There are days when nothing could inspire me to hit the gym. No fear of losing muscle, getting chunkier or outgrowing another pair of jeans can get me off the couch and into my gym shoes. On such days, I look to my gym closet. You shouldn’t underestimate the power of a cute gym outfit, and I am always on the lookout for another one.
This week, I got my hands on a few new pieces from athleisure brand Hunnit. Full disclaimer: this was not my first experience with the brand. Hunnit was the only one I went back to for seconds. This sweatshirt-and-pants combo arrived at just the right time — a weekend before a long flight to Kerala. With its subtle, monochromatic ivory colour, it made for an easy, breezy airport outfit.
Right after buying a full-year membership at my local gym last year, I tried a few pieces from some of the most popular gymwear brands in India.
Of course, once I landed in hot and humid Kerala, the thick fabric became quite bothersome. I would recommend this set for colder weather rather than warm, humid destinations. The sweatshirt-and-pants set is a little more season-specific. It looks polished enough for airport dressing and is comfortable for a long flight, but the heavier fabric makes it a poor choice for warm and humid weather. I also wasn’t entirely sold on the fit of the pants.
The sweatshirt has full-length sleeves and a 3/4 zipper at the neck, which can be zipped up into a high neck for those chillier moments on flights. The fabric isn’t 100% cotton — it is made of 65% cotton, 31% polyester and 5% spandex — but that actually works in its favour as a travel outfit. At ₹ 1,299, the top is also fairly budget-friendly.
