You want to look your best at the gym. After all there's that hot guy who is always hanging around the bench press and you just have make him notice you.

You sort through your active wear looking for just the right thing to put on. Something that will show off all those curls you've been doing.

Dressing for the gym is just as important these days as dressing for business. But there are a few guidelines you need to follow.

First and foremost, you need to be comfortable and allow your body a great range of motion. Forget the designer labels. You are just going to look like an out of place Village clone. Besides, after a few workouts, those high priced crocodiles and polo guys will only be ready for the garbage.

Let's face it, you're going to the gym to pump iron and to sweat it out,

Just like your everyday clothing, your success in being stylish at the gym lies in the simplicity and elegance of your outfits. Avoid wearing multicolored T-shirts that don't match the color of your pants and/or sneakers. Your entire ensemble should consist of 2 or 3 colors or tones. Any combination above 3 colors will likely lead to a fashion disaster.

Stick to solid colors like black, navy blue, red, gray, earth tones, and white. If you're the type to perspire a lot, avoid wearing light gray T-shirts because sweat stains under your armpits will make you look rather filthy and unattractive.

The same applies to yellow sweat stains on your white t-shirts; even though they are totally natural, they'll make you look sloppy.

All T-shirts with flashy logos and huge insignias should also be left aside and worn as pajamas instead. Wear T-shirts with discreet logos such as Reebok, Puma, Adidas, and the famous Nike swoosh. A small logo on the chest or back of your tee is classy, subtle and will match the rest of your training gear. Just shop for your favorite brand and find simple, stylish T-shirts made for the gym.

If you have a fit, trim body, don't be shy to wear tighter T-shirts or even more revealing tank tops. Just follow the same guidelines: keep it simple and make sure it looks clean.

Generally, cotton tops are the most comfortable and the least expensive. As for better fit, I suggest various blends of synthetic fibers because they offer a better fit and provide as much breathing ability and comfort as cotton.

When you're scheduled to work out your legs and/or do cardio, it's wise to wear shorts. They allow a greater range of motion and better air circulation. You'll find a wide variety of shorts that offer support, comfort and style.

In order to look good, shorts should fall a little above the knees and fit nicely around your buttocks and legs. Save the extremely loose fitting shorts for boxers and basketball players; they lack sex appeal and look kind of sloppy altogether on a regular guy working out.

Once again, when the time comes to choose, keep it simple by minimizing the amount of colors in your gym outfit. If you only have one pair of shorts, make sure its color is neutral so that it can easily match most of your T-shirts and sneakers.

Great fabrics for shorts are a mix of cotton with spandex or polyester. These stretch materials make the shorts fit perfectly, offer great support and look great too.

Whatever shorts you decide to wear to the gym, just remember to keep your bathing suits for the pool and your jean shorts for gardening or painting the house.

For days when you're working your upper body, wear track pants; they're stylish, extremely comfortable and designed for intense wear and tear from training. When they are worn with trendy running shoes, the right track pants can be worn as everyday casual wear. Once again, keep the colors to a minimum and opt for a straight cut.

Stay away from track pants with a narrow finish, because they won't fall well on your running shoes. Track pants come in every style and color, so just pick a pair that will easily match the rest of your training gear.

Recommended colors are black, gray and navy blue, as they blend nicely with most colors and aren't likely to get stained or dirty.

If you want trendier track pants, look for drawstrings in the waistband and/or around your ankles. Other neat accessories are zippers, buttons and different pockets. Thicker and modern fabrics such as nylon will give your track pants more durability while adding to your trendy look.

All sporting good manufacturers carry a line of track pants, so you shouldn't have a problem finding a pair. Apart from your sneakers, track pants will probably be the most expensive item so be ready to spend a little more for them.
