Shop Women's Gym Clothes & Sportswear at Myprotein
Finding the right women's rest day clothes makes all the difference between feeling sluggish and feeling ready to tackle your next session. Rest days aren't just about doing nothing – they're active recovery time, whether you're heading to a yoga class, taking a long walk, or simply running errands between light stretches at home.
Our women's rest day clothing collection combines soft, breathable fabrics with relaxed fits that move with you throughout the day. From wide-strap sports bras to classic leggings in versatile colours, these pieces are designed to feel effortless whilst keeping you comfortable during low-intensity activities.
Who This Collection Is For
This range is built for anyone who understands that progress happens during recovery as much as during training. If you're balancing intense gym sessions with active rest days, you need clothing that transitions seamlessly from gentle movement to complete relaxation.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete who schedules regular recovery days or someone building a sustainable fitness routine, these pieces offer the comfort you need without sacrificing style. They're equally suited to yoga enthusiasts, walkers, and anyone who prefers to stay in activewear throughout their day.
Perfect For Any Workout
Rest day clothing works hardest when you're taking it easy. Wear these pieces for gentle yoga flows, stretching sessions, foam rolling routines, or restorative Pilates classes. The relaxed fits and soft fabrics make them ideal for activities where you need unrestricted movement without compression.
They're also perfect for those in-between moments – warming up before a session, cooling down afterwards, or simply lounging at home whilst your body recovers. The versatile colours mean you can wear them to the shops, meet friends for coffee, or relax on the sofa without looking like you've just rolled out of bed.
Key Features
Soft, Breathable Fabrics
Every piece is made with materials that feel gentle against your skin during low-intensity movement. The fabrics allow airflow whilst maintaining their shape wash after wash, so they stay as comfortable on the hundredth wear as they did on the first.
Relaxed, Movement-Friendly Fits
These aren't your high-compression training pieces – they're designed with a more forgiving fit that lets you move freely without restriction. Wide straps, comfortable waistbands, and classic silhouettes mean you can stretch, bend, and relax without feeling constrained.
Versatile Colour Palette
From classic black and grey marl to softer shades like smokey purple and light pink, the colour range makes it easy to mix and match pieces or integrate them into your existing wardrobe. These are shades that work just as well in the studio as they do outside the gym.
Durable Construction
Rest day clothing still needs to withstand regular wear and washing. Reinforced stitching and quality materials ensure these pieces maintain their shape and comfort through countless recovery days, making them reliable staples in your activewear rotation.

FAQs
What size should I choose for rest day clothing?
Rest day pieces are designed with a more relaxed fit than high-compression training wear. If you're between sizes, you can stick with your usual size for a comfortable fit or size up if you prefer a looser feel. Check the size guide on each product page for specific measurements.
How should I care for my rest day clothing?
Machine wash at 30 degrees with similar colours and avoid fabric softener, which can affect the fabric's breathability. Air drying is best to maintain the shape and softness of the materials, though you can tumble dry on a low setting if needed.
Can I wear rest day clothing for actual workouts?
These pieces are designed for low-intensity activities like yoga, walking, and stretching. For high-intensity training or running, you'll get better performance from our dedicated training collections that offer compression and sweat-wicking technology.
What activities are rest day clothes best suited for?
Think gentle yoga, foam rolling, stretching sessions, walking, restorative Pilates, or simply lounging at home. They're perfect for any activity where you want comfortable movement without the restriction of compression wear.
How do the sports bras in this collection differ from high-support bras?
Rest day sports bras feature wider straps and a more relaxed fit designed for light support during low-impact activities. They prioritise comfort over compression, making them ideal for yoga or casual wear rather than running or high-intensity training.
Can I wear these pieces outside the gym?
Absolutely. The versatile colours and classic designs make these pieces easy to wear for errands, coffee runs, or casual meetups. They're designed to look polished whilst feeling comfortable, so you won't look like you've just stepped off the gym floor.
Who designed the rest day clothing collection?
All pieces in this collection are designed by Myprotein's in-house design team, who focus on creating activewear that balances comfort, functionality, and style for every aspect of your fitness routine.
Will the leggings stay opaque during stretching and bending?
Yes, the fabrics are designed to maintain opacity during movement. The materials have enough thickness to stay non-see-through during yoga poses, stretches, and everyday activities whilst remaining breathable and comfortable.
