Men's Athleisure Clothing & Shoes 

Men's Athleisure & Workout Clothes: Style Meets Performance

Whether you are crushing a personal best at the gym, chasing toddlers around the park, or simply tackling a weekend to-do list, your wardrobe needs to keep up. Gone are the days when "gym clothes" meant an oversized, old t-shirt and baggy shorts. Today, men's activewear and athleisure represent the perfect intersection of functionality, comfort, and style.

At Kohl’s, we understand that modern life is a balancing act. You need gear that works as hard as you do, offering the flexibility to move from a morning workout to a coffee run without missing a beat. Our collection of workout clothes is designed for real life—prioritizing accessible style, trusted quality, and the kind of value that makes families smile.

Essential Gear for Every Workout

Building a solid rotation of gym clothes starts with the basics. However, "basic" doesn't mean boring. The right essentials provide the foundation for better performance and higher confidence. Here is a breakdown of the must-have items every man should have in his gym bag.

Performance Tops: Tees, Tanks, and Polos

The cornerstone of any workout clothes collection is the performance top. Look for shirts featuring moisture-wicking technology (often labeled as Dri-FIT or similar tech). These fabrics pull sweat away from your skin to the exterior of the fabric where it evaporates quickly, keeping you cool and dry.

• Training Tees: Opt for a mix of crewneck and v-neck styles. A good training tee should have a relaxed but not baggy fit, allowing for a full range of motion during overhead presses or stretching.
• Tanks and Sleeveless Tees: Perfect for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or hot summer runs where breathability is priority number one.
• Active Polos: Yes, you can be active and collared. These are excellent for golf, tennis, or days when you need to look a bit more polished while staying comfortable.

Bottoms: Shorts, Joggers, and Pants

Your choice of bottoms often dictates your comfort level.

• Gym Shorts: Look for 7-inch or 9-inch inseams for a modern fit that isn't too long or too short. Lined shorts offer built-in support, reducing the need for separate underwear and preventing chafing during runs.
• Joggers: The ultimate athleisure staple. A tapered jogger offers a clean, tailored look that highlights your sneakers while providing the comfort of sweatpants. They are perfect for warming up, cooling down, or lounging at home.
• Compression Wear: For those heavy leg days or long runs, compression shorts or leggings worn under your shorts can improve blood flow and reduce muscle fatigue.

Layering Pieces: Hoodies and Quarter-Zips

Even in warmer months, gyms can be blasted with air conditioning, and early mornings can be brisk.

• The Performance Hoodie: Lighter than your heavy winter coat, these hoodies trap warmth without overheating. Look for zippered pockets to keep your keys and phone secure.
• Quarter-Zips: A versatile layer that transitions seamlessly from the golf course to the office on casual Fridays. They layer easily over a tee and look structured enough for video calls.
