With more and more people following a healthier lifestyle and following an exercise regime, fitness apparel trends take new shape every year. These people are making fitness apparel market strong and the CrossFit apparel designers realizing this trend introduce a new range of their fitness apparels every now and then.

Let us look at some of the best fitness apparel trends that we saw in 2018 and looks like they are here to stay for the longer run.

1. Keeping Leg Pants Tight and Tapered

Lower body movements in exercises such as squatting, bending, pulling and lifting require a little room around the thighs, but such room isn’t required below the knees. Tapered sweatpants or track help in wicking away the moisture ultimately keeping you cool and dry. Men and women have been seen wearing these in their workout session this year. More people are entering the tapered sweatpants community the next year for sure.

2. Sock Sneakers

We are in 2018, but we are having shoes from 2025 already. We are talking about sock sneakers. These futuristic sock sneakers are ankle-hugging and sleek and have made many guys ask: How you wear them? Because you can rock your sock sneakers at the gym, at work or just for a casual walk.

3. Full Sleeve Crop Tops (For Women)

Ditching the sleeveless crop tops, women have welcomed full sleeve crop top. Full-sleeves and sweating don’t go hand in hand. So, women are buying the sweat-wicking full sleeve crop tops because it goes well outside the gym as well.

4. Metallic Shades

Gun Metal, copper, fish scale texture, aluminum silver grey, metallic blue these are colors you might have seen people wearing in the gym along with a neon shade. These are getting better and better with every new shade, pattern, and style in the market.

5. Neon (Our Favorite)

Neon shade shoes by Nike, Reebok, Adidas, Sketchers and many other brands are making waves in fitness apparel trends. Colors that rock in the neon category are frostbite, alloy orange, laser lemon, green lizard, and shocking pink. Not only in shoes, the neons are flashing on t-shirts, tracks, and socks as well. Along with the neon shades, wear anything neutral or of solid color to maintain the contrast.

6. Camouflage Print

We have seen the animal prints on the ramps this year. And, the camo print is not much behind the animal prints in terms of popularity. From regular wardrobe filler to a premium Fitness wear, camo prints have traveled their way in the Fitness Apparel Trends. Camo tracks, shorts, t-shirts, vests you can pick anything in camo print.

7. Winter Wear

At the beginning of 2018, runners were seen wearing lightweight jackets and vests. Lightweight vests are not heavy and they keep the wearer warm. These are slim and sleek, unlike the bulky ones we had earlier in this category of Fitness Apparel Trends.
