I know workouts should be about the exercise itself and how you feel during and after a sweat session. It makes sense because if you're not doing a workout that you enjoy and that's effective for you, then it's not a very fun or productive experience. But can we just talk about something that's not the most important thing in a workout but still makes a difference? I'm talking about activewear here.

Yes, sometimes what I'm wearing can really make my workout more fun. To me, there's nothing like wearing a cute activewear set to a class or the gym and feeling yourself. Am I the only one who feels this way?

When I'm looking for activewear pieces, I want them to be functional, of course. Who wants to keep pulling up their leggings during a class or feeling like their boobs aren't supported at all while doing a HIIT set or cardio? No one. But I also gravitate toward pieces that have a little bit of stylish flair. I want to look good and feel good.

While I have a lot of basic leggings and sports bras, one of my favorite things to do is add some pattern or prints into my workout gear. I think it makes my exercise session a little less serious and a little more fun. Currently, I'm all about a patterned sports bra and solid leggings. It's not too out-there or flashy, but it's still a little bit more exciting than your regular black-on-black set. Give it a whirl sometime if you haven't already. It's fun!

And if you need some help with finding the best pattern sports bras, I've compiled a list of all the ones I'm currently eyeing at the moment. Take a look below.
