Let’s talk gymwear. Not the showy, over-filtered kind you scroll past on Instagram. I mean the real deal — the everyday gym outfits that we, as women, throw on to move, breathe, lift, stretch, and feel a little more like ourselves.
And if you’ve been living in leggings and sports bras (same), you already know the power of a good sneaker. That’s where New Balance comes in. Their shoes are comfy, cute, and somehow go with everything — from yoga girl soft-sets to weight-room warrior vibes.
So today I’m sharing 11 New Balance shoe outfit ideas made just for us, the women who want to feel good, look put-together, and own our workout space — whatever that looks like.
1. Sleek All-Black Set + White New Balance 550s
You can never go wrong with black leggings and a black sports bra or crop top. Throw on your crisp white 550s, and suddenly it’s giving: “I’m serious about this workout, but also yes, I did plan this look.”
Add: A sleek bun, no-makeup makeup, and a gold chain for effortless gym glam.
2. Matching Co-Ord Set + Classic Grey 327s
There’s something about wearing a matching set that just boosts your energy. Go for lilac, sage, or mocha tones, and pair it with grey or muted New Balance 327s. You’ll feel confident, calm, and ready to crush your session.
Bonus: This look takes zero thinking but looks like you have it all together.
3. Cropped Hoodie + High-Waisted Leggings + Neutral 574s
This is my go-to on days when I’m not in the mood to try too hard but still want to look cute. A dusty rose or oatmeal hoodie, soft black leggings, and beige or taupe NB 574s? Cozy perfection.
Think: Sunday morning yoga, iced coffee after, and a vibe that says “soft but strong.”
4. Oversized Tee + Biker Shorts + Chunky NB 990s
This one’s for the girls who love a little street style in the gym. An oversized tee (steal one from your brother or boyfriend — no shame), fitted biker shorts, and dad-style New Balance 990s. Add scrunched socks for that relaxed, cool-girl look.
It’s effortless. Like you just happen to look amazing.
5. Bold Colored Leggings + White or Cream Sneakers
Feeling low energy? Put on bright leggings (think coral, cobalt, emerald), a neutral top, and clean white or cream New Balance shoes. I swear color boosts your mood before you even hit your warm-up.
Try it on cardio day. You’ll thank me.
6. Neutral-Toned Outfit + Gold or Rose Accent NBs
Beige leggings + white tank + New Balance shoes with gold or rose detailing? Instant soft luxury. It’s giving “rich girl goes to Pilates,” and honestly — you deserve to feel that kind of main character energy.
7. Boxy Crop Top + Flared Yoga Pants + Retro 530s
You know those NB 530s that feel like they came straight out of the early 2000s? Pair them with a boxy cropped tee and flared leggings — and boom, you’ve recreated a nostalgic but totally in-style look.
It’s sporty, cute, and easy to dance in (or just vibe in the mirror).
8. Wrap-Front Sports Bra + Matching Shorts + White NB 5740s
A wrap-front or V-cut sports bra shows off your shoulders and elongates your frame — match it with shorts in the same color, and pair with bold 5740s. This is your summer workout outfit. Cute enough for selfies, comfy enough for squats.
9. Windbreaker Jacket + Leggings + Colorblock NBs
For outdoor workouts or early morning gym runs, layer up with a cropped windbreaker over your usual set and finish it with colorblock New Balance shoes (like pink and grey, or navy and lime).
It’s a whole aesthetic. Looks great, feels better.
10. Oversized Button-Up + Tank + Tight Leggings + 327s
Want to feel like a fitness influencer without the pressure? Try a loose linen or cotton button-up shirt, left open over your gym tank and leggings. Add sleek New Balance 327s and a mini crossbody bag.
It’s giving: “I workout, but I also brunch and meditate.”
11. All-White Fit + Statement Sneakers
Okay, this one’s for the bold girls. All white — sports bra, leggings, maybe even your socks — with a pair of bright or patterned New Balance shoes. You’ll stand out (in a good way), and it’s a surprisingly motivating outfit.
Warning: You will feel like a goddess walking into the gym.
Final Thoughts: Wear What Feels Like You
Here’s what I’ve learned: gym outfits aren’t about trends — they’re about identity. Some days you want to feel strong and grounded. Other days, soft and light. But every day, you deserve to walk into that gym feeling like yourself — in sneakers that support you and outfits that make you feel good.
New Balance gets it. Comfort, function, style — all rolled into one.
So try one of these outfits. Mix, match, experiment. But most importantly — own it.
