BOOT CAMP CHIC

BY GABRIELLE PORCARO

 

While the boot camp workout combines cardio and strength training, the army-inspired style is a mix of fashion and functionality. This spring’s runways included cargo pants at Prabal Gurung and Givenchy, olive green shades a Sacai, and utility jumpsuits at Hermes. 

Here, seven military-influenced pieces to try in and out of the gym. 

If you’re going to try bike shorts—one of season’s biggest trends—consider an empowering print. These are soft, high-rise, and hit in just the right place above the knee.

ADIDAS MEN’S ORIGINAL FUTUREPACER SHOES

Khaki, like dark green, has a utilitarian feel. While this leather shoe looks futuristic, it’s actually a throwback style first produced in 1984. The wraparound, stretchy construction makes for a multipurpose everyday sneaker.

 

ULTRACOR POINTBREAK MONARCH ONE PIECE

Butterflies take on camo hues in this cutout swimsuit, which is equally ideal for laps and lounging. Pair it with black leggings for a dance cardio, barre, or hot yoga class.

L’URV ARMY OF LOVE MESH BRALETTE

This sports bra might have mesh paneling, but it’s still a high-performance piece. The compression fabric will keep you supported through any workout, whether it’s Pilates or HIIT.

 

VUORI MEN’S PONTO PERFORMANCE PANT

These super-soft sweatpants have all the essential qualities of a workout tight—like moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabric—but in a loose-fitting, comfortable silhouette. Wear them in the weight room, for a breezy hike, or to a casual lunch.

GO DASH DOT INFINITY BAG

This highly-practical gym bag features a bottom compartment that can hold sneakers, cycling clothes, and even a yoga mat in addition to an interior zipper pocket for smaller items. The dark camo print serves as a new neutral, meaning you can pair it with any workout outfit.

TWENTY MONTRÉAL MONT-ROYAL JACQUARD HOODIE

An artistic rendition of camouflage takes this hoodie far beyond basic. Don it before, after, or during a lifting session.
