How to Take Your Gym Look to Brunch in 5 Steps

There’s something inherently chic about a woman who can transition seamlessly from crushing her morning workout to sipping mimosas with her squad. It’s an effortless blend of function and fashion—a kind of “I woke up like this” energy, but make it athleisure. Lucky for you, Figures has mastered the art of gym-to-brunch styling, and today, I’m sharing the five steps to nail it.

Choose Versatile Pieces


Your gym outfit is your canvas, so start with pieces that are just as flattering under fluorescent lights as they are in the soft glow of brunch vibes. Think sleek leggings with elevated textures, like ribbing or faux leather finishes, paired with a cropped tank that doubles as a cute top.

Layer It Up

The key to transitioning your look is layers. Toss on an oversized blazer for that “off-duty model” effect or a soft, slouchy knit sweater for cozy vibes. A cropped puffer jacket works wonders if you’re feeling sporty-chic. Pro tip: Stick to neutral or monochromatic tones for instant sophistication.

Swap Sneakers for Slides (or Elevate Them)


Sneakers are cool, but brunch calls for something a little more refined—or bold. Slide into strappy sandals or chunky loafers for a polished touch. If you’re a die-hard sneaker girl (we see you), opt for clean, white kicks to keep the vibe fresh and elevated.

Add Accessories

Accessories are the exclamation point on your outfit. A structured tote or mini crossbody bag will give your look that brunch-approved edge. Layer delicate gold jewelry or oversized sunnies to make it clear you didn’t just leave the gym—you own this look.

Freshen Up Your Face


The finishing touch? A quick refresh. Swipe on some tinted moisturizer, dab highlighter on your cheekbones, and slick on a tinted lip balm for that effortless glow. A spritz of your favorite signature scent is non-negotiable. After all, confidence smells as good as it looks.

Brunch, But Make It Effortless


Transforming your gym look for brunch is about balancing comfort and style. It’s not about trying too hard—it’s about owning who you are, whether you’re lifting weights or lifting a mimosa. With these five steps, you’ll always be ready to conquer your day, one stylish step at a time.

See you at brunch, babes. 🥂
