, including gym clothes, can cause some problems, especially if you are the one who can’t maintain moderation. A casual shopper bag for your clothes won’t suffice, we’re afraid.
Putting drenched with sweat clothes back into a plastic bag doesn’t sound, and smell, like a great idea, especially when you’re heading back home by bus or subway. We’d suggest swapping it with a men’s or unisex gym bag made with a breathable, fast-drying performance material or a leather duffel bag from Balenciaga. You’ll fit not only clothes in them but also all key gym accessories, including a water bottle, an AirPods case, shoes, towel, shower gel and other cosmetics. Check out our proposals!
A gym bag for men and women has to be capacious and comfortable at the same time. It would be really useful when it was equipped with two shoulder straps: a short one and a long one, at least two or three internal pockets and a couple of external pockets. You can get this type of bag from Stella McCartney, for instance. The above-mentioned model has dimensions of 45 × 70 cm, so you will surely fit everything you need for your training. It was made of recycled material and it features a back zip pocket and a separate compartment inside.
The Balenciaga bag is a designer compromise between a classic women’s shopper bag and a standard sports bag - it is predestined for those who are not fond of this laid-back sports aesthetic and urge to show class even in the gym. The Neo Classic City is made of 100% calf leather and has a fringed zipper. The front is detailed with a zip pocket while the interior houses a slip pocket. It is very comfortable to wear.
A Hugo Boss sports bag (a backpack, actually) is yet another solution for running enthusiasts and basketball fans. It was designed for the BOSS x Russell Athletic collaboration - the iconic American brand. To learn more about this collection, you can read here.
What are you going to pack in your bag for your next training session? A water bottle (a reusable one, obviously) and bottle case are essential. Y-3 Yohji Yamamoto and Fendi (in collaboration with 24Bottles) are among the brands producing chic and functional water bottles and thermal bottles. Alexander McQueen, on the other hand, created stylish attire for your bottle equipped with a practical strap. As far as sports accessories are concerned, a Fendi water bottle is primarily worth mentioning.
A 24Bottles thermal bottle clad in a Fendi case adjusts to the temperature of the drink: it maintains the temperature of beverages, which stay warm for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours. Produced in an environmentally friendly, carbon-neutral way with a Phthalate, BPA and toxin-free construction, it also preserves the taste of the drinks.
Another handy gadget? A stylish headphone case. At Vitkac.com, you can choose from cases and holders from multiple brands, including Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent. A Fendi skateboard fits in the category of unique accessories, no doubt. It is 20 cm wide (approx 8 inches) and is one of the most popular items among fans of this sport.
To sum up, besides funky accessories, your bag should also be full of enthusiasm, persistence, strong will and sneakers by renowned brands, such as Reebok, New Balance, Nike or Adidas - they definitely have well-cushioned soles and high-quality uppers to help you out during your aerobic routine.
