Men's Rest Day Gym Clothes
Shop Men's Rest Day at Myprotein
Rest days matter just as much as training days. This collection brings together relaxed fits and soft fabrics designed for downtime, recovery sessions, and everything in between. From track pants to hoodies, each piece balances comfort with a clean, unfussy aesthetic that works whether you're stretching at home or heading out for a casual meet-up.
Built for movement without restriction, these pieces use breathable materials that feel good against the skin. The designs are deliberately simple—no unnecessary details, just well-considered cuts that layer easily and wear well over time.
Who This Collection Is For
This range suits anyone who values comfort without compromising on fit. Whether you're deep into a structured training programme or simply prefer versatile pieces for everyday wear, these items adapt to how you move through your day. They work for active recovery, light mobility work, or simply unwinding after a demanding session.
If you're looking for clothing that transitions seamlessly from home to gym to errands, this collection delivers. The straightforward designs mean they pair easily with what's already in your wardrobe, while the quality construction ensures they hold up through regular wear and washing.
When to Wear These Pieces
Rest day doesn't mean sitting still. These pieces work for foam rolling sessions, yoga, walking, or any low-intensity activity where you want to move freely. The relaxed fits give you room to stretch and breathe without feeling restricted, whilst the breathable fabrics prevent overheating during lighter movement.
Beyond recovery sessions, they're equally at home for weekend wear, travelling, or layering under heavier outerwear. The clean aesthetic means they look deliberate rather than purely functional—comfortable enough for lounging but polished enough for stepping outside.
Key Features
Soft, Breathable Fabrics
The materials used across this collection prioritise comfort. Lightweight cotton blends and soft jersey constructions feel gentle against the skin whilst allowing air to circulate. These fabrics drape naturally without clinging, making them ideal for extended wear.
Relaxed, Unrestricted Fits
Every piece features a considered cut that gives you freedom of movement. Track pants sit comfortably at the waist without digging in, whilst tops offer enough room through the shoulders and chest for natural movement. The fits are relaxed but not oversized—they maintain shape without feeling baggy.
Versatile, Layerable Designs
The straightforward styling means these pieces work together or with items you already own. Neutral colourways make mixing and matching effortless, whilst clean lines ensure they layer smoothly under jackets or over base layers when needed.
Durable Construction
Reinforced stitching and quality materials ensure these pieces withstand regular washing and wearing. The fabrics maintain their shape and softness over time, whilst details like ribbed cuffs and waistbands hold their elasticity through repeated use.

FAQs
How do these pieces fit compared to regular sizing?
The Rest Day collection features a relaxed fit throughout. Most customers find their usual size gives them comfortable room to move without feeling oversized. If you prefer a closer fit, consider sizing down, but the standard sizing is designed to feel easy and unrestricted for downtime wear.
What fabrics are used in this collection?
The range uses predominantly cotton blends and jersey constructions chosen for softness and breathability. These materials feel gentle against the skin whilst maintaining durability through regular washing. The fabrics are lightweight enough for year-round wear and layer well under heavier pieces when temperatures drop.
How should I care for these items?
Machine wash inside out on a cool setting to preserve the fabric and colour. Avoid tumble drying where possible—air drying helps maintain the shape and softness of the materials. The construction is robust enough for regular washing, but gentle care extends the lifespan of any garment.
Can I wear these pieces for light workouts?
Absolutely. Whilst designed with rest days in mind, these pieces work well for low-intensity activities like yoga, stretching, walking, or mobility sessions. The relaxed fits and breathable fabrics give you freedom of movement without the structured support of performance activewear.
What activities suit this collection?
These pieces are ideal for recovery sessions, foam rolling, casual walks, travelling, or simply relaxing at home. They're versatile enough for running errands or meeting friends whilst remaining comfortable for stretching and light movement throughout the day.
How do the track pants differ from joggers?
Track pants typically feature a straighter leg with a slight taper and often include side detailing or piping. These Rest Day track pants maintain a relaxed fit through the thigh and knee before tapering gently at the ankle, creating a clean silhouette that works for both active and casual wear.
Who designed this collection?
The Rest Day range was developed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating functional, comfortable pieces that meet the needs of active lifestyles. Each item is designed with attention to fit, fabric selection, and versatility.
Do these pieces work for layering?
Yes, the straightforward cuts and neutral colours make layering simple. Hoodies fit comfortably over tanks or tees, whilst track pants sit smoothly under longer jackets or coats. The fabrics are lightweight enough to layer without adding bulk, making them practical for transitional weather.
